The konwledge of ancient yogis
The path of mantra leads to union with the eternal truth.
Brahmalīna is becoming one with the eternal Brahma, the supreme, endless light. Purification is required, but we are bound by desires. A true saint, like an eagle taking only fresh prey or a diver seeking only pearls, absorbs pure sādhanā and God-consciousness. Through Gurudeva's blessing, even base consciousness can become Brahmā. Mantra perfection is a gradual path. First is Likhit, writing the mantra, such as the eternal sound Om. Next is constant vocal repetition. The third is Upāṃśu, where only the lips move. The fourth is Mānasika, mental repetition, though the mind is restless. The fifth is Ajapa, where the mantra becomes automatic within the body, leading to yogic consciousness and Brahmaloka. The disciple must stay in the boat of the Guru's instruction; to jump out is peril. Science is limited and breeds ego, while yoga's wisdom is eternal. Yoga is not a religion; it is the foundation, and all true religion is yoga. The Vedas are ancient, but our memory is now weakened by technology. Practice yoga sincerely for at least ninety minutes daily. There is no competition in yoga.
"Through the blessing of Gurudeva and sādhanā, the crow becomes Brahmā. That is quality, that spirituality, that consciousness."
"Yoga is not religion, but all religion is yoga."
