Yoga and Yogi
Yoga is the skillful practice of action to reach samādhi. The universe is within the body; a yogi travels inward through infinite inner space. Consciousness exists beyond time and space. All experience, including astral travel, occurs within the body. Practice involves discipline in conduct, diet, and breath. Prāṇāyāma maintains health, and awareness arises from fear, which is a necessary guardian. Fear stems from ignorance or guilt and cannot be eliminated, only accepted and calmed. The Vajranāḍī is the root of immunity, strengthened by specific postures like Vajrāsana and Khaṭu Praṇām. Dietary discipline is essential; grains and meat impair the body and contain life. The Guru's grace is essential for liberation.
"Yoga sādhanā will be successful by performing actions skillfully."
"Fear is very important for us. And that is why God connected this fear with consciousness."
