\nThe wise men of\u00a0the Orient, the Rishis, teach\u00a0that Union with the Divine already potentially exists\u00a0within us. However due to\u00a0insufficient\u00a0spiritual development, we are\u00a0generally\u00a0not conscious of this state of fusion with God, the Macrocosm. We see duality and multiplicity everywhere especially because of this ignorance regarding\u00a0connection with the Macrocosm. Thus ordinary people\u00a0in this situation\u00a0focus on both\u00a0within themselves and outside themselves, and on the\u00a0perception of\u00a0differences rather than similarities.<\/p>\n
The essential purpose in yoga is to return man to the perfect conscious state of non-duality; of perfection. Yoga gradually reveals the existence of many levels of\u00a0consciousness within us. YAMA and NIYAMA from KRIYA YOGA are important steps in\u00a0spiritual practice, and must be systematically and conscientiously respected. One aspect of Yoga is CONSCIOUS accelerated evolution. In general the evolution of life is coordinated by\u00a0Cosmic Divine Intelligence, exterior to\u00a0common awareness. Our spiritual evolution can be accelerated through\u00a0awakening and utilising\u00a0latent aspects of our inner universe, which\u00a0can be gradually and consciously known.\u00a0At the beginning we can be only partially conscious, sensing only vague feelings.\u00a0This will manifest later in the form of global experiences, which will allow us to understand the mysteries of life and\u00a0the Universe.<\/p>\n
Being permanently aware and conscious has a powerful\u00a0effect upon the speed of\u00a0spiritual evolution and being able to\u00a0live life to the full. It is also an excellent means to reveal a previously unknown\u00a0and profound reality. MEENAKSHI DEVI (a yogi woman from India) dealt with this crucial issue in\u00a0understanding and strengthening\u00a0the process of being conscious. Even when\u00a0beginning\u00a0the Yoga path,\u00a0she advises: \u201cto be as conscious as possible in\u00a0every way; this will indicate how unconscious we can be without even realising it\u201d.<\/p>\n
This is an apparent paradoxical affirmation, but completely true for a yogi. Many superficial and\u00a0impatient people\u00a0desire to learn \u201cthe Yoga of being conscious\u201d. However they\u00a0continue be\u00a0neglectful, ignore the fact that they do not know how to behave,\u00a0are selfish and\u00a0abusive. Despite this,\u00a0they expect special\u00a0and rapid results in Yoga, thinking that they decidedly deserve this. These types do not take into account that this beneficial and extraordinary jump can only be achieved gradually and\u00a0in stages. To develop spiritually\u00a0entails removing any evil;\u00a0it is a fundamental transformation and purification of the person. This is exacerbated by the fashion today\u00a0of\u00a0selfishness,\u00a0ignorance,\u00a0lack of common sense and attitudes like \u201cget all\u00a0you can,\u00a0when you can\u201d.<\/p>\n
More than anything, yoga disciples should learn to be patient,\u00a0mentally open,\u00a0and always ready to learn\u00a0from any situation, both exterior and interior. If they do not have this attitude, they will be easily disappointed due to improper use\u00a0of time and effort. Their actions will be very inefficient. Yoga can be defined as ABILITY AND INTELLIGENCE IN ACTION. Through ability, we understand\u00a0how\u00a0to use\u00a0our own strengths and talents in an intelligent way with\u00a0maximum efficiency. Through the subtle process of resonance we can comprehend the requirements for the amplification of\u00a0 power, and thus enable\u00a0the optimal energisation of these endowments. NOW AWAKEN. Therefore the complete process of becoming conscious is the privileged modality that awakens and amplifies our natural ABILITY in a short time. Through\u00a0constant, correct and systematic practice,\u00a0ABILITY can be extraordinarily perfected.\u00a0Only by being conscious can we\u00a0really develop the skills and even paranormal powers that can result from proper YOGA practice.<\/p>\n
