Deep Void Dhyana and the Transformation of Witnessing: My Ongoing Journey Through Classical Yoga

From Preparing the Body to Discovering the Nature of Awareness

Over the last few meditation sessions, my understanding of yoga has changed through direct experience rather than philosophical study. Each session seemed to remove another obstacle, allowing meditation to deepen naturally. Instead of searching for extraordinary experiences, I found myself discovering how ordinary factors such as the body’s condition, posture, preparation and mental state quietly influence the depth of dhyana. Looking back, I realized that every successful session had something to teach before revealing the next stage.

One of the earliest insights concerned the true meaning of Patanjali’s famous sutra, “Sthira Sukham Asanam.” Modern yoga often emphasizes asanas as physical exercises for flexibility or opening energetic channels. My experience suggested that this is only part of their purpose. The sutra itself simply defines an asana as one that is steady and comfortable. It does not insist that one posture should be maintained forever, nor does it encourage unnecessary movement. During meditation I realized that if one posture gradually ceased to remain both steady and comfortable, another stable posture could continue supporting meditation, provided the transition itself did not disturb awareness. The real purpose was never changing posture frequently but preserving uninterrupted meditation. Asanas therefore appeared to be less about physical performance and more about creating a body that never becomes an obstacle to prolonged awareness. This understanding also made Patanjali’s sequence meaningful. Asana naturally prepares the ground for pranayama, pratyahara, dharana and finally dhyana because the body itself becomes one of the foundations of meditation.

When Void Dhyana Changed the Nature of Witnessing

The next discovery was far more surprising. After entering what I call void dhyana, witnessing itself became completely different from ordinary witnessing. Thoughts still appeared, but they no longer possessed the brightness and convincing reality they normally have during waking consciousness. Instead, they seemed dream-like, almost transparent, arising like gentle waves within the same silent field that I experienced as the void. The void itself did not become brighter; rather, thoughts lost their apparent solidity. They no longer appeared separate from awareness. Because they were experienced as movements within the same field, they naturally settled without effort.

This led me to reflect on the difference between ordinary consciousness and meditation. During everyday life, thoughts dominate experience while awareness of the silent background remains comparatively hidden. After deep meditation, the relationship appears to reverse. Awareness becomes primary, while thoughts remain only temporary modifications arising within it. Witnessing therefore changes not because the instruction changes, but because the structure of experience itself changes.

Initially I wondered whether successful witnessing could occur only after void dhyana. On further reflection, a more careful conclusion emerged. My experience demonstrated that witnessing after deep meditation was qualitatively different from witnessing before it. Rather than claiming this must be true for everyone, it seemed more accurate to say that deep meditation transformed my own relationship with thoughts, making non-identification almost effortless.

Why Witnessing Sometimes Appears Difficult

This understanding also helped explain why many beginners report increasing mental noise when they first attempt meditation. Meditation itself may not be producing more thoughts; it may simply be making them more visible. My own experience suggested something further. When the mind remains strongly identified with worldly concerns, thoughts appear exceptionally vivid while awareness of the underlying silent field remains comparatively obscured. Under these conditions, merely attempting to witness may initially feel difficult because thoughts appear independent and convincing.

After deep dhyana, however, awareness itself becomes more evident. Thoughts continue arising, but they resemble passing dreams rather than independent realities. Because they are no longer experienced as separate, they gradually lose their binding force and dissolve naturally into the same awareness from which they arise. This insight felt far more meaningful than merely trying to suppress or control thoughts.

Comparing Yesterday’s and Today’s Meditation

As I compared consecutive meditation sessions, I noticed that each day removed another layer of obstacles. Yesterday’s meditation was performed after a bath, without preceding it with chakra meditation, and it took place on a normal working day when the background of professional responsibilities naturally remained present. Today’s practice unfolded under different conditions. It was a holiday, the mind was already more relaxed, chakra meditation preceded the main practice, and the overall atmosphere was more supportive for prolonged stillness.

Looking back, it seemed that whatever obstacles had limited yesterday’s meditation were largely absent today. Whether each factor contributed individually or together could not yet be determined, but the combined result was unmistakable. Today’s dhyana deepened significantly, and the quality of witnessing became completely transformed. This observation encouraged me not to attribute progress to any single technique but instead to continue removing one possible obstacle at a time while observing the effects honestly.

Refining the Field of Dhyana Through Mantra

Today’s meditation became sufficiently deep, although the field of void was not yet completely clear or infinitely expansive. Breathlessness was not full. Instead of struggling with thoughts, I directed my attention toward making the field of dhyana itself clearer, steadier and more transparent. Into that silent background I gently allowed the vibrations of Tat Sat, Satnam Shanti, Satnam Vaheguru and Tattvamasi to spread naturally. The chanting was not experienced as ordinary verbal repetition. It felt as though the mantras quietly diffused throughout the silent field without disturbing its stillness. As meditation deepened, the mantras themselves became subtler until silence again became primary and the sounds remained only as faint ripples within awareness.

This experience suggested that once the mind has become relatively quiet, a mantra may no longer function merely as an object of concentration. Instead, it may become a subtle resonance that gradually dissolves into silence itself. Rather than alternating between many mantras indefinitely, it may even be worthwhile to observe whether one naturally becomes subtler than the others and allows awareness to deepen further.

The Meanings of the Mantras Became Experiential

During meditation, the meanings of these ancient expressions also appeared differently than before. Tat Sat no longer seemed only a philosophical declaration but a direct indication of the silent void, the pure existence underlying all experience. Satnam Shanti suggested that the peace traditionally wished for the departed is ultimately the peace of liberation, the perfect and enduring peace of that same pure existence. During meditation, Satnam Vaheguru revealed another dimension for me. I understood Sat as the Name of Vaheguru, where “Name” did not signify a physical person but the inward remembrance through which meditation begins. A name is remembered in the mind; it is not the physical appearance itself. In this sense, the remembered name naturally becomes a meditation image or inner object of contemplation. That meditation image may arise from the memory of a physical Guru, but as meditation deepens it gradually becomes subtler, eventually dissolving into the silent reality toward which it points. Thus, my experience suggested that the purpose is not to remain attached to the form of the Guru but to allow even the remembered image to merge into Sat, the pure existence or silent presence. Whether the meditation begins with the memory of a revered Guru or with the simple remembrance of the Divine Name, both ultimately serve as pointers that dissolve into the same silent ground of awareness. Once guru dissolves in void it proves to be void itself. Tattvamasi also ceased to feel like an abstract philosophical sentence. It became almost as if a realized sage were directly addressing the disciple: “You are That.” You are not essentially the body, the mind or passing thoughts, but the silent presence that remains when all mental modifications settle.

These meanings did not arise from deliberate intellectual analysis but emerged naturally during meditation itself. Whether they continue to evolve with further practice remains an open question, yet they have already enriched my understanding of both mantra and meditation.

