Integrating Ancient Wisdom in Modern Life: Pass Through
- With self-control and meditation one will get many mystical powers as a by-product. Before one starts that journey let’s understand four words: Seeker, Spiritual Practice, Mystical Power and Liberated Being.
- When Seeker starts Spiritual Practise he gets physical, mental and mystical powers and he sits on the mines of power. He has to pass through all this to reach his goal; Liberated Being.
- With the Mystical Power one will get popularity, money, name and followers. This is a real test by spiritual practise one wants mystical power or libration. If one chooses Mystical Power or Libration. If one gets involved in Mystical Power then he will miss the opportunity of self-realisation and libration. But one withdraws energy from Mystical Power and uses the same energy for Self-realisation he will merge into Supreme Consciousness.
- Yoga is the superpower that acts as a catalyst to go beyond the mortal power and evoke the mystic or yogic power. Patanjali is guiding us to become more alert towards the self when our Spiritual Practise goes deep and don’t get involved in Mystical Powers, they are obstacles.
- When one transforms three stages and types of Mind will get Mystical power of past and future knowledge. The Past as a cause and the future as an effect are inherent in the Present. Present is the effect of the past and future is the effect of present. So the past, present and future are connected with cause and effect. One whose focus is in the present then naturally he will have knowledge of past and present and can predict it.
- World Scientists say time is relative and controlled by two factors: velocity and gravity. If the displacement is constant then the velocity is inversely proportional to time so increase in velocity with decreases in time and theory of general relativity predicts that where gravity is stronger, time passes more slowly. NASA has calculated the moon’s standard lunar day to be the equivalent of 29.53 Earth days, but due to the gravitational field, clocks run about 56 microseconds faster than on Earth.
- Inner Scientist, Patanjali says there is no control of Prakriti, when one merges with Prakriti by defying gravity and velocity, with self-restraint and meditation, called Prakriti Laya, which leads to the union of cosmic and individual wisdom. Now one can see the play of manifestation and un-manifestation, the whole infinite series of the past, from amoeba to man, meaning the past and future of oneself and everything manifested by Prakriti from the beginning. Yogi with the Prakriti Laya, can travel in the universe with an astral body and found that time on earth is faster.
- This is mystical power. Don’t stop here. Goal is to know oneself, that you are neither in space nor in time; you pass through them but you are not them, you may be in them but you are not them. By knowing oneself one knows Supreme Consciousness, Purusha.
