The light shines in the darkness

[Guest guest]

As one continues to practice KY of Yogi Bhajan, applying awareness steadily

through the active and passive parts of each KY exercise, kriya, amplified

mantra, noticing, releasing, accepting, ....gradually the nadis fill with

voltage, radiant and blissful, electric transparent. Each nadi, like the

filiment in a light bulb radiates so that the whole body (the 10 bodies) begins

to light the area around, like the sun lights and gives life to the solar

system. What was the darkness of the limited light flowing through the mind's

mechanism of attention, gripping each and every rising thought and impression

with the notion of "I am these thoughts and impressions" gives way to being

aware of oneself as the self effulgent screen of consciousness within which all

images subtle and gross simply appear - undfferentiated, unconditioned,

uncaused, without attachment. The self motivated orientation of the mind, the

ego idea, releases, vanishes like a mirage. The mind becomes neutral. The seer

(atman) looses its need for the support and attention to objects, and pulses

within Itself "I as I."

 

Suddenly in the midst of this pervading light of awareness arises a sense of

"sunia" of hearing of knowing of abiding as ones' self essence - single

pervasive awareness. Mania is the recollection that "I am this Truth" Then

there is a delinking altogether of the last vestage if the "I am the body" idea,

release from Maya. The body may be in pain or full of bliss, the mind may be

racing or empty, suddenly there is .. nothing.Silence reverberating beyond

silence. Yogis call it Turya, the pervasive light of being upon which waking,

dreaming and deep sleep appear. The Real. The Truth. Love.
