Nada Yoga VI - Elements


Nada yoga is the study of Brahman, found in ether, the fifth element, which controls all the other four elements. Ether is higher than air as it contains the air, air is higher than fire because it can blow fire, fire is higher than water because fire can heat up water, and water is higher than earth because it cools the earth. By properties, each element is superior, or lighter than the other. However each has a purpose. We live on earth by water, most foods have high amount of water in them. We cannot live without air, which is needed to cool off our internal energies, or prana. When we are in a state of samadhi, we live in the astral, which is ether. Many amazing things are discovered there. Depending on our paths of life, we all receive tremendous gifts. Life is ever changed, for the better. The growth that takes place is enormous. A complete change of personality occurs. We get to see the whole Creation, through a brilliant eye. Our intuition grows enormously and so does our heart. We are ever eager to share these experiences with the ones that are ready to receive it. The blessing are uncountable and eternal. Same say the life of sannyasin is best, when we leave everything and live in God. However the great gurus teach us something else. We need to come back down from samadhi and help our fellow beings. The coming back from samadhi is tricky because it is not us that are running the show, rather God with help working of the divine mother. There are many difficulties encountered, however each one it's own blessing. Huge amount of karma gets resolved at an exponential rate, but also the inner guru direction to where we are needed. The Divine thoughts are now heard easily, and it becomes much easier to make the right choices. We can't change the world, but can change ourselves. Our actions then in return change others, but this time everything is done in the light of God. In Samadhi, everything is relative to the sound of silence, the sound of ether or God. While various events are happening, good or bad, the aspirant is constantly releasing the energy into Brahman. As a way to release our whole blue print or super conscious state and merging with Brahman. All yoga, all mantras, all meditation and contemplation is done in the nada yoga, anahata nada. The aspirant sees many visions of devas, teachers, Devi, creation gods, and God himself talks to the aspirant in the form of a guru. The highest samadhi had a guru present with the jiva all the time, and His voice is constantly heard, the communication bi-directional. Every action is carefully calculated and results are given up to God, that is using these actions to build the maya, and super consciousness. All the knowledge of the universe is opened to the practitioner. Everything is sacred. All our energy in our body is marvelously designed. Constant prayers are needed for all lifetimes and beings that we encountered. Even so that we have to make harsh decisions sometimes, the heart of God is still within the practitioner, melting when needed to Love. The whole spectrum of psychic energies open up. Through fasting and vegan diets, the sensitivity of the individual increases, hence continue to have profound experiences. Various elements are studied. It is important to study air and water, two elements that we are having direct physical experience with. Ether, or Brahman contains the air, hence when the ether is observed in light of air, or meditation on air, Brahman or ether glows. Air is also connected to the heart. From a person in samadhi, this experience is like putting the foot on earth the first time. In return, the sound of OM or anahata nada becomes much louder because in this process, all our worldly energies dissipate. There is no fear. A person back to physical senses from the world of samadhi is here for a reason, to continue helping others reach there as well.