The Next Stage of My Exploration

Every meditation seems to reveal another condition that supports or limits depth. Rather than assuming I have reached final conclusions, I now feel encouraged to continue experimenting carefully. My next step will be to prepare the body before meditation using the traditional yogic cleansing practices of Kunjal Kriya, Jal Neti, Sutra (Rubber) Neti and Dhauti. My purpose is not simply physical cleansing but to investigate whether these classical shatkarmas remove subtler physiological obstacles that may further deepen dhyana, increase the continuity of awareness or refine the quality of witnessing. Whatever changes occur, I intend to document them honestly without forcing conclusions. This journey has increasingly shown me that yoga reveals itself step by step through direct experience. Each obstacle removed uncovers another layer of stillness, and each deeper stillness offers a clearer understanding of the relationship between body, mind, awareness and the silent reality toward which all genuine meditation ultimately points.n.

Kevala Kumbhaka, Open-Eyed Samadhi, Void Merger and the Dissolving of Separation Between Self, Mind and World

Recently, a reader commented on my post about Kevala Kumbhaka and his words stayed in my mind for a long time because they reflected a very sincere spiritual experience that many people silently go through but cannot easily explain. He wrote that for many years spontaneous breath suspension had been happening to him naturally. He never fully understood what was occurring because during those moments his mind seemed to disappear and ordinary awareness was absent. He described it as a mystery that followed him for years without clear explanation. He also mentioned that his stomach area used to expand greatly, not because of fat but because of some energetic infilling or fullness. Later he became more attentive to the process and noticed something important. Whenever the breath naturally stopped, the mind also disappeared. After emerging from such states, he experienced profound freedom and nonattachment. Yet despite these experiences happening repeatedly for years, he still remained curious and uncertain about what exactly was occurring. After reading my article, he felt that perhaps the process was related to Kevala Kumbhaka and realized that kumbhaka might hold a much deeper importance than he had previously understood.

His comment revealed something beautiful and genuine. Sometimes spiritual experiences happen first and understanding comes much later. A person may pass through deep inner transformations without having the philosophical language to describe them. The reader was not speaking from imagination or borrowed concepts. He was describing direct experiences of spontaneous stillness, breath suspension and freedom from mental activity. What touched me most was the honesty in his words. Even after years of such experiences, he still approached the mystery with humility and wonder instead of claiming certainty.

The discussion naturally led me to reflect on my own experiences. I realized that although spiritual experiences may appear similar outwardly, internally they can unfold in very different ways for different people. Some experience deep stillness as voidness and silence. Some experience it as expansion of energy. Some experience disappearance of thought. Some experience profound nonattachment afterward. In my own case, the experience unfolded through an intense state of unitive awareness that lasted only for a brief period but left a permanent existential impact on me.

There was a moment in my own spiritual journey when energy rose intensely toward Sahasrara and entered what I can only describe as a supreme existential state of Savikalpa Samadhi. The experience lasted for around ten seconds before I deliberately lowered the energy down toward Agya Chakra. Even today I sometimes reflect on why I interrupted the natural flow prematurely instead of allowing the process to continue on its own. Yet despite its short duration, the experience carried a certainty unlike anything in ordinary life. It did not feel like emotional happiness, imagination, trance or excitement. It felt existentially complete, as if consciousness itself had become fully fulfilled within its own nature.

What made the experience extraordinary was not merely bliss or energy but the disappearance of separation itself. Mental movement was absent, yet awareness remained fully alive. My eyes were open. The external world remained visible exactly as before, yet at the same time there was no distinction between myself and what was being perceived. Whatever appeared in perception felt inseparable from my own existence. There was no distance between observer and observed.

At the same time, the meditation image that existed within my mind also became completely connected to the same unified awareness. Normally human consciousness divides experience into separate compartments. One part is called “me,” another part is called “thought,” another part “meditation image,” and another part “external world.” But during that state all fragmentation disappeared together. The meditation image inside the mind, the external physical world visible through the eyes and the sense of self all existed as one indivisible field without separation.

This is why the experience did not feel like a blank void or unconsciousness. Awareness remained fully present. Perception remained active. The world did not disappear. Instead, division disappeared. There was no separate observer looking at reality from a distance. Observer, observed and the activity of observation merged into one seamless existence. The bliss felt ultimate not because of emotional intensity but because fragmentation itself had dissolved.

Reflecting on the reader’s comment helped me recognize how differently spiritual experiences can unfold while still pointing toward the same mystery. In his experience, spontaneous kumbhaka and disappearance of mind brought profound freedom and nonattachment. In my own experience, awareness remained open-eyed and externally perceptive while inner image, outer world and self-awareness merged into one field. Both experiences carried transformative power, yet each revealed consciousness through a different doorway.

Many spiritual traditions connected with Kundalini Yoga, Raja Yoga and Tantra speak about such states in different language. Some emphasize stillness of mind. Some emphasize breath suspension. Some emphasize nondual unity. Some describe bliss. Some describe voidness. But behind all descriptions there seems to be one common movement: the gradual dissolution of psychological separation.

Another important realization from this conversation was that profound spiritual experiences do not always instantly settle into permanent stabilization. Even after touching deep states, human consciousness may continue reflecting upon them, revisiting them and trying to understand their significance. This is natural. Sometimes the experience transforms a person immediately. Sometimes its meaning unfolds slowly over years. Sometimes one brief glimpse changes the entire direction of life without becoming a permanent state.

In my own case, even though the experience carried overwhelming certainty while it was happening, afterward a subtle lingering remained regarding why I deliberately interrupted the process. Yet this lingering was not the same as ordinary worldly dissatisfaction. Rather, it became part of the deeper inquiry itself. Once consciousness experiences a state where inner mind, external perception and self lose all separation, ordinary worldly experiences naturally stop appearing ultimate in the same way as before.

The reader’s comment also highlighted another beautiful truth. Many people silently undergo profound inner processes without public recognition, philosophical knowledge or spiritual labels. They may think something strange is happening to them without realizing that contemplative traditions have spoken about similar phenomena for centuries. Sometimes a single article, discussion or shared experience helps such people finally recognize that they are not alone in what they have experienced.

What remains most meaningful to me from this entire discussion is not the attempt to classify experiences into rigid categories but the recognition that consciousness has depths far beyond ordinary fragmented perception. Whether through spontaneous kumbhaka, silence of mind, nonattachment, energetic awakening or open-eyed unity, there are moments when the usual boundaries of self begin to dissolve. In those moments, existence no longer feels divided into inner and outer, self and world, observer and observed. There is only one seamless presence expressing itself through everything simultaneously.

