Eternal Keval Kumbhak vs Eternal Nirvikalpa Samadhi: Which Is Closer to God?

Perfect. Here’s a fully text-based poetic-style blog post that captures the contrast between Eternal Keval Kumbhak and Eternal Nirvikalpa Samadhi, without using any charts — entirely suitable for WordPress:

🕉️ Eternal Keval Kumbhak vs Eternal Nirvikalpa Samadhi: Which Is Closer to God?

In the deepest folds of yoga and mysticism, seekers often ask:

Is God in eternal Keval Kumbhak — breathless, still, yet vibrantly alive?
Or is He in eternal Nirvikalpa Samadhi — formless, thoughtless, pure being beyond all dualities?

Let us explore this with inner reverence and clarity.

🌬️ Keval Kumbhak – The Breathless God

Keval Kumbhak is the spontaneous, effortless retention of breath — not forced, not practiced, but arising naturally when prana and apana merge, when duality ends in the body.

In this state:

  • Breath is utterly still.
  • Yet the being is fully alive, aware, and undisturbed.
  • No inhalation, no exhalation — just an eternal pause.
  • The body is like a flame that doesn’t flicker.
  • Consciousness watches in silence, as if holding the entire universe in its womb.

When a yogi experiences Keval Kumbhak, even for moments, it feels divine — as though the body has turned to sky, and the soul floats in a still ocean of life.

To imagine God in eternal Keval Kumbhak is to see Him as the supreme yogi — alive, breathless, still, watching all creation without moving a single atom within Himself.

🧘‍♂️ Nirvikalpa Samadhi – The Formless God

But deeper than breath, deeper than body, deeper even than witnessing silence — is Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

In this state:

  • There is no mind, no breath, no body-awareness.
  • There is no observer or observed.
  • Thought vanishes. Even the sense of “I am” dissolves.
  • No God, no world — just pure being, limitless, indivisible.

This is not a state that comes and goes. It is the true nature of existence, of Self, of God — beyond the idea of God.

To speak of God as being in eternal Nirvikalpa Samadhi is to say:

He is not “in” a state — He is the foundationless Reality,
before the first breath, before time, before space.
He does not breathe, think, move — He simply Is.

🕊️ So Which Is Closer to the Truth?

Both images are true — from different lenses.

  • Eternal Keval Kumbhak is God as the silent, breathless, cosmic yogi, holding the universe in still awareness — beautiful, relatable, alive.
  • Eternal Nirvikalpa Samadhi is God as the absolute Self, beyond all movement, even breathlessness — infinite, silent, unknowable.

If you seek relationship, devotion, or a form of living stillness, Keval Kumbhak paints a divine picture of God.

If you seek nonduality, liberation, or truth beyond all ideas, Nirvikalpa Samadhi is the ultimate doorway — and the place beyond all doorways.

✨ A Closing Reflection

God doesn’t breathe — because He is the source of breath.
God doesn’t think — because He is the witness before thought.
God doesn’t meditate — because He is the end of meditation.

You may call Him the breathless one — or the formless one.
You may find Him in stillness — or lose yourself in His silence.

Both are true.
Both are holy.
Both lead home.

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 is also a wave

Friends, in the previous post I was telling through a thought-experiment how gravity will swallow all things at the end of creation. Some Scientists are also making a similar guess, which has been named Big Crunch.

Along with this, there was also talk about the wave nature of the fundamental particles. In the case of physical waves like wind, water etc. it is seen that crest and trough cannot form simultaneously. When water rises above the surface to form a crest, it cannot sink below the surface as a trough at the same location at the same time. But this can happen in the case of a sky wave, because it is virtual, and does not require any physical object or medium. That’s why the three dimensional fundamental wave looks and behaves like a fundamental particle, as illustrated in the previous post. The wave in the form of particles keeps moving forward making such three dimensional crest and trough, because prakriti and Purusha are present everywhere, and the race from prakriti to Purusha goes on everywhere. That is why fundamental particles appear together in many places. The next trough is formed from the previous crest, and the next crest from the previous trough, because nature loves symmetry. In this way, in the form of countless waves, countless subtle loops are formed in space. Means the whole sky seems to be divided into loops. Quantum loop theory also says that space is not flat but divided into the smallest pieces. There cannot be smaller pieces than that. But if it is seen from the principle, then everything will definitely become the smallest after breaking. It is nothing but the empty sky without attributes. What has been called the quantum loop of space is not actually the natural form of void space, but a virtual fundamental particle in space. This gives the answer to all these things that why wave behaves like a particle, how standing wave and propagating wave are formed etc. Any wave is actually a form of meditation. Ida, Pingala and Sushumna nadis move in wave form only. Actually nothing moves in a wave, the thing making the wave just comes back to its original place by vibrating back and forth or up and down. Only the wave moves forward. Anyway there is nothing in the space like zero to appear. So the only option left is wave. Even there is nothing to tremble at its place to make a space wave. That’s why vibrations are shown only in falsehood. Don’t know how. Light, which is considered to be God or devata, moves only in the form of waves. So is Agni.

The movement of the nadi is also in the form of a wave

Sensation in the nadi moves forward in the form of waves. The sodium-potassium pump works in this. Sodium and potassium ions keep coming in and out of the nerve fibre wall at their own place, and the wave of sensation continues to move forward.

wave carries information

If a pebble is thrown somewhere in the pond, a wave is created on its water and spreads everywhere. Due to this, aquatic animals become alert from the possible danger. By walking on the ground, a wave is created on it, by which animals like snakes become alert or run away. Everyone knows about the transmission of information in the form of sound waves through the air. From Mooladhara, the wave of sensation goes to Sahasrara, due to which Sahasrara becomes alert i.e. active. The alert is from the enemy as passing time, which always stands in front of the man in the form of inevitable death early or late. Hence Sahasrara strives for awakening or spiritual lifestyle in the form of worldly experiences with Advaita. Actually worldly goals too are achieved with the healthy Sahasrar because it’s the site of feeling.

The soul feels the virtual world inside itself with the help of electromagnetic waves

The movement of charged particles in the nadi creates an electromagnetic wave in the surrounding sky. That wave is felt virtually dividing the self-sky of Sahasrar in to varying patterns according to the em waves being made through varying physical experiences brought about by senses. That is why it is said that the place of the soul is Sahasrar. It is surprising that innumerable virtual artifacts are created in the sky by electromagnetic waves at innumerable places, but they are felt by the soul only in the Sahasrara of the brain of the living being. If we get the correct information about its structure and its functioning, then it is possible that science will also be able to create an artificial organism and artificial brain.
