Kundalini Yoga removes the dark mark on the soul

The formation of a wave in the mind is called Satvaguna. The disappearance of that wave is called Tamoguna. The dynamic state of change between the formation and disappearance of a wave is called Rajoguna. When a thought is formed, it is a wave of Satvaguna and when it disappears, the darkness of Tamoguna prevails. It is also a wave but it is not visible due to darkness or say it’s in the form of type and extent of darkness that’s hard to differentiate. The more a wave rises upwards, the more it sinks downwards, meaning it goes towards the netherworld or the pit or darkness. If seen, the initial virtual existence is of Satoguna only. Tamoguna is its virtual mark on the soul which is in the form of darkness. Both the Gunas are false or virtual, but first a wave of Satoguna was created in the Nirgun soul. Then Tamoguna was formed from it, then Satoguna from it, then Tamoguna from it, then Satoguna and this sequence has been going on since time immemorial. The Nirgun soul is also like Sattva Guna, as it is luminous, full of bliss, and full of existence, but there are no virtual waves in it. Due to the creation of virtual waves in it by the body, it became a living soul with Sattva Guna. However, the original God always remains the same Nirgun. There is no change in it. Then once Sattva was created in the living soul, then the sequence of changes of gunas was bound to continue as mentioned above. A seed keeps getting created from a tree and a tree from a seed. This is the game or disease of birth and death, whatever you may call it. It is not me saying this, but the scriptures are saying this. A man or any living being is afraid of death because he fears that he will have to go through the process of a new birth full of sufferings again. He fears this because he sees the cyclical change of gunas in his life every day. After experiencing darkness, he has to experience light as well. He cannot remain in darkness continuously. Because both are relative to each other. That is why he feels in his subconscious mind that he is going from the darkness of death to the light of birth. If death were to continue permanently, then it would be like liberation that’s free of all sufferings. Then no one would be afraid of it.

All the information of the luminous wave of thought is recorded in its darkness. The soul is the middle level of the water-like living being. I called the living being water-like because waves keep rising in it like water. Perhaps that is why water is called a deity. When the wave buried or say submerged below ends and existence-water reaches the surface level, then the soul starts feeling its peaceful state. Before it is fully felt, a new wave rises again, and the same process is repeated. This sequence continues indefinitely. In this way man is not able to attain peace of soul. Although soul is a calm state between the high wave of Satva Guna and the low wave of Tamo Guna. But it is said that it is experienced in the form of Kundalini awakening only when Satva Guna is at its peak. This peak of Satva Guna is attained only through the meditation of Kundalini Yoga. By the way, the intermediate state which we are calling Atma (soul) is not the pure Atma but the living soul that have all three gunas in equilibrium. What is experienced by Kundalini awakening is the pure Atma that’s nirguna or devoid of gunas, not the impure living soul. Hence, there is no contradiction here. I think Buddhists find the changing Atman true because of this very same reason as only changing Atman though changing gunas has more chance to touch the peak of satoguna in the form of kundalini awakening rather than unchanging Atman.

In this way we can see that soul feels the three qualities of nature by imposing them on itself. It means that soul takes the form of nature itself. It means that it takes the form of the three qualities of virtual nature. When nature itself is non-existent, then how can its three qualities exist. This is called the illusory world. It means that all changes are false, but Buddhists consider momentaryism i.e. changeability to be true. Perhaps they have considered the union of Purusha and Prakriti as pure soul. Or it can be something else also. This is what is said in the scriptures that the world is made of the union of prakriti and Purusha. In reality, prakriti does not exist. It is virtual like a computer game, but the soul assumes the form of this virtual prakriti and gives it existence. The real existence is only of the soul. That is why it is said in Advaita Vedanta that the soul is everything. There is nothing else.