Just as the physical world and the self can merge into one during an awakening glimpse, similarly the void and the self may also merge into one. In the spiritual and literary traditions, this ultimate state is often referred to as Nirvikalpa Samadhi. The difference may only be of level — one happening at a gross level and the other at a subtle level. It may be that gross merging acts as an initial demonstration that prepares one for subtle merger. It may also be possible that subtle merger can happen directly without first experiencing gross merger. It may further be that subtle merger becomes easier after gross merger because one becomes habituated to unity consciousness. It may also be that there is ultimately no difference at all, and that direct subtle merger can be just as easy as going through stages. These are all speculations and should be verified by someone fully realized, if any such person happens to read this blog. But one thing does seem clear: just as simple observation of the world is not sufficient and one has to become fully lost in it for complete merger, similarly a simple experience of the void may also not be sufficient. One may need to become fully lost in the void itself, through continued practice, for complete merger to occur. It also seems that the same spiritual and nondual way of living may be necessary for subtle void merger just as it is for gross merger with the visible world, because the principle behind both appears similar. The difference may only be that one happens at a gross visible level while the other unfolds at a subtle invisible level. This may be important to understand because after experiencing gross merger or awakening glimpses, a person can become egoistic, feel spiritually complete prematurely and slowly drift away from the spiritual lifestyle and inner discipline that originally made such experiences possible. If the principle of merger is truly the same at both levels, then continuity of humility, nondual awareness and spiritual living may remain essential even after profound awakening experiences.

Even if such moments last only seconds, their impact can remain for years because they reveal directly that the deepest bliss does not come from acquiring something outside oneself. It emerges when separation itself temporarily disappears and consciousness experiences its own indivisible nature directly.

Tantric Yoga, Meditation Image, and the Journey from Form to Void: A Complete Experiential Guide

The Role of Tantric Yoga in the Initial Form Phase of Meditation

In the initial phase of my journey, I observed something very clear and practical: Tantric Yoga plays a deeply supportive role when meditation is still rooted in form. At this stage, the meditation image is not just a visual object but a living presence. It expresses itself continuously, and this expression helps stabilize the practitioner. Instead of abruptly cutting off worldliness, the meditation image gently smooths it out. There is no violent detachment. Rather, knowledge and detachment begin to arise naturally while one remains internally connected to the image. The world does not disappear; it becomes secondary. The image becomes central.

This phase is important because it prevents imbalance. Without such anchoring, a sudden push toward detachment can create inner conflict. But here, through Tantric alignment, worldly impressions are not rejected—they are absorbed and refined. The meditation image acts like a filter, transforming scattered mental tendencies into a single-pointed flow. This makes the journey feel stable, meaningful, and even devotional in tone.

Transition into Depth: When the Meditation Image Becomes Self-Expressive

As depth increases, a subtle but powerful transition begins. The meditation image is no longer something that I am trying to hold. Instead, it starts expressing itself. This is not imagination anymore. It feels autonomous. It begins to hold awareness rather than being held by it. This shift marks the real entry into deeper meditation.

At this stage, something unexpected happened—creativity surged. Suddenly, there was a powerful rise in expression. I found myself writing tens of experiential books without effort. The flow was continuous, almost unstoppable. It did not feel like I was creating something new; rather, it felt like something was being revealed and simply recorded through me.

This explosion of creativity can be understood as a natural consequence of inner alignment. When mental noise reduces, emotional energy becomes stable, and awareness gains clarity, expression becomes effortless. Thoughts are no longer random. They come as structured insights. Symbolic perception becomes vivid. Words, metaphors, and ideas begin to flow with precision and depth.

However, this phase, though powerful, is not the final destination. It is an expression phase, not the dissolution phase. The clarity is real, but it still carries movement. There is still a subtle doing involved, even if it feels effortless.

The Formless Phase: From Expression to Dissolution

As the journey progresses further, the role of the meditation image changes again. It does not disappear immediately, but its function reverses. Instead of stabilizing awareness, it begins to dissolve into it. The image becomes thinner, lighter, almost transparent. It no longer feels like a solid presence. It becomes a doorway.

Here, I observed that the image does not help by remaining—it helps by disappearing. It exhausts itself into the void. This is a very subtle process. The image may still appear, but its purpose is no longer to hold attention. Instead, it pulls awareness inward, toward silence, toward absence.

This is where object-based meditation and objectless meditation begin to alternate. Sometimes there is form, sometimes there is no form. Sometimes there is an image, sometimes only pure awareness. This switching is not a problem. It is part of integration. It shows that the system is learning to function across both dimensions—form and formlessness.

At this stage, one important realization emerges: form and void are not two separate realities. The image itself is made of the same void it dissolves into. The journey is not from form to something else. It is from form to the recognition of its own emptiness.

Should Tantric Yoga Be Continued in All Phases?

From my experience, it feels natural to conclude that Tantric Yoga should always be continued, because it seems to help in every phase. Whether in form, transition, or formlessness, it appears useful. However, this understanding needs refinement.

Tantric Yoga should not always be continued as an effortful practice. In the beginning, effort is necessary. In the middle, it becomes powerful. But in later stages, the same effort can become interference. The essence of Tantra continues, but the doing aspect reduces.

In deeper states, practice becomes spontaneous. Techniques are no longer applied deliberately. The system begins to function on its own intelligence. The meditation image may arise or disappear naturally. Energy may move without conscious intervention. At this point, forcing practice can disturb the natural balance.

So the correct understanding is not that Tantra must always be done, but that its principle remains active while its form of practice evolves.

Does Energy Require Continuous Effort to Move?

A strong belief arises during the journey: just as a ball does not move without a push, energy will not move without practice. This is true in the early stages. When the system is dull or inactive, effort is required to initiate movement.

However, this analogy becomes limiting later. Energy is not an inert object. Once awakened, it behaves like a living current. It moves, adjusts, and balances itself. At that point, continuous pushing is not helpful. It creates turbulence instead of flow.

A better understanding is this: in the beginning, energy is like a stationary object that needs to be pushed. In the middle, it becomes like a flowing river that needs guidance. In the later stages, it is seen that the river flows on its own.

The role of practice changes accordingly. It is used when needed, not applied continuously out of fear.

The Fear of Stagnation Without Practice

Despite these insights, a fear can remain: if effort is reduced, energy might stagnate again like in earlier life. This fear is natural but based on confusion between two different states.

Earlier stagnation was unconscious. It was marked by dullness, distraction, and lack of awareness. The current stillness, however, is conscious. It is quiet but awake. It is not heavy. It does not carry ignorance.

The mind, conditioned by earlier experience, assumes that lack of effort equals lack of progress. But in deeper stages, lack of interference allows integration. Stillness is not regression. It is refinement.

The real risk is not doing too little, but doing too much when nothing is required. Over-effort can disturb natural intelligence and bring back unnecessary mental activity.

