Life is one
Life is eternal, and the science of chakras reveals our fundamental oneness.
Life is endless. The physical body is a temporary layer, like a garment changed, but the life within does not die. The true self is layered like an onion; peeling back the layers reveals the essential Ātmā. All existence is one, like countless drops from a single ocean. These drops—steam, fog, rain, rivers—ultimately merge back into the oceanic source. Our perceived separation is an illusion. The process of realizing this unity is yoga: the eternal harmony, balance, and union between consciousness and space. All beings share this one life. Impurities of thought create bondage, so purification is essential to merge into the immortal ocean within. Chakras are centers mapping this journey from individuality to oneness.
"Life is ever life. Death is ever death. So we are life, and we will always be life."
"Yoga means union. Yoga means union. There are only two. Yoga. And so there is between this, so that means that yoga is eternal."
