Yoga is the most prestigious field of spiritualism. People think about
6 wheels (Chakras) or lotus flowers present in the spinal card, which
are not seen by the eyes. They are imaginary and so they carry some
inner meaning. When you say a face as a moon, fools search for moon in
that face. But, wise people see similarity in the face and moon.
Similarly, wheels and lotus flowers should not be searched in the
spinal card. Spinal card is the main nerve, representing mind, which is
the base of love.
All these wheels or lotus flowers are the bonds of love in the various
relatives like parents, wife or husband, children etc. They are
compared to wheels or the revolving whirlpools in the ocean, which
attract a swimmer and drown him. Similarly, these love wheels are
compared to lotus flowers, since the lotus flowers attract the bee by
sweet fragrance and bind it. Similarly, these love flowers attract any
one and bind them. "Kundalini" is the mind which is the energy
travelling as waves like a serpent, should cross all these love wheels
connected to 7th lotus flower in the head called "Sahasrara", which
is Buddhi or intelligence that takes the decision, which is the firm
love on God.
Bhagavat Gita is called as the main scripture of Yoga (Yoga-Sastra).
Why there is not even single reference to these wheels or lotus flowers
in anywhere in Gita or even in Upanishats? Since they are not real,
they are not even mentioned. The author of the Gita was Krishna, who
was called Master of Yoga (Yogeswara). Krishna also says that the real
yoga was lost since long (Sa kaleneha mahata....). This means that in
the beginning, Sages in India knew the real yoga and loved God only
crossing all their family bonds. In due course of time only, this true
yoga was lost. Why? The middle age Indians were unable to cross their
family bonds and so failed to succeed in Yoga.
They wanted to cover their in ability by twisting the very concept of
yoga. The family bonds were removed from the concept and only wheels or
lotus flowers are left fixed. Now, they close the eyes and say that
they have seen the lotus flowers or wheels, which are only imaginary.
Now they cross these wheels by their imaginary "Kundalini" and say
that they have succeeded in Yoga. These blind teachers are also not to
be blamed, because they were trained like that by their blind teachers.
This misinterpretation was done long time back and hence, even at the
time of Krishna, He told that yoga was lost since a long time.
We cannot catch those original culprits, who were the top most twisting
masters and so the present tradition also cannot be blamed. Only
rectification is the way left over. Some say that they see light, which
is only an imagination. After all, the mind is a form of energy and on
its concentration imaginary light can be imagined. Instead of such a
week light, you better see a strong light with your open eyes. What is
the use of these imaginary lights and colours, without achieving the
Lord through your love, which excels the various worldly, loves.
I pity the foreigners, who are trapped in this false imaginary line of
yoga, who are wasting their precious lifetime and energy. In fact, they
are the best to succeed in yoga, if the reality of the yoga is exposed.
Their family bonds are very weak and their love towards God is real,
which is proved by their huge sacrifice of money to God's work. Money
is the fruit of work and its sacrifice for God's work is "Karma
phala tyaga" as mentioned in Gita. Again, the middle age Indians
twisted this word "Karma phala tyaga" as sacrifice of the fruit of
the work like praying God instead of sacrifice of money.
The reason was that these Indians were unable to sacrifice money to God
due to their strong love on their children. Foreigners ask their
children to earn after certain age. Indians store money even for ten
generations and still continue to store only. Since prayers, meditation
and knowledge are very much diverted to God, India was blessed by God
with good language, good mind and good knowledge.
Since foreigners are good in sacrifice, God blessed them with good
wealth. Even Indian spiritual centres were strongly funded by
foreigners only. Swami Vivekananda cried, "Why my India suffers with
poverty in spite of so much spiritual knowledge?" Sacrifice of money
(Karma phala tyaga) and sacrifice of work (karma Sanyasa) put together
constitute the God's service, which is the real Yoga (real proof of
love) called "Karma yoga" in Gita. Foreigners are the best in this
karma yoga and so they easily succeed in yoga. Throughout Gita, this
karma yoga was explained as yoga and wheels or lotus flowers are not at
all mentioned.
