Eternal Journey of the Soul
The eternal journey is the awakening of consciousness through kuṇḍalinī. Kuṇḍalinī is the awakening of bliss and consciousness, occurring when the cosmic energy within the body is purified and directed upward. The five cakras of normal existence are along the spine, and three divine cakras are above it toward the crown. Yoga practices like prāṇāyāma and meditation harmonize these centers, yet a spiritual master's guidance is essential. The guru removes the darkness of ignorance. Our reality is the immortal ātmā, the eternal light of God which cannot be destroyed. We exist within cycles of time and karma, where every action becomes destiny. The individual self longs to merge with its universal origin. Through disciplines like samādhi, one can transcend individual consciousness. This requires detachment, for attachment breeds fear. The human intellect is a powerful tool to awaken inner talents through dedicated practice under one guidance. Life is a journey of realizing this potential to escape the cycles of birth and death.
"The awakening of the kuṇḍalinī means the awakening of bliss."
"The guru means the remover of darkness."
