Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 There are two glands at the base of the brain 1) pituitary 2) hypothalamus, which give a new current of life, when Sadhana activates them. This is the Amrit oozing from “Satravi Kala”. When we reach this stage, the mind easily tends inside and merges into the simple Samadhi (Sahaj Samadhi). The intellect is to be made to stick up to the original support less principle to enable oneself to enter into the field of cosmic mind. For this we have to surpass the limits of life of body senses, and control ripples of mind. These processes of Yoga must be assisted by devotion. Otherwise the mind will not be controlled along with the Prana (vital breath). This is necessary to live the universal life of a Dhyani Bhakta. We should not be a drab Dhyani or Yogi. We should be a Dhyani Bhakti Yogi simultaneously. The Yogi of Dattatreya cult, Shri Tembe Maharaj, has said in his “Datta Mahatmya” that Pranayam control Pran but cannot still the mind. We have to undergo the process of Pratyahara and withdraw our mind and senses from the objective world just as the tortoise controls his limbs. The Pratyahara must be followed by Dharana. This will engage the mind in love. The ripples of the mind must merge with the help of recitation of name and concentration on the form of the Godhead. Mind can be “no mind’ with the help of Pratyahara. The Dharana and Dhyana will have to be fixed on the Saguna Form with the help of Namasmaran, Manaspooja and devotional attachment. The four-armed beautiful Vishnu Form is specially devised for meditation. The mind still with Prana under the influence of concentration on the form of Narayana. When Prana is won along with the mind and the mind is evaporated into nothingness, the aspirant enters in Chidakasha (higher sky) and starts living the Divine Life. The Nathas do not recognize the broad framework of Yadnya and Vedas. They value Omkar, which is the mystic Veda in the compact form. Nathas adored Nama in the form of Omkar Pranava. The sound in the word is divine. The Nada can merge the jiva into self. Nathas withdraw the mind from sense life, rouse Kundalini power and repeat Soham in the breath; they cross the six Chakras and hear Anahata to enter Divine Life. The Natha way is influenced by the Guru Mantra and the Guru Bhakti. Gorakshanath in his Siddhasiddhant Praddhati describes the half-opened eyes stabilized breathing of Sadhaka who sees the still lamp not fluttering by wind. The Manonmani stage downs together with the Amanaska Mudra. The Atma manifest as a virtual flame. The Nada and Amanaska Yoga is held by Nathas as supreme Sadhana. The Shiva coupled with Shakti is the support of Universe. Goraksha admonishes reaching Nirutthan Pada by Nadalaya, Sahajakumbhaka and Pratyahara. According to Nathas reaching Shiva principles with duality-non-duality approach is the divine life leading to the light, which is Ananda. (To be contd....)
