Yoga and Its Misconceptions

      Yoga that looks commercial is absolutely spiritual. Foreigners who earn money as well as stress much are the victims of so-called yogis of the modern world. The true meaning of yoga is 'to move from ordinary mundane life to a higher state of life that is spiritual and perfect.' It emerges from the word 'yoke' that means 'to get united.' The practice that facilitates the human soul to get united with God is the real yoga that the ancient indian sages followed.

     Attaining a thoughtless state of mind is the ultimate aim of yoga. Mind generally functions in any one of the four cycles - Beta wave (14 to 40 cycles/second), Alpha Wave (8 to 13 c/s), Deeta wave (4 to 7) and Delta Wave (1 to 4). Most of the people have beta wave only, that is, emotional state of mind. The more the cycles the more their emotions are. But a person who starts practising yoga, that is, getting initiation, touches the alpha wave and moves up to 8 cycles depending upon the efforts he takes to concentrate on the pituitary and pineal gland. It is a peaceful state that takes all stress from the mind immediately.

     Deeta wave and delta wave are gained at the loss of body consciousness. When the yogi moves away from this earth and goes beyond the universe mentally, he forgets his body and even the universe with all its billions of galaxy looks a small dust in front of him. All his illusions that he inherited being a well-frog vanish now. He identifies himself with the universe and realises his eternal existence.

To realise God and mingle with Him is the ultimate aim of birth for which yoga empowers one. The supreme power that is the route cause of the existence and function of the universe realized by the yogi. He witnesses that supreme power being all and in all.

     Attaining the everlasting state of spiritual bliss is the outcome of true yoga and getting relieved from stress is only a byproduct. Leading the mundane life with a lot of attachment to this world and just practising yoga for reducing the stress and to grow financially and industrially cannot be called as a true yoga practice. Yoga is not a product for sales or a boost to increase your sales. A man who is emotional is so weak in body and mind but a man who is peaceful is so strong in body and mind. In short, peace is the key to open treasures of the spiritual world.

You Are Not What You Are

You are not the balloon but the air filled within.  You are in as well as out.  When the balloon bursts, the air does not die.  When the body perishes, our aathma (soul) does not die.  Don't think you are the body.  Don't say you are in the body.  Realize you are in the body as well. You are in the body, outside the body in the universe, outside the universe everywhere.

Since you are formless, you are neither beautiful nor ugly, neither tall nor short, neither fat, nor lean, nor strong, weak, young ,aged and the like.  You are formless, so you are deathless requiring no insurance policy for you.  You are birth-less and you have no parents or grandparents or great grandparents and the like.  Weapons can kill your body only not you who are everywhere.

You can neither be richer than others.  You cannot be poorer than others as well.  Because you are the only one existing in the world because there cannot be two formless things.  One that is formless will be endless and infinite and can be only one that is you.  Why do you compare yourself with others when there is no one except you.  Know you are not what you are and what you think you are.

  

Of Life-force, Old Age and Death

Life Force:

     A group of trillions of fundamental, self-rotating energy particles in the body is called life-force.  Certain numbers of energy particles leave our body constantly due to the repulsive force of the Earth.  However the sexual vital fluid (svf) that is produced at the brain and comes to the center of the body after puberty retains sufficient number of energy particles in the body with its attractive force.  Our health and youth are depending on the bio-magnetism which is produced by life-force (energy particles) whose density relies on the amount of svf located at the center of the body.  Hence, the density of the life-force will vary in different ages due to various factors.  Sperms in men and steroid hormone in women are collectively termed here as svf.  This svf exits our body 

(i) sometimes involuntarily during sleep.

(ii)  voluntarily through sexual intercourse

(iii) voluntarily through masturbation

(iv) naturally at the time of death

     Life is maintained by this life-force and the bio-magnetism produced by it.  The food we take reaches several processes and at last becomes our body.  First it becomes chemical juice, then blood, flesh, cholesterol, bones, majai, and at last sexual vital fluid.  .  Thus food is the source of sexual vital fluid that is the source of life-force that is the source of bio-magnetism that is the source of our youth, immunity power, the energy to operate our body organs, sensual experiences and the functioning of our mind. 

Old Age:

    The production of svf is not at the same quantity in all ages.  It decreases after 40 years and ceases at 60 generally.  Bio-magnetism produced by life-force eventually decreases.  Our body cells which are intact and energetic because of this bio-magnetism suffer a lot and lead to shrinks in the skins.  The weakness of nerves also gives rise to hanging of flesh -what we call as old age knocks at our door now.

Death:

     Pain is the initial signal of the short-circuit in our body.  Incurable diseases exhaust the bio-magnetism in our body whereas accident takes away great amount of bio-magnetism in no time.  Consequently short-circuit in svf results in the total quit of svf from the body.  Life-force which is a dependent of svf also quits the body.  Bio-magnetism which is a dependent of life-force also gets away.  Death occurs.  Body and mind stop functioning.  The decomposition starts.

     Soul and life-force are entirely different.  The former refers to the imprints of our experiences and actions passing from generation to generation through hereditary whereas the later is a group of self-rotating energy particles which we call 'akash' in the universe, one of the five elements constituting nature. The exercise to retain life-force in the body and maintain youth is called 'kayakalpa' in yoga.  To learn kayakalpa and know more about life-force and bio-magnetism, contact World Community Service Center, Chennai, India or make a call to Temple of Consciousness, Aliyar or anywhere in the world (www.vethathiriyam.org) 

      

Meditation and knowledge

When we meditate on a particular thing, the following process takes place:
1.  We gather knowledge about it.
2.  We receive its nature and make it our own.
3.  The secrets behind it are revealed to our knowledge.
4.  We are capable of bringing it under our control or use.
5.  Peaceful mind leads to less consumption of energy.
6.  We learn its origin and end.
7.  Our concentration increases.

Three Factors for Lasting Memory

1.  Rethinking of the same and making recurring impression

2.  Knowledge & experience received with concentrated and

     willing mind.

3.  Incidents with deep impact.

What we think again and again gets lasting memory in us naturally.  Whatever we do with involvement, interest, love and concentration leads to lasting memory.  We need not take any efforts, they get recorded deeply.  Some unforgettable incidents such as death, love failure, disappointment and loss of our close relations leave deep impressions in our memory.
