Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 CHAPTER - XII YOGA FOR All There are millions of creatures in the universe. Among all, the form of human being is the best, in the sense; it is nearer to the Creator. The Creator creates the Universe with some thinking and analyzing. Among all creatures man only can think and analyse. So the human form is the best form to realize the ‘Supreme Being’ or to be one with the Universal one. If the man tries, he can know the knower in him. He can realize the self. Once he knows the self or life or Atma inside him, then all lives or selves inside all beings are known to him. Then he becomes Brahmagnani or Brahman himself. He joins with the Para Brahma or Universal God. Once he joins with Para Brahma, he becomes God Himself. He realizes that he has no birth or death; he has no pleasure or pain. He is Paramahamsa. The main aim of all human being should be to become Paramahamsa. This can be achieved by Yoga. To achieve Yoga, there are many more ways or processes. Among them are by severe asanas, pranayams, following difficult as terites, by long-range tapas, by Kriya yoga or Gnyan yoga or Karma yoga and Bhakti yoga, etc. But for an ordinary worldly man all the above paths are very difficult. If this is so, then how the worldly man can achieve Yoga and merge with God. The worldly man can easily realize God and merge with him. If he realizes what is “I”. “I” is this material jada body of blood, flesh, and bone or “I” is the self or consciousness or life of this body. If I am not there, then this body of mine becomes dead. This body cannot see, cannot speak, cannot move and cannot do anything. So the doer, seer, hearer, knower is not this body, but it is “I” the self or life inside this body. So “I” am is not this body but the life of this body. As per the Gita, the life or Atma cannot be cut, cannot be burnt, cannot be sunk in water. It has no birth or death. So “I” the life or self has no birth, no death and no growth. It is separate from the jada body. It is the witness of all activities of his body. I am the self or Atma, the part of Paramatma. Like the air inside the body is not different from Universal Air, similarly the Atma inside this body is not separate Universal Atma, or Paramatma. Parabrahama i.e. Paramatma is permitted in everybody, everywhere. So “I” the self in my body is the same in the self in everybody. The qualities and nature of self or Atma or Brahma is one and the same in everybody including all avtars like Rama, Krishna, Sai Baba and Shankaracharya. That is why Sai Baba says “I realize that I am God and you do not realize that you are also God”. This is the difference between an Avtar and an ordinary man. (To be contd....)
