3 KNOW-HOWS

Here and now

After you sharpened your mind you get a chance to move forward. The next step is living “here and now”. But be careful, this step could be a trap if your mind wasn’t sharpened well enough. You need to be the real boss of your mind to take this step. Only in this case you can move to the stage “here and now”. If you weren’t ready; if you still had an animal inside you, don’t take this step. Sort out with your mind, then move forward to the Enlightenment. So remember – become the boss of your mind first, and then you can switch to “here and now”, not earlier! It is very important to keep this idea in your mind.

Often people neglect this piece of advice and as the result we have - alcoholism, smoking and drugs. All of these “bad habits” are just a try to eclipse mind, which has become a tyrant. A man or a women drinks spirits and feels happy for some time. Then he/she sobers up and gets all his/her problems back and hangover is a bonus.

That’s why you should always remember about the fine line between sharpening your mind and moving to the next stage of evolution “here and now”. As soon as you forget it, you get problems with alcohol, depression, smoking, drugs and many more unpleasant things.

Causal body

You should stop identify yourself with your mind. Then you step at the level of Causal body. We would have to work hard on that level. The level of Causal body is very high one. At this level we should pull our Consciousness and Energy out from all our bodies: gross, subtle and causal and stop identifying ourselves with all of them. As soon as you do it, you get the control over all your three groups of bodies. You would get an ability to change them in the twinkling of an eye. You can change and control it hands-down as like  it was a dream.

Real yogi and yogini don’t need to care about creating a beautiful body, all they need is to want it “I want a beautiful body” and notto do anything else. Body adjusts by itself. Of course it takes some time, just because some chemical reactions must take place – but they don’t need to do anything but wait. If you want to get the same power you need stop identifying yourself with everything that are not you and it will happen.The rest would be done by your Energy and Consciousness. All of this apply not only for physical body but also for intellectual abilities. As soon as you become the boss of your mind, you can overcome the leeway you had very fast.

Highest point of yoga

What’s happened when you get an ability of dragging your Energy and Consciousness (or Prana) out from your three bodies? You come very close to the highest point of Yoga. When you identify yourself with your Energy and Consciousness, and at the same time your Energy and Consciousness aren’t determined by any bodies – that is the highest feeling of happiness, joy and clarity. The last step, according to the yoga axiomatics, when you cognize your real nature. After it all the manifestations go away and you are aware yourself as your Highest Self. From that moment you don’t need any support, because your Highest Self is support by itself. At that moment you absorb your Highest Self and you Highest Self absorbs you – and you spontaneously reach the state of Samadhi without an object, because your Highest Self is not an object.

As soon as you reach this level, you realize, you are equal to the Highest Self of each human being. You aware that the sum of these Highest Selves is Absolute by itself. So you are equal to Absolute. That is the Highest level in Yoga.

When you identify yourself with your Highest Self, all your enemies disappear. Because an enemy is a person who has contradictions and disagreements with you. As soon as you realize yourself as the Highest Self of every human being, you become also Highest Self of your enemy. And there are no contradictions and disagreements between you anymore.

Once again – kriya yoga

Let’s back to the point. We have a body. We consider ourselves as the body and we can manifest our Energy and Consciousness through our body: we can see, feel, move. We identify Energy and Consciousness with our bodies – gross, subtle and causalcausal. Our purpose is to find the way – to break this identification and to reach Samadhi. Kriya Yoga helps us to do it. Kriya Yoga can be defined as a method of breaking false identification.

Some people think that Kriya Yoga is a kind of aerobic or fitness like dance. Correct. But it only one side of Kriya Yoga. It is “a surface” of Kriya. Kriya is movements. But these movements have a special intention: to break identification with bodies. How does it work?
