Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Dear De-spell, Yes when i wrote intense Prana it means a person having control over his desires and senses. When I added dictators in the list, though it was paradoxial, yet it is true. how ? Pranayama starts the process of purification, it does not purify completely. The actual purification is done by the Kundalini and one is completely purified when Kundalini energy mates with Shiva in Sahasradhara chakra, before that a sadhaka may have got many siddhis and powers and have entered into the realms of itense prana, but he is still at risk, as once Dear Omprem wrote that even great yogis fall from their grace despite their kundalini having reached higher chakras. Pranayama gives immense will power and if this will power is used in constructive work like arts, poetry,spirituality etc, a person will shine in the world with his creative works like Rabindranath Tagore, Vivekananda, Yogananda etc did. But if the sadhaka has in him even a single vritti of controlling the world, his will power and intense prana are mis-used by him. There are many examples, where great saints fall from their grace. Sage Vishwamitra could not control his sexual desires despite being almost a Brahm Gyani, and he fell from his grace by accepting sexual relations with an Apsara (divine dancer) who was sent to spoil his progress. So if a person has gained lot of progress and has reached the zone of intense prana, and his life ends...and when he takes re-birth he is born with great will power and controlling energy. If he does not get good circumstances (though this too is decided by the Universal system as per his hidden desires), his will power is misused. If you study carefuly the life of dictators etc you will find they had great motivation powers and immense will power. Hitler was certainly not a fool or idiot. Rasputin's example is best suited here. Those who induldge in dacoity, wars etc. are having more control over their prana....they have more energies than a common man. Dictators control whole of a nation by their will power. all this is a game of Prana. And mind when such persons suddenly turn towards spirituality, they make faster progress than a common man because they already have will power determination etc. and the only obstcle to their turning towards spirituality may be one of their bad desire or their deep rooted Ego. when such an ego is destructed by another higher positive energy, they shine as great saints. Example of Dacoit Ratnakar is worth studying. He used to loot people, kill them and feed his family and when sage narada asked him why he was doing it he said he was doing it for his family. Narada asked his wife," will you share the sins of your husband" She simply refused and said, "Feeding family is the duty of Ratnakar and how he brings in the money is his problem...we will not share his sin, if he earns by looting". This broke the Hypnotism of Ratnakar and destroyed his ego...and he became a great Saint Valmiki who wrote Ramayana. similar was the case of Angulimaal, who was turned into saint by Buddha. Bravery, will-power, confidence and control are the qualities of a person who has his prana under control.....the person may be using these qualities for good purpose and making himself higher...or he may use them for bad things...and finally he is either destroyed..like hitler, rasputin, or shines like a saint like valmiki and angulimaal. spirituality is not a path of cowards, weak will-powered, not confident and lazy people. It is better to be a dacoit than to be a coward and a vegetable like person. Sage patanjali, has thus given great imphasis on Yama and Niyama a system of discipline to purify and control the desires of body and mind. If a person is into the path of Sadhna with Yama and Niyama, there are bleak chances of him becoming a powerful negativity. Pranayama and Kundalini Shaktis are like Atomic power....they do not decide their own use. It is finally our Own real self...which can use them for destruction or construction. We can burn Hiroshima and Nagasaki....or we can produce electricity for million of poors, decision is ours...Atomic energy will not guide us for that.
