Kundalini Transforms the Subtle Body

Kundalini has constructed this material body while the body was being formed in the mother’s system. This was both a physical and a psychic construction. Even though we are moving through these bodies, or transmigrating, with the same subtle body, it is the same subtle body with transformation and adaptations according to the birth environment among human beings or even in animal species.

This is all being conducted by Kundalini.

So where is the core-self in this set up?

It is present as the ego which is itself under the influence of the kundalini.

Can it break out of this?

Well don’t bother with the question let us see if we can prove otherwise.

Houdini use to break out of all sorts of confinements and so he became a celebrity. Other men tried to repeat his behavior but they were baffled and could not figure out what he did to free himself.

This means that the accomplishment of great masters may not be repeated by the likes of you and me.  And still even though the odds are against us, we should try to break out. In this case failure to break out is an option because the effort itself is liberating even if it flops in the end.

Srila Yogesh was telling me that a yogi has to take over the activities of the kundalini and then that yogi can break out. If the kundalini keeps taking us back to another material body after each birth, then there is no hope.

Saying I am Buddha or that I have the Buddha nature, believing firmly in this, will be of no value if one does not get kundalini under control. And don’t spout out some nonsense about how when the Buddha was doing kundalini yoga, and starving his body to death he realized that those austerities were not getting him anywhere.