But of course prakriti is virtual, but in practice it leaves its effect, which is visible on the soul. That is why the dualistic philosophy of Sankhya darshan in the form of Prakriti-Purushvaad is called a more practical philosophy. Although the influence of each other is visible in all the philosophies. Just look at the Apurvavaad of Purva Mimamsa philosophy. This philosophy says that Apurva that’s ‘as not before’ is born in the soul due to any action done by its embodied being. That Apurva is destroyed only when the fruit of that action is received. That Apurva is the impression of darkness that falls on the soul due to that action, in which all the information of that action is hidden. When this imprint appears in the form of an event in a physical form, then we call it the fruit of that karma. Because the energy of that imprint or Apurva got weakened or destroyed by coming out. Therefore, the imprint of darkness recorded on the soul also gets erased. Perhaps, this is how karmas get weakened by yoga. Due to Kundalini Yoga, thoughts related to old karmas keep on pouring in the mind, due to which the shadow of darkness created by them on the soul keeps on getting erased. Of course, it gets erased more slowly than getting the fruit, but it does get erased. That is why it is said that sins get destroyed by yoga. Every activity of a person gets recorded on the soul. Whether it is physical or mental. No matter how cleverly or with how much detachment that activity was carried out. Perhaps, that is why it is said that nothing is hidden from God. The imprint recorded on the soul is what we call the sanskaras or subconscious mind. Whatever we learn or read, we do not remember it all. But we feel a kind of transformation inside us because of it. This is felt only because of the imprint they leave on the soul. This is why I feel that old memories are stored in the soul. The brain only works to express them in the gross form of waves. Consider the soul to be a subtle wave. Consider the old memories to be subtle audio-visual signals superimposed on it. Consider the brain to be a decoder and amplifier, which converts and amplifies the subtle signals present on the soul back into gross audio-visual thoughts. The proof of this is that many people remember the events of their previous births correctly. Their body, brain, mind etc. of the previous birth were all burnt to ashes. Then how did those memories go to the next birth? They can go only by remaining on the soul, there is no other way.

Friends, I think I was connected to music in my previous life. In my dreams, I often sing songs in clear, sweet and soulful tunes, in an enthusiastic way alone or in crowd of procession, especially devotional bhajans of Goddess Mother. I have even recorded many songs after immediately waking up from sleep. I know an acquaintance of mine who prepares the entire song on the computer itself. Everything like music etc. is added by software. If the Goddess blesses, it is possible that an album of the bhajans of my dreams will be released soon.

Kundalini Yoga reduces the potential difference as Rajo guna between Sattva Guna and Tamo Guna

Even if a person wants, he cannot stop the disturbance in his Gunas. The Prana Vayu keeps creating waves in the Gunas, just like the wind creates a storm in the ocean. However, the Yogis who have controlled the Prana Vayu through Pranayama etc., to a large extent, control the waves and so know well their real and basic level of the soul made of base level unchanging gunas. Take a person who has always seen a stormy sea, and has never seen a calm and still sea. He will think that the sea is always like this and that is its real form. Means in a way he will not have any knowledge of the calm soul form like the real and basic form of the sea without waves. If he ever sees a completely calm sea instead of regular stormy sea or say, the sea frozen due to cold in the polar region, then he will say that the sea has dried up or ended. Similarly, when people see a living person dead, they say that he is dead, but a person never dies. It’s worth mentioning here that it’s not the positive appraisal of negligence towards body like self harming instincts or suicide etc. The body always dies. Then one doesn’t know when one will get a new body, which one to get, with how much hardship it’ll be got, even after getting it one don’t know how long it will remain alive, who knows. Therefore one must take good care of the body. It only means that the soul of a person never dies, because the soul is the real form of a person. It is like a person who has always felt his form as the form of waves of his mind, i.e., with changing qualities. He does not know that this form of waves is not his basic form. He has never pacified his mind with yoga, meditation, etc. All the seas in a storm look the same, because the water is not visible properly in them. But when the storm calms down, then the water of some appears blue, while some appear green. The water of some is less, while some have more. Some have less sea vegetation like algae, while some have more. In some, there will be one type of sea creatures, while in some, there will be some other type. Similarly, people with frequent mental storms also look the same. As soon as we start focusing on any of their qualities, it changes at that very moment. This is why only by meeting the soul after death, we can get accurate and detailed information about its basic qualities.