A Balanced Understanding of Practice and Stillness

The journey eventually reveals a simple but powerful principle. Practice is necessary when there is dullness, imbalance, or lack of clarity. But when awareness is already present and stable, it is better to remain with it without interference.

Energy does not stop moving just because effort stops. Once awakened, it continues in subtler ways. Awareness itself sustains the process.

Earlier, effort created movement. Now, awareness sustains it.

This shift marks maturity in the path. It is no longer about doing more but about knowing when to do and when to remain still. Tantra, in its highest form, is not something that is practiced continuously. It is something that becomes naturally present, expressing itself according to the need of the moment.

In this way, the journey moves from effort to effortlessness, from expression to silence, and from form to the recognition of the void that was always there.

Kundalini Yoga works like a gardener

Friends, the complete prakriti is the shadow of the entire universe. The complete prakriti is also called the original nature or mool prakriti. It is the original nature of the entire universe. The mool prakriti of the microcosm is called the Mooladhara. But the Mooladhara is a pure shadow. There is no information of any particular physical object hidden in it. It means it is a nothingness type of shadow. On the other hand, we are considering the information of the entire physical universe to be recorded in the mool prakriti. But there is no contradiction in it. In the mool prakriti, all the opposing information cancels out each other and becomes zero. The entire universe is balanced, it means it is neutral. There is as much negative as there is positive in it. In this way, both the mool prakriti and the Mooladhara are the same. It means that man can also experience the mool prakriti in the form of Mooladhara. Because the mool prakriti is the subtle form of the entire universe, it means that man can also experience the entire universe simultaneously in an indirect form, that is, in the form of Mooladhara.

There is a problem here. One can say that when all the information in the original nature vanished, how could darkness remain in it, because darkness means the presence of subtle information in it. Actually, the information did not vanish, but their total effect got cancelled out. All the information remained in it. It is like what happens when sugar and neem are added to halwa. Both these things will remain, but the halwa will neither taste sweet nor bitter to us. The same thing happens when a person reaches the Mooladhara. All the information is equal in it. That is why a uniform, non-stinging and blissful darkness is felt in it. Neither attachment to any information, nor hatred to any information. This is non-duality. That is why it is advised to live a non-dual and detached life. By this, a person reaches the Mooladhara quickly. But this happens only when along with non-duality, a full, diverse and opposing worldliness is also lived. By this, a person will collect all kinds of opposite information, which cancel each other out and make him enter the Mooladhara quickly. To me the practice of non-duality without opposing worldliness seems like a sham.

Then it is said that the Mooladhara can merge into the purusha through Kundalini awakening while developing. Then why does Moola Prakriti not merge into Purusha and disappear? Perhaps this is because Moola Prakriti has a real physical existence, which we call dark matter or dark energy etc. It is a scientific principle that a physical object can never end. It can only change its form, but it will remain forever. We call this the Theory of Conservation of Mass and Energy. An object can exist in the form of different types of objects or in the form of energy. All these forms can keep changing among themselves. But that object can never end. On the other hand, Mooladhar has no physical existence. It is the experience of a soul. That experience is even not true but illusory. Or you can say that it is just a virtual picture of Moola Prakriti created by the illusion of the soul. There is nothing real or physical in it. When the illusion ends after the soul gets wisdom, then the experience of Mooladhar becomes as the experience of Purusha. This is the true and real experience of soul. If Moola Prakriti was also just an experience and it had no physical existence, then it would have ended long ago, and the creation would not have existed. Then neither we nor you would have been there nor this colorful world. Many Vedantic people say that the mool prakriti does not exist. It is an illusion, etc. They are actually talking about the Mooladhara, which is a virtual mental picture of the mool prakriti. In physical form, the existence of the subtle mool prakriti is similar as that of the gross physical world. Humanity In Genesis 2:7 of Bible have been defined in the same way. There, we find God creating humanity in God’s image. God creates humanity in a way that is very different from the way God created the physical world.

Only the Mooladhara can be merged in the purusha through Kundalini Yoga, not the mool prakriti. First the worldly garbage accumulated on each chakra is taken out. Then the Kundalini picture is filled in the empty chakra-places. Only then it remains in meditation all the time and wakes up when the right opportunity comes. It is like a gardener on a barren land. He can bloom flowers only when he first cleans that place by removing the grass, straw, bushes, pebbles etc. A well nurtured and cared for flower plant will keep rising and growing and will someday blossom into the flower of awakening.

A physical object can neither be created nor destroyed, this scientific principle also explains the principle of Sankhya philosophy. According to this also, prakriti keeps changing its form. Sometimes it is expressed, sometimes unexpressed. But it always exists. Meaning it is eternal and infinite. Therefore it is not true that prakriti or the world originated from the purusha that’s God. Just like purusha, prakriti also has its own independent existence. This talk of prakriti being generated from the purusha is said for the picture of prakriti made inside the mind, that is for the individual or vyashti prakriti. The soul, that is the purusha himself takes the form of that prakriti picture. Meaning that the picture of prakriti originated from the purusha, not the real prakriti. When the soul becomes aware of its real purusha form, then it is as if that virtual picture of prakriti has again come in its real purusha form, meaning prakriti has merged in the purusha.

Kundalini Yoga transforms advanced cognition into basic cognition

Friends, man is an advanced creature. Advanced cognition is present in it. But one side effect of improved cognition is that it creates attachment, due to which the person becomes bound to it. It is like a life-saving medicine is the most helpful, but it also has the most side effects.

Basic cognition is present in all the cells of our body. Similarly, all the lowest and most microscopic organisms also have basic cognition. All of them adapt themselves according to their surrounding environment. To survive they follow a lifestyle similar to ours. Learn new things, and remember old things. But for this, no brain like structure has been seen in them yet. Meaning that they are controlled by a series of different and countless chemical reactions. So why not consider those chemical reactions as their brain. Our brain also runs on chemical reactions only. It is possible that even inanimate objects like stones and air may have a lower level of basic cognition than this, which science has not yet been able to understand. The flow of air is controlled by atmospheric pressure. So why not consider air pressure as the basic cognition of air. Similarly, every time air has a specific reaction at a particular air pressure. So why not consider it as the memory power of air pressure. With basic cognition there is no sense of good and bad. For example, due to low air pressure at a place, air entering there does not give a good experience to the air. Nor does the movement of air from there when there is high air pressure give a bad experience to the air. Similarly, a bacteria does not feel happy when it receives a particle of food and does not feel sad when faced with an enemy. Meaning that with basic cognition there is no attachment or hatred. At the same time, in higher cognition, that intermediate state of equality turns into attachment and hatred. Just like a neutron gets converted into a positive proton and a negative electron. When both are mixed, a neutral neutron is formed again. The plus and minus charges cannot be destroyed separately. These two will be destroyed only when they meet each other. Similarly, we cannot eliminate attachment and hatred by keeping them separate. If we keep attachment to passion and aversion, they will remain separate and grow stronger. When passion arises, hatred will also arise somewhere, because like electric charges, these also arise in pairs, not alone. Detachment is the process which connects positive passion and negative hatred and destroys both. Call positive Yang and negative Yin. Their union is the much talked about confluence, or Advaita.

