Yoga is an ancient science designed to strengthen you ethically, physically, emotionally, and mentally. Yoga frees you of conditioning, compulsive behavior, and habits that prevent you from living an inspired life. Many people receive inspired visions, but few have the soul strength to manifest their visions. When you absorb yourself in an inspired project, you transcend time. You reach superconscious levels as you become absorbed in blissful, creative activities. This is the path of sahaja yoga, the easy path, where all the devotee must do is have continuous sweet remembrance of his or her ideal. This constant remembrance pulls the kundalini up to the higher chakras. In order for a person to reach the pinnacle of yogic concentration, however, there are certain natural stages that lead to deep levels of meditation. Yoga, like all religions, begins with basic ethical observances (stage 1 and 2, yama and niyama). This allows the student to be free from incurring new karmas, new entanglements that distract the student from the Goal. The student must then purify and strengthen the nervous system so that more energy can divinize the mortal coil. The student then learns to concentrate for longer periods. This is when the student can enter sublime states that few can fathom. This is when the real fun begins. Yoga was designed for a different time and culture. See the timeless principles and ignore the bizarre. Buddha rejected the extreme elements of yoga and taught the middle path—so that the spirit may easily ascend the shushumna through grace. All religions agree on the importance of grace. Why? The ego cannot open the door. The door cannot be forced open by an act of willpower. The ego must be put aside to allow a higher Source to flow.
