trace breath to the roots of our inhale.
in this inhale are we back into the five elements
that make up the body.
the essence of "mulabandha" is the diffusion of
breath into the sacred fire that absorbs our five senses.
coming together is temporary as the egg
fertilizes to spawn more eggs, but what is eternal is the life force
that passes as the breath beyond the inhale and exhale.
the body made of the food we eat has come to go
and has come back again.
our seniors, the yogis journeying beyond
enlightenment, worship lord yama (the god of death) as one amongst
the several divine entities before eating food.
the outer significance of the worship of the lord
of death before eating is -it is a prayer for the well being of the
body that must eventually die and by worshipping death we are
seeking the grace of a powerful force of nature that exists along
with life. the inner significance of this worship is - duality
worshipped as life and death in awareness leads us to know the
eternal and seek to be the eternal... beyond life and death.
this is the eternal we seek as union in our yoga.
duality, the illusion as human level ignorance gives way to the
eternal reality when the kundalini fire within blossoms as our
knowing in our divine upward climb. sacred death absorbs the
ignorance that comes from our inner transformation, so for ourself
to know the center that is the life force beyond 'death'. hence the
huge change around us as we go through so many lifetimes in one!
yoga is the eternal life force of one that
worships death in the sun salutation posture of surrender,
uttanasana-
yoga is the ascendance to be the infinite sky in
the downward dog (through our sun salutation) as being beyond body-
as feedom to be!.
yoga is being the spirit that resides in the
body as the vast void of surrender. when we center ourselves to do
the namaste pose that begins and ends of sun salutation, worship the
spirit that we are. beyond life and death limitations of the body is
to be the sun, the supreme center that as spirit is the yogic
experience.
no more going in circles to know death and life
as day and light while in the knowing.
if tantra is about making love, it is also in
truth about knowing death and the pains of birth- the body woven
with the spirit.
our pathway holds dear the rejuvenative juices
that flow through the body utilizing ancient wisdom of yoga but also
seeks to want to be the universal dweller utilizing the body and
mind as the temporary limited home and to become the dwellers of
the universe of universes.to be the one clad in 'sky'- digambara.
the yogi whose body and mind has given way to spirit and beyond the
limits and bother of the body needs.
know death by the daily surrender of the body in
the cold shower knowing the sacred element of water as in our
oneness to the five elements that makes our body. when having the
cold shower as the body initially revolts against the discomfort of
the cold, ask the supreme question, 'who am i?' gradually, 'i am'
the inner answer relates us to being the cold water too as we
surrender the body.
know death as surrender in our yoga when giving
away the body to sleep. climb above sleep, through the wedge of
conscousness in between wakefulness and sleep, to witness sleep as
death- enjoy the glimpse of turiya, the higher consciousness of the
enlightened. sleep to the one aware of the eternal moment is death
and waking up is birth.
the knowing as the eternal dance, dance beyond
death and life exclaimed by the Sages as "aanandaa... aanandaa!".
pure yoga as the eternal youthful cosmic body identifies with the
infinite space- the state of being pure joy.
the body the extention of the mind that is one
with the infinite.
enjoy your daily yoga awake in the joy of yogic
reality!
aum
realization- the mind having dissolved to
allow the eternal to shine above and beyond
the temporary. to witness the many births
purpose to find the oneness and be the oneness.
to be the blossom of the thousand petals of
the awakening above
to be spirit
as One
be nourished! what a journey that we the living
share in our yoga through the sacred breath!
with folded hands!