The development of cognition is like a necessary evil. When man was only in the form of air, water or micro-organism, he had basic cognition. There was neither passion nor hatred in him. He was neutral. He was neither happy nor sad. But as cognition developed, he started experiencing good and bad. Due to this, happiness and sorrow arose in him. Life and death came into existence. Earlier he neither lived nor died. Perhaps this is the indescribable liberation which has been talked about in the Vedas. There was neither light nor darkness in it. Meaning there was no conflict in it. That situation can also be understood in such a way that in that situation all the conflicts were there together. A neutron contains both a proton and an electron, yet not both. Similarly it is said that everything is there in God and also not there.

Now the description of the universe in the Vedas which is similar to that of human society, and the description of various animate gods and demons etc. in it is exactly like that of the people of human society, actually seems to be an attempt to return towards basic cognition. Similarly, in Tantra based physiology philosophy aka Sharirvigyan darshan, the description of the body like the universe and human society is also an attempt to achieve the same primitive basic cognition. Both have the same theme, but the philosophy of physiology seems more contemporary and scientific. However, both methods work better when combined with each other. According to a previous post, Kundalini Yoga strengthens the philosophy of physiology. This means that Kundalini Yoga strengthens the basic i.e. pure cognition.

So will we accept the existence of only electrons and protons and not neutrons? Meaning, will we accept the existence of consciousness only in advanced organisms and not in lower organisms and inanimate substances? The meaning is clear that there is no such time, place and substance in the universe which does not have consciousness.

Kundalini Yoga transforms dark matter into dark energy

Friends, in the previous post it was being talked about that dark energy runs out to be free, and dark matter shrinks in to get bound. That’s why yoga should be done so that the portion of dark energy remains more in the mind, and the possibility of man’s liberation remains more, as darkness cannot be completely eradicated. Together, it is also concluded that the countless black holes of the universe are like the countless creatures of the earth. Just as there is a microcosm inside every living being, similarly there is a macrocosm inside every blackhole. Thus there are innumerable universes in the single and same infinite sky. As there are subtle universes of different sizes and types inside the brain of different living beings, similarly there are different sizes and types of physical universes inside different blackholes.
Bored of its darkness, the blackhole starts eating the bright bodies outside, so that the brightness inside it can increase. But after a momentary glow, those bodies increase its darkness by entering into its own darkness. If the blackhole does not get anything to eat for a long time, then it gradually merges with the original sky and becomes free, probably through emitting the microscopic Hawkins radiations.

The creature or man also behaves in the same way. He perceives the outside world through various senses to reduce the darkness of his mind. He perceives the world in the form of sight through the eyes, in the form of hearing through the ears, in the form of taste through the tongue, and in the form of sexual intercourse through the genitals. For a while he feels light with joy, but that world also works to increase his darkness by merging into the dense darkness of his inner self. It has been repeatedly said in the scriptures that the more a man tries to get materialistic happiness, the more he becomes unhappy. Sometimes he practices yoga by avoiding the temptation of worldliness. Due to this, the garbage of his mind keeps coming out, due to which he sometimes becomes quite clean and soon gets liberated.

Our universe may have formed inside a very large black hole inside another very large universe. As many blackholes as there are in our universe, there are universes of different sizes according to their own size and swallowed substances. The blackholes inside them also have separate universes. In this way, this tradition can go to very small black holes and microscopic universes, or it may be that this tradition does not end anywhere. But to become a black hole, the star must have a certain mass. It may be that in other universe that limit is more or smaller. The boundary of our universe is the boundary of the blackhole, outside which we cannot see because the ray of light that comes from outside does not come freely but comes from the attraction of gravity of the blackhole, so it can be in the form of such an invisible wave. Such thing has not been seen yet. Or it should not be in the form of wave but in the form of individual and virtual photon particles. The biggest reason seems to be distance. The limit of the universe is very far. By the time it reaches us from there, the light beam must have become so weak that it cannot be caught. Oppositely, it seems that we neither go out of blackhole nor can get anything from outside it, because it’s already infinite sky and infinity never ends. It also seems that the amount of matter in the universe is limited and determined. The same cycle keeps appearing and unmanifesting again and again. It may also happen that when the universe starts forming in the black hole, then it leaves or reduces its gravity, because then the universe is expanding outwards from the big bang. Even if gravity remains the same, its effect will not be visible, because the push of the big bang will also be felt outwards. This will probably happen when the dark matter of the black hole is converted into dark energy. This dark energy keeps pushing all matter and objects away from each other after the Big Bang, causing the universe to balloon. The same thing happens in humans too. When he is tired of worldliness, he engulfs the whole world in the darkness of his mind and sit calm. It remains like that way for some time. Then for some reason he turns to yoga. Yoga reduces the darkness of his mind, or it becomes light. He feels empty in his mind. Inspired by that, he again starts expanding the world of his mind. Perhaps due to Hawking radiation exiting from the blackhole or some other extraction, its dark matter becomes light and turns into dark energy. Then the Big Bang and the expansion of the universe starts inside it.

Man bears a great deal of resemblance to a blackhole. The more information a person is filled with, the bigger the blackhole it creates after his death. From him those informations then appear in the form of his reincarnation. I think that the dark matter that holds his old life together after death remains the same for some time. Then with the passage of time it turns into dark energy. It wants to increase his mental world again, but for that it is necessary to take birth in the body of some living being first. This can be called the creation of a new subtle universe. Going forward, he also builds another human life, by giving employment to someone, or by giving education to someone. One creates a new man in the form of his son. Meaning, he creates blackholes in the future as well, some man creates less number, and some more. That son will be called younger than him in terms of blackhole’s buried information. In a way, a micro universe from the black hole inside itself has a new black hole as a son or other progeny. He also takes that tradition forward. The information that is buried in the mind is the blackhole. Means the subconscious mind is the blackhole. It never sleeps. It keeps on eating all the information like a blackhole. Countless information is buried in it from the countless births of a man. And to say that blackholes are also not completely stationary, but like other celestial bodies, they seem to be moving in space. It means that due to their movement, the infinite space inside them also continues to move. But there should be no surprise in this, because when the living beings move, even at that time the infinite space inside them is moving.

