The Path of the Pilot: Mastering the Inner Aeroplane
The inner pilot is the consciousness that must master the body and mind. The body is like an aeroplane carrying many elements; the pilot resides between the eyebrows, guiding concentration to the crown. Mastery requires flying alone, relying solely on inner instruments. The essential power lies in the spinal channel, the Vajranāḍī, which governs the entire system. Without controlling this, nothing is achieved. External practices and powers are demonstrated, like sitting in fire, but these are not the core. True yoga is not merely postures; it is becoming the Brahman through inner control. This path is not easy and demands unwavering inner strength.
"The pilot resides between our eyebrows. From there, concentration goes directly to the Sahasrāra Chakra."
"If the Vajranāḍī is not controlled, nothing else matters; whatever you do is nothing."
