On this Wednesday, I started a new samyama (a yogic technology to express extraordinary powers and experiences through the body) on LOVE, which was taken from Patanjali Yoga Sutra (No. 130 Chapter 3 and verse 24). This samyama had given me deeper insights about love, self-love and universal love which really inspired me.
So what is love?
Love is a flower that blossoms within our being and sends out a sweet fragrance that we share it with others. Love is the most beautiful thing a human being is capable of feeling. Love is an energy that radiates happiness in all people as it brings many positive feelings such as compassion, forgiveness, fearlessness, gratitude, unity, courage and freedom. Love is the energy that is responsible for the sparkles in your eyes, the glow on your skin and the constant excitement and freedom you experience in life.
Three months after the initiation into the 3rd eye awakening by Swamiji, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, how has life been?
Honestly, I am still learning a new way of living and being with this gift of an awakened 3rd eye. It is said in many spiritual records that an activated Agna chakra, 3rd eye (which coincides with the pineal gland) opens up many possibilities to experience other dimensions or frequencies of the spiritual world. It means one treads in the zone of the Unknown – God consciousness. Swamiji declared that man plus 3rd eye equals to God.
Today I was guided to discover the true meaning of knowing as defined by Patanjali, the great sage who compiled the Yoga Sutras and I would like to share it with the world.
This was a discourse by a living incarnation, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (fondly known as Swamiji) on Yoga Sutras in 2011.
He said that, as an ordinary man, if you look at your body, you remember the human body the way you were taught at a young age by your primary teacher and you associate that name with it. Immediately you feel you know the body. Just by recollecting the name of the body parts and connecting your past memory, don’t think you know the human body. The problem that humanity faces is that they feel they know something just by knowing the name. Unfortunately, our knowledge of knowing is so superficial, the moment we know the names from what we learnt from schools, we think we know.