Kundalini Yoga’s Sankalp Purush confirms the origin of the universe inside the blackhole

Even the crater of the infinite space became the same infinite space. How can it be called second infinity? The hole made in the sheet is also made of the same sheet, it cannot be called a second sheet. A limited sheet can make only a limited pit. Why can’t there be an infinite crater in the infinite sky? While a small mass of an object can make a small crater in the sky, an object of infinite mass can also make a crater of infinite size in an infinite sky. Because the size of the singularity formed by the collapse of the star is infinitely small, its mass is also infinitely large. That’s why it makes a pit of infinite size in space means blackhole. That’s why a blackhole is a crater. Meaning, of course, its origin is in the sky, but it is empty, that is, it is untouched by its creator’s composition.
How to consider the size of Om as infinite small. Infinite big size is zero sky. But the infinite small size is also zero sky. Virtual appearance can be different. Call former as super consciousness sky and later as super dark sky. Means a new sky was formed from a dead star. That is why the sky of the blackhole does not end, because the new infinite sky was formed due to the continuous shrinking of the star in it. But it is impossible to have more than one sky, that’s why it is not a separate infinite sky but there is a pit of infinite size in it. Om is probably the name and form of the indescribable sky. Because sound is a wave, which spreads everywhere in the sky like a light wave. It is a different matter that it cannot be detected everywhere. Anyway, the word or sound has been called the quality of the sky. Then why only Om sound has been given the form of sky. Perhaps because it is the most simple and basic. The word Om is made up of three letters A, U and M, which mean creation, sustenance and destruction respectively. The sky also does the same. It first creates the world within itself, maintains it for some time, and then dissolves into itself. Means Om is the name of the infinite sky. To be precise, perhaps an infinitesimal pit, because it is formed from the most fundamental thought. But a hole in the sky is not that simple. There is some secret hidden in it. Then, if God is the infinite sky, then the soul is an infinite dark hole in it. The crater in the empty sky will also be special, not ordinary. We cannot make a hole in the sky. Yes, there is a way, to show it like a pit through illusion or virtually. Then there will be infinite sky, and infinite pit in it, both together. The soul is such an illusion in the Supreme Soul, it not being the real one, as written in the scriptures. But if such an illusory pit is formed in the material sky also, then all matter and even light, confused, fall into it. Even in the pit like soul, the outside world keeps falling, of course in a subtle form. Various senses keep increasing the effect of the soul by collecting various information from outside. Of course blackholes can’t feel the illusions like souls as it’s non-living. Everyone falls towards the dark well, whether the well feels it or not. Now it is not known, what underlines that pit. May be, there is a virtual wave of the sky. Just like a sheet is made of thread, similarly the sky is also full of virtual threads or waves. Air, which is not as dense as the thread, fills the empty space in the pit of the sheet, so the ball placed on the sheet rolls towards its pit. Similarly, due to the weight of a heavy body, a hole is formed in the virtual fabric of the sky. In the empty space of that crater, a less dense virtual fabric than in the unbroken sky outside is woven. That’s why other small bodies around roll towards that pit, but it seems to us that the big body is pulling the small body towards itself with the force of gravity. It is like air flowing from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. The void sky is the only one, but due to virtual waves, a virtual pit is formed in it. This means that all the time virtual waves and particles in space exert pressure on objects. This has also been proved in the experiment of Casimir effect. Probably this pressure also pushes the bodies towards the pits made in the sky, which is called gravity.
Man is actually a special kind of sky. His body is just a machine to create that virtual sky, like a blackhole. Virtual waves are always being formed and disappearing in the sky, but no one, not even God, experiences them, just like the ocean does not feel its waves. The example of this ocean and its waves is found in many places in the scriptures. The brain also creates similar virtual waves in it, but it is felt by the virtual supreme soul, and in confusion forgets its full divine form and becomes the living soul. Think of it as an infinite crater in the sky like a blackhole.
It seems that the universe will not form again in the sky of the blackhole. Because that network of virtual waves is in the outer original space from which substances are made. But the mass of the star in the sky of the blackhole is also encoded, probably in the form of dark energy or dark matter whatever. It creates a new universe. Or in the sky of the blackhole, other and lighter types of virtual waves are created which make matter and the universe. Then sometime a blackhole will also form in that. Which will again create a new universe. Don’t know where this series will stop. However, with Kundalini Yoga, the cycle stops soon. The word Sankalp Purush is written in many places in Yogavasishtha. Perhaps it is said of man that is a man of the mind of Brahma, not a real man, but a dream. Similarly, when a man meditates on a deity, guru, lover etc., he or it becomes his resolution man. But whether that dream-man feels his separate existence like us, it is worth considering. Many civilizations believe that as long as an ancestor is remembered by his descendants and worshiped through religious ceremonies such as Shraddha, he resides in heaven. An excellent animation film named Coco has also been made on this. This means that we cannot create a new existence by meditation, but if we meditate on the pre-created existence, it gets nourishment from it. Then it can also happen that a Yogi of a high order can create a new human being with his mind like Brahma. There are many such stories in the scriptures. A sage had created the desired worldly furnishings and natural scenery for his post-marriage romantic touring with his yogic power. It’s just like a black hole creates another universe exactly like its progenitor universe. If the Sankalp Purush of the scriptures is possible, then the origin of the universe is also possible inside the blackhole.
A black hole is a crater because it is devoid of the virtual waves of the original sky, which means it is empty. Meaning, of course, its origin is still inside the sky, but it is empty, that is, it is untouched by its creator. Although, parent sky’s virtual waves are still there at their original place but a new space has also been formed overlaid over it but devoid of the effect of parent sky’s virtual waves. How can it be. Simply said, it is only one and one space, but its countless forms are there at the same time wrt virtual waves. Amazing stuff. I was also telling in a previous post that there can be innumerable universes at one place in the same infinite sky. Probably the virtual waves of all of them remain unaffected by each other. The same happens in case of soul to. There are innumerable number of souls or individual infinite spaces in the same single infinite space not noticing or affecting each other’s virtual and subtle creations or subtle universes in the form of thoughts. In the case of living beings, the virtual waves of all living beings are the similar, yet they are out of reach of each other, perhaps it is the same in the case of gross universes too, that means the virtual waves in all are similar, but one universe is Completely unaffected and disconnected from all other universes at the same place. Everything in the departed soul resides in subtle means unmanifested form, hence there is darkness in it. That’s why there is darkness in blackholes as well. Probably, this dark feel is the dark energy, not any physical stuff, that’s why it appears to have been the so called smallest physical entity or singularity or Om. It would be better to say dark matter, because it has mass, which has the force of gravity. I think both are the same thing, sometimes it behaves as energy, sometimes as matter, just as the darkness of a man’s mind sometimes appears calm, light and blissful, and sometimes dense, heavy and sad. With the first type of darkness man tries to run away from the world by turning towards yoga etc., but with the second type of darkness he attracts worldliness towards himself. The special feature of yoga is that it tries to lighten the dark matter and convert it into dark energy. This is similar to how dark energy has the property of repelling, but dark matter has the property of attracting. We find a description of this in the scriptures when someone asks a sage that how is the creation after the holocaust, the sage says that there is such a dense darkness that if one wishes, it can be filled in a fist. This is talking about dark matter, because only matter can be filled in a fist, not an empty sky. I think that of course it is not ordinary matter but it feels solid like it, just as quantum particles are actually wave forms not matter, but also behave like matter.

