The yogi is therefore bound to wake up from the samadhi because release from bondage has not yet been accomplished. The vasanas, that is the latent mental tendencies, are not however destroyed. If one concentrates on the sahasrara there is no doubt that the ecstasy of samadhi ensues. The individual confines himself to the limits of the changeful body or of the mind which derives its existence from the unchanging Self.Īll that is necessary is to give up this mistaken identity, and that done, the ever-shining Self will be seen to be the single non-dual reality. It is as it is, ever sparkling, ever steady, unmoving and unchanging. The Self does not come from anywhere else and enter the body through the crown of the head. Go to the source direct and do not depend on borrowed resources.
The jnani further argues: if the light is borrowed it must come from its native source. That the brain functions by light borrowed from another source is admitted by the yogis themselves in their fontanelle theory. In fact the body is in the mind which has the brain for its seat. Only if this standpoint of separateness is adopted can the yogi advise effort for reunion by the practice of yoga.
The jnanis on the other hand point out that the yogi assumes the existence of the body and its separateness from the Self. Therefore, they say, we must by yoga practice gather up the pranas and enter the fontanelle for the consummation of yoga. They point out the scriptural statement that the lifecurrent enters the body through the fontanelle and argue that,viyoga having come about that way, yoga must also be effected in the reverse way. The yogis attach the highest importance to sending the kundalini up to the sahasrara, the brain centre or the thousandpetalled lotus. When by this method the mind is merged in the Self, the shakti or kundalini, which is not apart from the Self, rises automatically. Ramana Maharshi : Though the yogi may have his methods of breath control for this object, the jnani's method is only that of enquiry. Question : How to churn up the nadis so that the kundalini may go up the sushumna?
