PRACTICAL LESSONS IN YOGA
So it all depends upon the degree of purity, stage of evolution, the amount of purification of
the Nadis and the Pranamaya Kosha, and above all the degree of Vairagya and yearning for
liberation.
Shat-Chakras, Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna Nadis
Develop virtues like generosity, forgiveness and so forth. Mere Yogic Kriyas alone will not
help you much. Do self-analysis and eradicate your faults and evil habits. Rectify your defects like
selfishness, pride, jealousy, hatred, etc. Develop your heart. Share what you have with others. Do
selfless service. Then alone you will get purity of mind.

THE SERPENTINE POWERS
In these days aspirants neglect these things and jump at once to do Yogic Kriyas for getting
Siddhis. It is a serious Himalayan blunder. They have the hopeless downfall sooner or later.
Therefore be careful. Mere Yogic Kriyas cannot bring in much results. Purification of the heart is
very necessary. Without it no success in Yoga is possible. You should free yourself from lust,
anger, greed, jealousy, hatred, egoism, vanity, attachment, delusion, etc. This is more difficult than
the control of the heart or the practice of Nauli or the uniting of Prana and Apana.
Kundalini can be awakened by various methods such as Japa, devotion, Vichara (enquiry of
Who am I ), Asana, Kumbhaka, Bandhas, Mudras, and above all by the Grace of the Guru. You
must become perfectly desireless and free from all earthly longings.
Many persons jump with curiosity and expectation of acquiring occult powers and rousing
the Kundalini. They do Sirshasana and various other Asanas and Pranayama. But no one sticks to
the practice for a sufficient length of time. They leave off the practice after a few months. This is not
good. Application and tenacity, patience and perseverance are essential for sure success and
acquisition of Siddhis.
My advice is: Never care for Siddhis or quick awakening of the Kundalini. Have devotion to
God. Have perfect trust in Him. Have the spirit of service to humanity. The Kundalini will awaken
by itself.
Awakening of Kundalini is not so easy as you may imagine. It is extremely difficult. When
all desires die out, when the mind becomes absolutely pure, when all the senses are subdued, when
you attain one-pointedness of mind to a considerable degree, when all the ideas of egoism and
mine-ness melt away, the Kundalini will awaken by itself. Then alone awakening of the
Kundalini is also beneficial. Therefore purify yourself first. Have full trust and faith in the Mother.
She will do the needful for you at the proper time.
Be not troubled. Be not anxious, my dear friends and brothers! A glorious day is waiting to
dawn on you. You will shine with full powers, nay, you will become God Himself. Laugh at all
troubles and obstacles and keep your eye on the Kundalini-Sakti all the twenty-four hours. Do all
you can in order to rouse her up. If purification is ordained, purify you must. What other alternative
is there? Therefore do purity yourself.
O Mother Kundalini! Having pierced the six Chakras, Thou sportest with Thy consort
Paramasiva in the thousand-petalled lotus of the Sahasrara Chakra all alone! Salutations unto Thee!
Guide me. Give me Light and Knowledge!

Lesson XII
SPIRITUAL VIBRATIONS AND AURA
Vibration means motion. The Lord willed and there was a vibration. The world was
projected. The sound OM emanated. The three qualities viz., Sattva, Rajas and Tamas
differentiated themselves from the unmanifested. There was a vibration in the ether and the other
four elements came forth. Through the process of quintuplication or mixing up of the elements the
phenomenal world came into being.
The whole universe is full of molecular vibrations. Any word or Mantra uttered silently or
forcibly produces molecular waves, gross, subtle, or more subtle. These waves spread throughout
the universe. It is said that the radiowaves move round the world seven times a second.
Everything in this world, both visible and invisible, constantly vibrates. All particles of
matter are in a state of vibration. From the tiniest atom to the mightiest planet all things are in a state
of vibration. The atoms of the human body are in constant vibration. Different rates of vibration
balanced in the cosmic rhythm produce, before us the magnanimous world. Matter is being acted
upon by energy and innumerable forms are produced. Forms break down incessantly and new