There are as many oceans as there are living beings in the universe

This is a very interesting subject and by continuing to write, new puzzles keep getting solved. And if there is some experience along with it, then what can be said. Consider the rising wave to be happiness or Satva Guna and the wave falling below the normal surface of the ocean to be sorrow or Tamo Guna. This keeps happening in the mind throughout life. After death, the mind or soul becomes like the normal surface of the ocean. Neither the wave goes up nor down. Neither happiness nor sorrow. But this is not so, because if there are three gunas, then happiness and sorrow will always be there. This is the Trigunatita Parmatma in whom there is neither happiness nor sorrow, but there is only absolute bliss. Understand that both Satva Guna and Tamo Guna are present in the soul. However, both are in less quantity because there is no body to highly lift or drop them, that is, to create huge waves in them. This is the equilibrium state of the gunas. Meaning Satva Guna is also at its constant level and Tamo Guna is also at its fixed constant level. Someone will say that then how will the quantity of all the three gunas be different in all people. See, the one who has more Satva Guna at the time of death, will be fixed there after death, meaning it will remain more even later. It is like if the wave of the polar sea rises up when it freezes, then it will remain raised at the same level even after freezing, it will not change from there. However due to gravity it can’t be frozen at very high level. It is also true that at the time of death, the gunas often remain at the level as the sum average form of all its previous gunas and deeds. Meaning, there will be different amounts of darkness in the soul of all people. No matter how close two people are to each other, the amount of darkness in the souls of both cannot be the same. This is impossible. There will always be some difference. That is why there is never any deception in the matter of soul that the soul of so and so entered the body of so and so by mistake. Whatever happens in stories seems to be an educational metaphor. When a ghost etc. occupies someone’s body, it clearly tells that he is a ghost. That is why he is driven away by tantriks etc. If someone had the power to become a photocopy of someone’s soul, then the ghost would have also become so. Then no one would know and no one would even drive him out of the other’s body. But this does not happen. That is why it is said that the mental state at the time of death determines the future after death. That is why many people go to pilgrimage places like Kashi to die, many listen to spiritual texts like Gita etc. at the time of death. Here another problem opens up. Of course, after death the soul becomes changeless and unrest-free, peaceful and all-pervasive like God, but there is a huge difference between the two. The soul, though it seems like Nirgun, is bound by all three Gunas, but God is actually Nirgun i.e. beyond Gunas. That is why he is more than the soul and you can say that he is the form of the ultimate subtle, the ultimate all-pervasive, the ultimate changeless, the ultimate peaceful, and the ultimate Sachchidananda. This should be understood especially by those people who are under the illusion of considering God and the soul to be almost the same. Many worship buried dead bodies etc. Many think that after death their ticket to heaven is booked.

Kundalini Yoga assist in successfull sex

Another secret fact I tell you is that during sexual contact also this base level soul contact is most profound. This is because at times of sex one wants to be in full loneliness except only two sexual partners. This instinct is the origin of shying stance in sexual matters. No one wants to do sex in public as then it’s not sex but a dramma only. Even no one wants to talk about his real sexual experience leave away sexual drama that’s advertised heavily by cheaters. So said, what’s more loneliness than the basic soul form fully away from worldly chaos whether physical or mental. Although everything of base level soul is not visible like scenes on a TV, but its average subtle form is experienced. It’s like a special or unique darkness. Of course, that form may seem suffocating to us, because we are not used to it. But the free soul that has got accustomed to it will not feel so. Even sexual energy is so much high that it provides more than enough bliss in that short lived basal soul form contact. This way love also grows. It’s common observation that departed soul contact often occur in tantric mixed sexual environment. The reason is same that intense sexual energy of tantra provides enough energy to withstand that short lived suffocating soul contact. Simple sex don’t suffice much as there’s less mind control in it and also, it’s of shorter duration. Kundalini Yoga based tantra boosts the sexual experience because it further increases the level of loneliness with help of kundalini meditation that’s prerequisite for blissful and successful Sex. Kundalini meditation rules out every worldly chaos except a single mental kundalini image. It’s necessary because we can not keep mental energy on hold, and while doing so it’s suffocating and bliss also goes on hold. Then what a sex without bliss. But with kundalini image in mind, it becomes the source of profound bliss. It’s fully akin to complete loneliness as mental kundalini image is nothing physical but only a mental creation. That is why it is said that true love can happen with only one person at a time, not with two. Tantra also advocate going solely with single partner for long period of time. However it’s important and interesting to know one reprimanded by multiple partners severely only wishes to go in perfect solace only with single one. Perhaps sex is pleasurable because it attempts to reach the deepest depths of the soul, the top treasure of bliss. In fact sex science is much deep and vast than supposed as truly told by Osho Maharaj.

