Yogi takes for granted that
there is an Iswara--God, gives it to people for concentration purposes, and
then they naturally find God in their meditations. But it is only his imagined
God.
Mystics see what they are
looking for or that whose existence they presuppose. Therefore Yoga belongs to
religion, not Philosophy.
God is mere belief; no one has
proved that there is a God. No one has proved that the individual is God or
Brahman. Personal experience which is
not universally valid is no proof, neither is ecstatic feeling.
What one knows must be tested,
to see if it be true or not. Experience must be taken, checked, analysed and
corrected. It is the characteristic of all human beings to believe they
understand, even when they do not. Otherwise he may be merely imagining as he like.
The reasoning base has to be
rectified from form to formless to get faultless judgement. The defective interpretation is to apply it
only to waking state. The correct interpretation is to apply it to the three
states. The latter leads to final settlement of the problems because it takes all
data into consideration. Opinions belong
to scholasticism. And opinions are of no use in pursuit of truth.
If one has a belief, it is
because somebody else believes it; or the majority believes it--or it is his own
experience. Is it religious authority or religious sanction or is it based upon
a feeling of certainty?
People believe it merely because
it is for them to believe and very difficult for them to reason. The belief makes one more and more ignorance
of the true self. Without realizing the true self is not the physical but the
formless soul, the true will not be revealed.
The belief system rests on the belief because it is based on the belief.
The truth is based on the reason not on the belief. Nearly all people want their own imagination,
not truth.
When Yogi comes out of Samadhi and immediately duality confronts
him again. His peace goes, it was depended Samadhi or sleep. Hence no yogi attains
true peace, but he imagines it.
It is not possible know that a Yogi is self-realized because the
yogic Samadhi is not self-realization. One
must first find out that what he has got is Samadhi or wisdom. Only through non-dual wisdom one gets self realization.
The yogic Samadhi cannot be considered as non-dual wisdom. Therefore
there is need to verify the facts. .
If a
god men claims “I am god “No one can disapprove. Similarly with all other yogis
who assert they know Brahman in Samadhi. There is no possibility of proof or
disproof. Hence these yogis assume or imagine they are god and they
cheat themselves or others without knowing what god is in reality.
When one cannot know the world in front of him then how can he
know the God? He will only know his imagination of a God. How can he say his God
is all-merciful, when the god is formless and cannot be perceivable from
physical eyes?
Sanyasins are enjoined not to accept anything or ask for
anything in order to get established in Atman. Religion propagates that only
Sanyasis can have Atma Gnana, but it is not so, anyone who trains
himself to reason on the base of the true self will be able to acquire non-dualistic wisdom.
Blessings are religious fable. Only
pretenders give blessings. A Gnani neither blesses nor curses.
The yogi fail to see non-duality in Samadhi, because he believes
there is bliss to come to him from Samadhi. That shows he does not know truth,
but still seeks bliss as something apart from himself.
It is no use seeing God everywhere. One must see Atman, the same
consciousness, the same self, everywhere, and then he will be able to accept all the three states alike(as consciousness), with sameness.
