THE LORD OF ALL YOGAS

 

THE LORD OF ALL YOGAS

“Lord, you are the Master of all four Yogas, your Bhakti towards Shakti, the Mother; Your Gyan of the Self and Cosmos; Your Raja meditations of rhythm and steps, and your Vishvakarma of drinking venom”. The snake elaborated his salutation, "You remain devoted to your own principle of Divine creation, to your consort, and consequently, to us all.

You are the supreme knowledge of Self, all our selves, and the whole Cosmic Self.

You remain absorbed in transpersonal meditations for our growth.

If this is not enough, finally, you neutralize the wrongs committed by your children, by yourself drinking the venom spilled by us, this is your inevitable cosmic action.

Therefore, although you contain the whole Universe, although you are the Supreme God, yet, you are a Yogi too, remaining always absorbed in Godhood”

“I will tell you another”, said the Yogi, pleased with the snake’s understanding. “When you draw a map through Shruti, it is single dimension. When you add Smriti, it acquires another dimension. Then, you add depth, through Yukti, is becomes three dimensional, almost real. When there is Anubhava (experience), that is, when you witness the map, it is now four dimensional, you, are the fourth dimension. You are not just witnessing the map, you are part of it now”.

“In how many ways can He make me witness Himself”, wondered the snake.
