Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Disgust I don’t believe is not the correct word aversion may be a better word though I believe not quite These words would only describe a transient observation of a yogi going through different stages of enlightenment or understanding union A better description would be discernment for lower objects of desire over the greater desire of oneness of the universal truth Patanjali uses the word Vairagya, meaning is closely related to detachment of worldly desire how ever not quite as it is a state of mind where as worldly objects are realized to be as not as important as it is to worldly people that put a higher emphasis on things and occurrences. As a yogi grows inward, worldly objects have a lesser hold and take second third or no place at all depending on dharma At some point in a yogis life the dharma extinguishes itself and this happens naturally as objects become less satisfying and may well at this point a tantric is born as only the truth is left to be known non else from this point on has the ability to hold the attention as nothing else will give substantial satisfaction . The kundalini has taken hold of the conscious living being and begins pumping its life breath, causing the yogi to yearn at the overwhelming significance of the omnipresent draw of the cosmic ocean. A yogi needs to be able to recognize the situation of change that allows the step to a higher cycle. Vairagya allows him to keep his feet out of the mud without being subjugated to remorse over a sense of loss due to change. The snake may just be symbolic as the mother of creation itself as one may look at the spiral galaxy of the Milky Way also being the mother. And presume that what is within is without. Arohan and aroahan and the cyclic motion of the conscious universe, expansion contraction the different stages of breath, as well as its natural retentions rechaka similarly in the case of the universe pralaya followed by the ushering in of a new breath of creation on a higher turn of the spiral OM TAT SAT OM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
