The nature of Ātmā, the path of Uṭhān and Patan, and the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī Śakti.
Ātmā is the same quality in all 8.4 million creations—an ant, an elephant, a human—just as a tiny fire stick and a vast forest fire share the same essence. This Ātmā is not separate from Paramātmā. Humans who eat meat exist in human form but not in that ātmā consciousness. The spiritual path is Uṭhān, going up through purity and humbleness. The other way is Patan, going down, sinking like one bound in the ocean. This choice is present in the sprouting seed of human life. Kuṇḍalinī Śakti is the force that upholds this Uṭhān and Patan. It is not a serpent and it is not merely sudden energy surges. Real awakening happens through the Guru’s grace. The three nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā—must be understood. True meditation is like a drop of ocean water falling back into the ocean; it becomes the ocean, no longer separate. The light seen in consciousness is not the physical sun or fire. Śiva himself emerges from a prior state where only space and consciousness exist, balanced and inscrutable. The original Prakāś, the divine light, precedes Agni, wind, water, and earth. The Vajrā Nāḍī is the root of Śiva, a subtle channel, not a physical object. The seven notes of divine sound originate from the cosmic ocean. Yoga is not mere āsana, prāṇāyāma, or forceful breathing. Do not sit in meditation all day. Be awake. Be jagrat.
"The quality of the Ātmā, God has given to all 8.4 million creations."
"Uthān, the spiritual purities, humbleness, is going as Uthān. Or going down, Patan."