Happy chandrayaan-3 launch

Kundalini Yoga practice will make our universe liberated one day

Friends, in the previous post, we were talking about how a man has to go against the course of nature for salvation. Nature developed life only by taking the support of lies, which has reached almost the highest development of man today. But now there is a need to stop this false flow of nature, there is a need to expose the lie of nature i.e. illusion, there is a need to take support of the truth. It would be better if everyone does this together, because everyone needs liberation. This is possible only through witnessing or Vipassana, which is most effective during yoga. In this post we will explain the salvation of man with the help of salvation of blackhole. No one says anything about man, why there are as many space or universe as there are men. Only physical spaces are being searched. Every man is an infinite space, a universe of his own kind. Are not all the many creatures as many pits or blackholes in the same infinite sky. A new infinite space is formed from a blackhole. The original space remains the same. There is no shortage in that. Science says that space is infinitely warped by a blackhole, meaning that the crater of space never ends. That’s why the light that has gone into it never turns back. It goes on and on in that new direction. There is no reduction in the original space, because it is like an infinitely wide three-dimensional sheet. The same is also said in the scriptures about the soul that it is infinite and complete, the God from whom it emanates is also infinite and complete, yet there is no reduction in the original infinite. This is a mantra,”Om purnamadh purnamidam…..” , which was also written in an earlier post. People say where do so many souls come from, where do they go etc. It is a similar question that where do so many black holes come from and where do they go. Both are infinite and identical. Once a soul starts its journey after leaving the Supreme Soul, it keeps on gathering information within itself. Where does the initial cratering information come from in the Chidakash, such that the mass of the star forms the crater of the blackhole. Will explain this later. Science also says that information is never destroyed, it sometimes appears and sometimes becomes invisible. In this way the soul remains trapped in the web of information, and keeps on taking birth and dying again and again. In the end, sometimes it merges its mind-like information with the supreme divine through yoga etc., and it becomes free. In that case too information does not get destroyed, but gets united with the divine. By being destroyed, it keeps on being born again and again in the same plus developed form. The meaning is clear that after death a man is born again, but the yogi who does not die, because he merges his mind with the divine through yoga before the body is destroyed, does not take birth again. The original space of all, which survives even when everything is finished, is God.

The same happens with stars. Due to its destruction, its information ie. its material is not destroyed, but it gets encoded in the form of blackhole in a subtle form. The other information that gets absorbed inside it due to gravity also gets encoded. Those inputs reappear as another star or universe is born inside the blackhole. Sometimes they disappear again, and then they reappear. This cycle continues. Sometime it must have happened, when those informations get merged in the Supreme Soul i.e. Original or Parent infinite sky, without getting destroyed. That may be called the liberation of the star. So far scientists have probably not found anything like this, because they have so far believed that information never gets destroyed. They are also fine because information did not get destroyed even in the end, but merged with the original space. But maybe it is not known that that information will never come back from the original space again, other new information will surely keep coming. But human psychological theory of liberation says that information can sometimes be completely destroyed. Without a separate symbol or encoding inside ultimate as super microform, it is not the destruction of the information, but the non-revealing of the information in separate form, from where it appears again in the microform and then macroform. This means that someday all the information in this universe will be ultimately destroyed or liberated. Then a completely new universe will be created, in which all the information will be new, because there’s no encoding of previous creation’s information anywhere. Now don’t know in what form this new form will be. Meaning that the universe can be of countless types and forms. Means as laws of conservation of mass and energy are obeyed in closed system, the same is obeyed in open system of infinite space too. Means countless mass and energy in the form of countless worlds can emerge from space with nowhere origin because space itself is infinite form of mass and energy, infinite coming out of infinite and going to infinite, in this way too everything is conserved. Means the universe will also do Kundalini Yoga someday, and will be liberated. Means such a time will come when the universe will not be encoded in the blackhole, instead will completely merge in the great space, which means the liberation of the universe or Brahma. It is also said in the scriptures that even Brahma has a certain age limit, after which he becomes liberated, he does not die. But I did not read in the scriptures that Brahma also takes birth and dies again and again like a common man. Climbing the stairs of self-development, even an ant can become Brahma. Perhaps the birth and death of Brahma is not shown because he is not bound to the universe like an ordinary living being is to his body. Brahma is always liberated. The liberation of the universe itself has been called symbolic liberation of Brahma. It may also be that Brahma is associated with the universe by a very crude bond. When the universe is encoded, that Brahma becomes liberated, and the new upgraded Brahma joins the encoded universe to become expressed in gross form later on with it. Anyway, the universe that is formed inside the blackhole will be smaller than the original universe. This means that its stars will also get smaller and smaller. Such a generation of blackholes will come, in which the stars of the universe inside will become so small that they will not be able to make blackholes. Then, instead of being encoded, the universe will merge into the original sky, which means it will be liberated. In a way, it can be understood that the universe continuously removed the garbage of information from inside itself by the practice of Kundalini Yoga. At one stage its garbage was reduced to such an extent that it could not take birth again from it, but simply became liberated. Meaning that as a man is freed with yoga practice, so is the universe. Anyway, the stars which are less than a certain mass, they cannot form blackholes so they merge directly into the sky, which means they become free. According to the scriptures, King Khatwang attained liberation within two and a half gharis or one hour when he came to know that he would die within this time. No one can dump all the garbage of the mind in this much short period. Yes, it can definitely be reduced to such a low level that there is no bondage. Consider King Khatwang as a large mass star. By colliding with some other body, etc., he reduced his mass below that limit, which is necessary to make a black hole. You can consider that confrontation as any energy-rich intense meditation.  That’s why one should keep doing yoga, whether one gets awakening or not. Lord Krishna has also given the most importance to Yoga and has told Arjuna that O Arjuna, you become a Yogi. Because human psychological theory says that when the mind of man or mental garbage or simply ego reaches below a certain limit, then it will definitely be liberated, as we told about the case with a star as well. If only awakening was necessary for liberation, then there would have been upheaval in the world. The liberation of so few people would have likely stopped the life flow of so many souls.

