EXPLORE THY ENERGIES

                

Many of us may think ‘Yoga’ to be some difficult physical postures; But that’s not the real idea of yoga. ‘Yoga’ really is a state of perfect attunement when our body, mind and spirit are in absolute harmony with existence. When we fine-tune ourselves to such a point, everything functions beautifully within us and the best of our abilities naturally flow out of us. If we observe, we will find that when we are happy, we have endless energy? Even if we don’t eat or sleep, we can go on. Just a little happiness liberates us from our normal limitations of energy and capability. 

Yoga is the science of activating our inner energies in such a way that our body, mind and emotions function at their highest peak. When our body and mind function in a completely different state of relaxation and at a certain level of blissfulness, we are released from so many things that most people suffer from.

For example, throbbing headache is – by itself - not a major disease but a symptom given out by some other systemic trouble and it badly stands in the way of our natural capability for the entire day. With the practice of yoga, our body and mind come to such a level of highest possible peak that all intrusive ailments or elements just can’t approach and penetrate through.

   

There are also other dimensions to yoga. When we activate our energies through yoga, we can function in a different way. Normally we consider ourselves to be individuals and are identified with many things. But in reality, what we call as “myself” is actually just a certain amount of energy.

Modern science tells us that everything is the same energy manifesting itself in millions of different ways. If that be so, then what we call the Divine, or a stone, or a man, woman, or demon are all the same energy functioning in different ways, in different manifestations. That means, the same energy  functioning at different levels of capability. 

Though we are all made of the same energy, we still don’t function at the same level of capability. What we call creativity or talent, our ability to do things in the world, is only a certain way of our energy functions.

Potentially it is the same energy that creates rose flower in one plant and jasmine in another. When we gain a little bit of mastery over our own energies, we will simply and naturally do things that we never imagined possible. This is the experience of those who have started doing yogic practices.

      It is the inner technology of creating situations the way you want them.

Today, we build huge buildings with the same material that people used to build little huts. They thought that was all they could do with it. Initially, we thought we could only dig mud and make pots or bricks out of it. Now, we dig the earth and make computers, cars, and even spacecrafts. It is the same energy; only with a difference that we have just started using it for higher possibilities.

Our inner energies are also like that; the more we delve in, the more we explore. There is a whole technology as to how to use this energy for higher possibilities. We must explore and know this. Otherwise, life becomes limited and accidental.
