When Kundalini is Made to Dance

Buddhi Lila is intellectual activities, even impulsive or compulsive ones, even absentminded or subconscious ones.
Kundalini Lila is emotional sensual activities, deliberately induced or spontaneously occurring.
Kundalini being a psychic mechanism cannot be commanded fully by any limited soul. Therefore a roundabout method is used to defeat it by controlling its air/energy supply. It is influenced by the type of air/energy and the quantity of that which it ingests.
This is similar to starving a rebel king and controlling his food supply including the type of food which reaches his city. Kundalini is hemmed in from all sides just as ancient kings used to do by building a wall around their cities and by having a wide moat outside the walls.
But there is a flaw in this ancient design which is that the king and his subject only have a stockpile of food which will last for a certain number of weeks or months. By kumbhak one can kill the body and some yogis use that method to junk an old body. However it does a student no good to kill the body in that way, because the student needs the help of the body to continue the spiritual discipline.
This is because if the subtle body is not reformed before passing from the gross body, then death puts the student at a disadvantage where he or she cannot control the subtle body which has no gross form.
Kites need tails or a weighted end for stability. Without a tail the kite will cant in the wind and crash to the ground in smashed-up condition. The unreformed non-siddha subtle body needs to have a gross body for stability
If the student develops a yoga siddha subtle body form, then there is no need for a kite and he or she can do kumbhak and kill off the gross body, junking it. Hurrah for such a great yogi!
For others that is not a solution.
To get kundalini controlled, the student has to use the roundabout method of controlling the air intake of kundalini. By manipulating its air supply, the yogi can have fun watching kundalini dance when it is subjected to the whim of pranayama practice.
In the conditioned state, the core-self has to put on a dance act every time the kundalini begins to play its music. This is serious business. But when the student finds an effective pranayama method, then the roles switch and the yogi becomes happy seeing that now, kundalini is the one who has to do the dancing act.
Who is involved in this?
Well it is only the core-self and its kundalini which is involved. These are two of the principal components in the psyche of an individual living being. It does not concern others. It is totally inside the psyche.

Humor me on this one; so was I aiming at becoming a snake charmer all this time?

Either you charm the snake or be charmed by it.
Someone or Something has to dance.