Soul and world is the gameplay of light and darkness

Kundalini Yoga is an integral part of Sex

I feel that what we consider as Satva Guna is becoming Tamo Guna in the background. It is like the shade is formed from sunlight. It means that whatever the soul has experienced from the beginning, all of it is present in it in the form of Tamo Guna i.e. darkness. Whatever it will continue to feel in the future, it will also keep getting recorded as darkness. It is like according to intensity and the nature of sunlight, the intensity and the nature of shade will be formed. As the type of leaves of the tree, the type of shade will be formed. That is, the shade in the form of Tamoguna will be formed according to the nature of the body, mind or brain. This means that the shade has all the information about the sunlight that forms it or the sunlight that has filtered through its leaves. Satvaguna is the pure form of the soul. It will remain by default. It cannot be erased. It is possible that it may be visible more or less according to the amount of Tamoguna. If Tamoguna is more, Satoguna will be less and if Tamoguna is less, Satoguna will be more. Rajoguna will also be in the form of the natural tendency of the soul under which it wants to go from Tamoguna to Satoguna. This means that if we do not feel the world, it will not be recorded in the soul as Tamoguna. But it is also not possible to stay away from the world. That way tamoguna will come later, first one may have to die of hunger. The middle path is of detachment. It means to experience worldly matters without attachment. Due to this, worldliness will continue and its shadow will also not be able to settle on the soul or it will settle less. This is easily possible through yoga. In the scriptures, it is said to adopt sattvik methods without attachment so that its sattvik sanskars keep on getting into the mind. It takes less effort to remove sattvik sanskars from the mind than rajasik and tamasik ones, which increases the possibility of liberation. If these are not put into the mind, then absurd sanskars will keep getting into the mind because the mind cannot remain empty. It is very difficult to remove them, which reduces the possibility of liberation to a great extent. But only this will not work. The soot of the impression of worldliness of countless past births which has settled on the soul will also have to be cleaned. That too will be done through Kundalini yoga, especially aggressive tantric Kundalini yoga. Due to this, Sattva Guna will increase in the soul and Tamo Guna and Rajo Guna will decrease. Rajo Guna will decrease because now the nominal Tamo Guna does not have enough potential to move towards Sattva Guna at a fast pace. This latent Rajoguna is also like the potential difference between two opposite poles of electricity. The greater the difference between their opposite charges, the more rapidly will be the flow of more electric current in the circuit connecting them. The Sattva Guna of the pure soul is supreme and definite. The amount of Tamoguna of the bound soul will determine whether the potential difference of Rajoguna between them will be less or more. See, the circuit between the two will be connected only when the soul gets a body. Then a lot of electric current will flow between them in the form of mental thoughts. It will keep increasing or decreasing according to the Tamoguna of the soul. That is why after drinking etc. in a party, people feel refreshed and get involved in their work with new zeal and enthusiasm even more than before. This is just an example. And it can also be harmful in matters of spirituality. Many people, after spending a long time in solitude, enter the world with new and increased energy. This is the power of the Tamoguna of loneliness.  As said above, Tamoguna decreases with Kundalini Yoga. This reduces the potential difference of Rajoguna between Satvaguna and Tamoguna. That is why the behavior of a Yogi is not impulsive or short-tempered or blindly progressive, but is patient, serious and systematic. Many times, Tantra Yogis can temporarily accept Tamoguna to achieve temporary impulsive behavior according to the demand of time and place. This Rajoguna remains in the form of latent potential difference in the soul without a body. Meaning, there is a force to go from darkness to light, but due to the absence of the electrical circuit of the body, the darkness is unable to reach the light. Meaning, Tamoguna cannot express as Satoguna.