Kundalini Yoga have Kapalbhati Pranayama as a main component

Inhale and exhale alternately through the left and right nostrils, so that the Kundalini energy continues to circulate in the Ida and Pingala nadis on both sides, and gradually rises up in the middle Sushumna nadi. Kites also fly like this. When the string is loosened, sometimes it spreads in the sky on the left side due to the slap of the flowing wind, and then when pulled, it climbs straight up. Sometimes due to wind blowing in the opposite direction, it spreads in the sky on the right side, and then when pulled, it rises straight up. By swinging both the sides, it remains straight above the man’s head even after reaching a great height. This straightness is equivalent to Sushumna Nadi. Even at the time of Kundalini Yoga, when there is a lack of prana in the left side of the body, and the body is left loose, the Kundalini starts flowing in the left side of the body i.e. Ida Nadi. Similarly, when there is a lack of prana in the right side of the body, the Kundalini is felt to flow in the right side i.e. Pingala Nadi. It seems as if there is a energizing movement that’s blissful, I do not feel the pulse like a thin wire with any current. It may be impractical book talk or realized in high level practice. I feel a lot of power just from its simple experience. Even in the sky, the wind blows towards that part, in which the pressure of the air decreases, that means the life force decreases, because air is the life force. It is natural from this that Kundalini or mind or kite moves in the same direction with the flow of prana or wind. Then when the wind or Prana increases there, it runs back a little in the opposite direction, along with which the kite or Kundalini also flows, and suppose it comes directly above the head or in Sushumna. Stopping there for a moment, the Vayu or Prana reaches the right sky or Pingala, along with which the kite or Kundalini is also there. From there the journey on the left side starts again. This kind of pendulum-like oscillation of the Kundalini-like mind or kite goes on, and it keeps rising up in the Sushumna or in the sky.

When the kite rises very high, then it is brought down by pulling on the string. Similarly, when the Kundalini rises high enough to cause pressure, fatigue, and headache in the brain, then the exhalation starts moving with jerks. This happens in Kapalbhati Pranayama, where the outgoing breath moves with jerks and pressure, but the incoming breath moves so quietly and slowly that it is not detected. Due to this, there is more awareness on the exhalation. Along with this, the muscles of the body also push down. Due to both these things, the Kundalini energy descends down the front channel, due to which the pressure in the brain decreases and the person gets refreshed and ready for mental work again. Kapalbhati produces miraculous effects. That’s why only this kind of breathing is done during work pressure and lack of time, it gives a lot of benefits. Let us tell one thing here that the mind-kite does not stay down permanently, it then rises up through the back channel. It keeps on rotating up and down. It is like if a kite is given a slight pull or tunka or jerk, it rises higher. Breaths are actually the strings of the mind, as it is often said that the string of breaths of so-and-so has been drawn long means someone survived, or the string of breaths broken means someone has died. In Shrimad Bhagwat Gita, when Arjuna says to Shri Krishna that Lord, it is very difficult to control the mind, even more difficult than controlling the wind, then Lord Krishna says that O Kaunteya, the mind is controlled by practice, Especially through the practice of Pranayama.

While taking a bath with cold water, the breath starts moving out rapidly and with jerks. Most of the time the mouth is also completely open, through which the breath comes out like a bellows. Due to this the pressure of the brain comes down, which prevents headache. Probably the risk of brain hemorrhage also decreases. This increases the ability to withstand cold water and it starts to feel pleasant. Similarly, almost the same thing happens with Vajrasana after eating food. With this, the power of the brain descends to the digestive organs, due to which digestion is cured. This style of breath is Kapalbhati only.

Kundalini yoga shows the DNA as subtle body and the dark energy or dark matter

subtle body is made up of five sense organs, five action senses, five pranas, one mind and one intellect.

It is the subtle body that goes to the other world, not the gross body made of flesh. One can say that when the gross body is destroyed, then how can these senses, life force etc. remain, because all these are the dependents of the gross body. This is the trick. You can also call it the art of describing in writing. If the author wanted, he could have written directly that the body and all its activities get recorded in its subtle body. But this description would not have been attractive and easy to understand. Because the body and all its activities are dependent on its mind, intellect, knowledge based sense organs, action based sense organs, and the five pranas, so it is said that the subtle body is made up of these five types of things. I didn’t have such an experience. I did not feel these things separately in the astral body, but felt one undivided darkness in which the impression of all these things was felt. The meaning is clear that the subtle body perceives through its soul only, decides through the soul, works through the soul, receives the experiences of all the senses through the soul, and performs all the activities of daily life through the soul. Means all the past lives of the Jiva are fully recorded in the subtle body, which he continues to experience in himself as self.  In a way, it is a combined average form of all the previous births. Many people would think that the subtle body would be a mind without a body, in which waves of thoughts would keep rising in the empty space, but then what was the difference between the gross and the subtle body. Anyway, the existence of the gross mind is not possible without the support of the gross body. For example, consider the diamond in your ring as a subtle body. All the information from its birth is recorded in it. Once upon a time it was pure energy. With the creation of the universe, it became a tree on earth. Then, due to earthquakes etc., coal was formed by tree being buried hundreds of kilometers below the earth. Then stone coal was made. For millions of years it has withstood extreme temperatures and pressures. There were many changes in this. It performed innumerable actions and reactions. It took countless years. Then it was dug out. Then carved. Then you bought it and put it on your ring. All these information are recorded in this diamond. Although we do not get to know these information in gross form by looking at the diamond, but we do experience those information in subtle form, only then we find diamond very beautiful, attractive and precious. Similarly, from the experience of someone’s subtle body, the whole past details of it are not known in the gross form, but it is experienced in the subtle form, by experiencing its average nature. In the Gita, Maha Yogi Sri Krishna says that he knows all the previous births of Arjuna. It does not mean that he was feeling all the scenes in his mind like tv screen, rather it means that he was feeling the essence of them all in the form of his subtle body. The style of the scriptures is such that they often do not analyze the facts completely and leave them in a miraculous or mystic form, so that the reader becomes bewildered. These experiences are subtler than experiences from the gross body, although it seems to us, instead to the subtle body, they may seem as powerful as the gross experience, because in that state there is no interference from the noise of thoughts of the living state, which cloud the experiences. In addition, the experiences of all past lives remain in the soul all the time in a subtle form, while in the gross body it remains buried in the noise of gross thoughts. Yes, it cannot take new experiences, because for this the physical body is necessary. That’s why there is no further development of it. It has to take birth as a gross body for further development. To me, the subtle body seems to record all the information of the organism like DNA. Similarly, to me dark energy or dark matter also seems to be the eternal DNA of the gross universe.

The equivalence of dark energy and the subtle body can be proved only if we do not divide subtle body into compartments and consider it as a single dark sky in which all the information of its gross form is recorded in the form of subtle form as waveless or unchanging experiences in self-sky. Please don’t mistake this as complete self-realization i.e. self-knowledge. This is the highest level of self-experience, which is of a single kind, and in which no information is recorded i.e. it’s the pure self-form, while the subtle-body as self-experience is of a very mild degree, and contain many hidden information. According to the experiences attained in the gross body state there are innumerable types or levels of subtle bodies. Hence only in this undivided encoded form, subtle body will be fully like dark matter or black hole as described earlier according to famous verse “Yatpinde tat brahmande“.
