The moon is constantly changing; the moon is not equal every day. Similarly, the human mind is not equal every day. Our mind is changing, constantly changing, and very often we say, "Well, I have changed my mind." Therefore, the mind is the principle of the moon, and the moon is the principle of emotion, or water. Water is flowing; water is changing in the flow. Today is a full moon day, and you will see that mostly the waves are high today on the full moon day. The right one is the sun system; the sun is always steady and unchangeable, while all other circumstances change around the sun. So the sun here is the symbol of fire, the symbol of our activities, of taking decisions, and of clarity. The third nāḍī is called suṣumnā, the central nervous system, the central channeling system. And suṣumnā represents consciousness. Consciousness flows constantly through the suṣumnā; consciousness is the radiance of the soul, the light of the soul. Now, to create the balance in these three nervous systems is the purpose of practicing Haṭha Yoga. The moon is known as "ha" and the sun is "tha"; this becomes "haṭha," and the suṣumnā is the third one that unites them, which becomes yoga. So that is Haṭha Yoga: balance between the mind, the decision, or the intellect. When mind and intellect are in perfect balance and control, then consciousness begins to awaken or flow close. There you can find inner peace, inner satisfaction, clarity, the sense of life, to understand creation, and to exist in this world with the feeling of spirituality, the feeling of divinity.