Kundalini Yoga increases Satva Guna

Best wishes to all friends on International Yoga Day

Friends, According to the scriptures, the universe is made with the cooperation of Purusha and Prakriti. Only Prakriti has all the three Gunas, not Purusha. Purusha is Gunaatita means he is beyond the three Gunas. Purusha is pure soul. Prakriti is inert. It means that Prakriti does not have its own existence. Prakriti is virtual. Then who feels the three Gunas of Prakriti? It is Purusha only who feels the Gunas of Prakriti. Nature or prakriti has been given a feminine form because there is more similarity between the two. A woman wants to show her beauty and looks to the world as much as possible by dressing up and so does nature. Seeing beautiful nature reminds one of a beautiful woman. Similarly, seeing a beautiful woman brings alive the charming nature. A man does not enjoy going anywhere without a woman. Actually, a man is connected to nature, that is, he is bound. This is what we call a bound soul. When he separates himself from nature by behaving indifferently towards its qualities, then he again becomes a free soul, that is, a pure soul. It is worth noting here that to be free, it is necessary to be bound. The first step to liberation is bondage. How can an animal that is not even tied to a peg be free from it? In the living state of a man, his soul feels the rising and falling waves of the three Gunas of Prakriti. This is considered to be the sign of a man’s living state. The more and faster the waves are formed in him, the more alive he is considered to be. When one meets a lover, the wave of Satva Guna rises. Love and happiness overflow all around the mind. Old memories become fresh in beautiful forms. There is a smile and glow on the face. There is a good appetite, one feels like working. The person is filled with a good mentality. When there is separation from her or him, the rising wave of Sattva Guna descends and falls below the base or ground level. All the happiness seems to disappear. The mind turns into depression. Old beautiful memories disappear in the deep darkness. A feeling of hatred and sadness engulfs the mind. There is a wrinkle and darkness on the face. Hunger disappears. One does not feel like working. What was earlier a wave of Sattva Guna, becomes a wave of Tamo Guna. During the mutual change between Sattva Guna and Tamo Guna, there is also a state of a small wave of Rajo Guna. It means that there is no immediate change from Sattva Guna to Tamo Guna and Tamo Guna to Sattva Guna, but it goes through Rajo Guna. We can call Rajo Guna a slightly rising wave. The basic nature of a human being is considered to be Rajo Guni. Meaning he is so busy in work that he is rarely able to raise the mental wave to the high level of Satva Guna. Sadhus raise it through meditation. Gods are called Satva Guni. Meaning their Satva Guna is of a high level. Of course there is no wave in it because they do not have a physical body. The various human-like idol forms given to the various gods are all imaginary, although they are very similar to their real forms. Similarly, all animal species are called Tamo Guni. This happens due to the lack of brain i.e. mind in them. That is why it is said that Satva Guni people go to Devlok or get liberated, Rajo Guni people attain human life again and Tamo Guni people attain animal life.

Now the question is that after death, till the time a body is not gotten, in what state do the gunas remain in the soul. In the previous article also we had thrown light on this fact of the scriptures that at that time all the three basic qualities that’s gunas remain in equilibrium. Equilibrium means that the quantity of the three qualities can vary among themselves, but each quality will be at a certain fixed level only. Meaning it will not change. Because without a body waves will not be formed in it. I had experienced a greater amount of Sattva Guna in the pure soul. It seemed as if the sun like an endless sky was covered by a thin membrane or veil and darkness was created from it. But that darkness was as bright as mascara, and as if the pressure of the sun rays wanted to burst that covering membrane. Sattva Guna is also a symbol of light. Still nothing was changing. There was no movement anywhere. The invisible movement like boiling that was felt was probably the basic Rajoguna. However, it was only an apparent movement, not real. Tamoguna was already there in the form of darkness like kajal or mascara. Consider the shine in kajal as Sattva Guna. Still that soul seemed pure and Satvik to me. Once during yoga I also felt an evil soul for a few moments. Its darkness seemed scary and full of sin, hatred and feelings of revenge. That soul had also harmed an acquaintance of mine that day, but he had survived safely. Meaning that there are subtle variations among souls in the form of different guna-groups. Superficially all souls look the same to us, but it is not so. The soul of a person is the same as the gunas and karmas of all his births.

There is also a psychological fact here which is related to yoga. Tamoguna is formed by worldliness adopted with attachment. But if attachment is removed from it through Kundalini yoga, then the same worldliness becomes Satoguna. Meaning that Satoguna increases with yoga. Rajoguna is the name of movement. Meaning that while Tamoguna is going towards Satoguna, it passes through Rajoguna. Meaning that the process of Satoguna turning into tamoguna and tamoguna turning into Satoguna is called Rajoguna. Both Satoguna and Tamoguna have a share in this, because one guna is getting destroyed and the other guna is getting formed. The soul’s natural tendency to move from Tamoguna to Satvaguna is Rajoguna, and that is what I felt as a virtual boiling or surge in the soul. Ignoring the natural tendency, people deliberately go from Satoguna to Tamoguna by doing bad or mean or sinful deeds. Sometimes they go directly from Satoguna to Tamoguna and sometimes go slowly through Rajoguna. Rajoguna comes in between in both situations. Of course, a little in the first situation and more in the second. Many Yogis enter into satoguna from Tamoguna immediately with  aggressive tantric Kundalini Yoga. Many people reach Satva Guna from tamoguna after going through the worldly life alongwith Rajoguna for a long time. This process of change of Guna or transformation of Guna continues like this.
