Romance from the Yogic perspective of Yogi Bhajan

[Guest guest]

Romance

It is a state of consciousness that is imaginary and sweeter than

reality. It is creative. It comes from the akashic tattwa, the ether. It

has a personality that is very subtle. The romance has a relationship

with the subtle body and the subtle body is that body through which the

soul has to leave for the call of the God. Don't think that romance is

no good. It is wonderfully bad. In the state of romance we are so

expanded and we are so one point that it is complete in itself. Romance

is microscopic and macroscopic and complete. Three people belong to the

same category:

- philosophers

- lovers

- and lunatics

 

Mental expansion beyond reality makes you loony and romance does

that. What happens is this brain and this mind work their scene

together. It can go beyond space into non reality. When we are in

romance and we don't get it, it gives us a pain that we cannot even

describe. Love never gives us pain. We need to keep these two things

separate and don't mix them. Love is never painful. It is the romantic

extension of our personality and it is the overwhelming power of our

subtle body on the pranic body and then the pranic body starts

suffocating. Then the pranic body leaves and subtle body takes over.

While we are alive the subtle body grows and the pranic body shrinks.

And no shrink can help. A person is in love, in full romantic love. This

person is in pain, excruciating pain. He or she has fallen in love. We

know, we can tell them anything. They don't listen. We show them

anything. They don't see. We ask them to hear. There is nothing. We tell

them to say something. They are silent. Then they start crying. It is a

kind of hysteria. Lunatic hysteria of romantic love. Because the

passion, the computerized passion of the glandular system is out of

control. We call it love. In the yogic science it is called nonsense.

Madness.

 

Then what is the difference between romance and reality? There is

actually no difference at all. Reality is a practical balance between

romance and non reality. Reality is a middle stage.

The Kundalini Yoga set Awakening Yourself to the Ten Bodies is a

typical example of what I call a classical kriya. It starts with the

wake up series and then moves up the spine stimulating the chakras and

balancing the tattwas. In this process it balances the ten bodies and

increases your awareness to your ten bodies.
