The Farewell Message of Lord Krishna

Lord Krishna on the eve of His departure from the arena of this

world, after finishing the difficult task of establishing Dharma,

gave His last parting discourse to His uncle Uddhava who was also

His dearest devotee and follower. At the end of a long sermon

comprising of more than one thousand verses Uddhava said: O Lord,

I think the pursuit of yoga as You narrated (to Arjuna, and now) to

me, is very difficult, indeed, for most people, because it entails

control of the unruly senses. Please tell me a short, simple, and

easy way to God-realization. Lord Krishna upon Uddhava's request

gave the essentials of Self-realization for the modern age as

follows:

 

(1) Do your duty, to the best of your abilities, for the Lord

without any selfish motive, and remember God at all times -- before

starting a work, at the completion of a task, and while inactive.

 

(2) Practice to look upon all creatures as Myself in thought, word,

and deed; and mentally bow down to them.

 

(3) Awaken your dormant Kundalini power -- by using yogic

techniques -- and perceive that the power of God is with you at all

times; through the activities of mind, senses, breathing, and

emotions; and is constantly doing all the work using you as a mere

instrument. Paramahamsa Hariharananda says: God is in everything as

well as above everything.

 

 

OM SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH

just a question about point (3). Isn´t it dangerous awakening kundalini - some people say so ?
