Yogi Who Eats Here And There

If you are interested, if it has any meaning or significance to you, then I would explain that reaching siddhas now or hereafter is going to depend on location in consciousness. First of all you have to get rid of the idea that there is only one level of consciousness in the psychic, supernatural and spiritual dimensions. Once you understand this and you are open to this, then the explanation can be put to use.

When you are doing breath infusion or even when you are doing meditation and have done no breath infusion, you might be shifting in different levels of consciousness. Just as we can say that the universe is filled with one frequency and we can run away with that gleefully, we can also see clearly that such an idea is useless for all practical purposes.

Take the example of your cell phone. It receives a particular frequency which is generated by human engineers. It is specific. It is not hit and misses. It is not universal because if it was you could not get an isolated message which is received by your phone alone.

If it was universal, then all cell phones would get the same ring and the same message. To be clear when you are doing practice, get sensitive with yourself so that the vagueness and abstractness of the subtle consciousness begins to clear up and show the distinctions with it. Don’t be scared of psychic segregation the way you are of social segregation among unfair human beings.

How do you know that the supernatural realm has distinctions? Well obviously you can only know that at first on the basis of what I am saying. Later if you get experience, then what I am saying would be removed as a cause of faith.

When I was doing breath infusion this morning, there was a problem because two days ago, I sabotaged my practice. Due to that it took longer to infuse the subtle body. There was some extra-dense energy down in the lower trunk of the body. It was there because of what I ate and when I ate that particular meal.

People feel that anybody can cook for anybody and that is all well and good in the normal day to day world. When you become a yogi however and you get serious about practice, your practice becomes like a mad dictator who makes these crazy stipulations about what to eat, when to eat, and how it should be prepared.

If you break the regulation, then your practice suffers and you have to work with your subtle body to get it back in order. Let us go back to the cell phone example. Say for instance that I have a particular frequency which I was given by a yoga guru. That is his frequency. I reach him through that daily by tuning in to that. As soon as I get my subtle body up to that level in its vibrational content, then I am immediately in the presence of that yoga guru. To tune into that I do a certain amount of breath infusion so that the subtle body jumps in frequency and reaches the plane of consciousness in which that yogi resides.

Usually this is easy but on that day when I mess up the eating schedule and I took deviant meals, then it is like the cell phone dropped from the 5th story of the building and landed on the asphalt on the road nearby. So guess what, I have to get it repaired because it can no longer generate the proper frequency for me to connect to my yoga guru.

I could of course live in fantasy and tell the students that it does not matter what I eat or when I eat it or who prepares the meal, because I am transcendental and I am not the body. I can transcend all of that. I am God so I can get up to the God level where there is just God and that is that.

Well of course that is nonsense because the truth is that my practice was affected and I had to do more breath infusion this morning because even after 30 minutes, I still was not making contact with the level in which I usually perceive a yoga guru. After about 40 minutes, I got this tap on the shoulder from Swami Muktananda, And he said, “Where were you yesterday? You cannot afford to miss any practice. How do you know when that body will drop dead? You are not controlling that. Or do you think you are? What is the matter? If you cannot maintain the practice, then how will others? Eating here! Eating there! Eating now! Eating then! That is not for yogis.”

How about a little math from the elementary level when we used to add this to that:

Food + Air + Ideas = Mood

Or in Sanskrit:

Bhoga + Prana + Chittavritti = Guna

All math wise-men out there can present corrections to these formulas.
