enjoy reality (3)

yoga is but mind science
not medicine

By Kulamarva Balakrishna

Vienna,Monday,January 7,2008:Yesterday,commencing
the yoga shastra elaboration,I said that reality is finite.
In other words it is within our reach.The aim of the yoga
system is to realize this reality when we are with this very
body living.The system is not a healing method,nor a
sport or circus.The so called yoga gurus are not to be
trusted.Why?While ending the classic study of Vedic
literature with upanishads, the students pray =tamaso
ma jyotir gamaya= in the darkness,ignorance I am bring
me to the light,enlightenment.=asato ma sad gamaya=
from my status of the unreal get me in the realms of reality,
and finally =mrityor mam amritam gamaya=make me a
mere mortal into immortal.That is help me to get into
communion with nature,which is immortal.The goal of
yoga is to reach immortality.That is why poet Kalidasa
said:=yogena ante tanutyajam=,by the means of yoga
at the end used to giving up the body.Because the body
dissolves into the matter from where it came and the
consciousness gets united with natural universal
consciousness which survives uniformly with immovable
mass like rocks and the movable like birds,animals and
men.Thus life that is consciousness has no death.While
living we learn to tune ourselves with nature enable us to
know more clearly and comprehensively.The single example
before us was the Buddha,the enlightened one.

The yoga enables us to radiate energy into the entire
solar system´s clearly defined seven territories and receive
radiation in return.By sound of =aum= as in the Muezzin´s
call it moves in the air/space.In silence the radiation
works as the newly found and being used web site of the
information technology.Who would have believed some
fifty years ago we could communicate world wide through
the web net?It was there before but discovered recently.
Similarly,in the past during Buddha´s time also there were
a minority of people,who communicated through the nature.
The systemic knowledge was the means.It is only foolishness
to say that =yoga= is a form of medicine.It is not.It is much
more than that.It is like say Vipassana of Teravada Buddhism.
When we are being one with nature, we experience universal
love and happiness.Indeed the greatest goal is to enjoy
this reality.

Apart from what I have said above,there is no other goal set
for yoga.In the entire yoga sutras of sage patanjali there
is no repeat no mention of medicine or magic.Even God is
mentioned once,not as supernatural power but unconcerned
pure consciousness of the nature.The sutra says =klesha,
karma, vipakadibhih aparamristhah purusha visheshah
ishwarah= that is the consciousness is not subject to
bribing or manipulation. When we practice yoga and get
tuned to nature we are one with this consciousness.
That is said in the third sutra,= tada, drishtuh svarupe
avasthanam=then,when we are tuned by yoga,the viewer´s
original state,we remain.So that is yoga is no healing magic.
It is but mind science, enabling us enjoy the whole some
reality.(end)
