Dhyan Yog, Bhakti
Yog, Gyan Yog and Karma Yog are four primary yogic paths invented by great
yogis, ardent devotees of God, as a medium for purification for human beings. We,
being devotees of God choose one among these various yogic paths and live our
lives getting disciplined in any of these various yogic paths to purify our
lives and to fulfill that one objective
we have been born to fulfill, that of uniting with God. Now! is it possible to
totally purify ourselves and to fulfill that superhuman objective of uniting
with God by employing impermanent human
tools as the human brain and the physical body? It can be accepted that we can
superficially purify and enlighten our lives by doing the necessary homework on
the intellectual, action and devotion level by being strict disciplinarians
about Gyan, Karma and Bhakti Yog respectively. But do we think it is possible
to completely purify and accomplish that ultimate task in our lives, of uniting
with God, by instrumenting a bogus aspect
as the human mind and a transient form as the physical body? Many of us
may be completely caught offguard if we come to know that it is only after
transcending the sixth plane that we become permanently and everlastingly
united with God. Aspiring to unite with God and thinking to have united with
the various man-made Gods through Bhakti, Gyan or Karma Yog sounds superficial
but establishing an everlasting union with the most Supreme Godhead through
Dhyan Yog is the correct and valid method. Seeking to realise God through
Bhakti, Gyan or Karma Yog is excavating a mine of gold but aspiring for an permanent realisation of and union with God through Dhyan Yog is stumbling
upon an infinite expanse of a mine of diamonds.
One can come to a
realisation of God through the human intellect, the chief instrument of Gyan
Yog, only on a superficial level. What use will there be of the powers of the
human intellect when one cannot apply the knowledge to find permanent solutions fully every time one is
faced with adverse situations? How can spiritual knowledge realised by great
yogis be applied with the fragile, dualistic and impure human mind and
permanent solutions found when the human mind has a habit of getting affected
by even the mild of mental disturbances? This would be something like Mahatma
Gandhi pouring through the Bhagavad Gita every time he lost his peace of mind. The
powers of the permanent laws and knowledge realised through Dhyan Yog is such
that one will have instantaneous solutions the very moment one is faced with a
crisis. Once the soul is awakened and
awarenes fully restored, it establishes spiritual laws and an infinite source
of knowledge in us in a permanent manner. These laws of life makes us so
adamant about abiding by it fully that you will have no problems and you will
continue loving your wife even if she doublecrosses you and you catch her
red-handed making love to another man. Do you think there would be any value
for academic degrees when God will instill in you an Infinite source of
knowledge the moment you transcend the higher spiritual planes? What more could
you ever want when you can realise an Infinite source of knowledge without
investing a single penny? You can even be a pioneer in spiritual theories by
getting to realise new theories about spiritualism. I myself have realised
three theories till date and don’t take this scribes words for granted because
you too have that potential and that calibre to become a shining star and
confirm a place on Gods walk of fame. This scribe is only making you realise
that you too are like a Jesus and Moses and that you too can be like them.
The
present day yogi should be an action oriented yogi. Gone are the days
when the yogis would retire to the jungles, caves, deep into the mountains and
himalayas to meditate. Still, many, lead a married life and it would be great
injustice to your soulmate and children if you abandon them for your spiritual
pursuits when spiritual goals can be met while continuing a happy, conjugal
life. In fact, the intimate physical union you share with your soulmate speeds
up spiritual growth if you happen to be a spiritual aspirant. A passive life with lack of action and an
inactive role is not recommended from meditators. Inactivity is akarma. This is
the sole reason why meditators lead an active life, because a genuine yogi
never abstains from actions, rather binds oneself to karma or action without
which human life is unsustainable. The
moment we are born, we are bound to karmic bondage of life and we are compelled
to cater to the needs of our life, the
wheel of action. The heights and perfection of the awareness that develops from
the fifth plane depends upon the quality of an active life you have led. The
more active you are during your meditative growth process the more sharpened
your awareness will be. So now we have seen, it is not only with Gyan Yog, but
even the qualities of Karma Yog can be cultivated and exercised if one adheres
to the path of Dhyan Yog.
Genuine devotion to
God cannot be developed through Bhakti Yog. The devotion developed from a
bogus, impermanent, dualistic and impure aspect as the human mind can in no
possible means develop an unflinching, unwavering and authentic devotion needed
to devote ourselves to the most Supreme Godhead. The normal human mind which
has a false existence is pseudo, is impermanent because it can be transcended
through Dhyan Yog, is dualistic because the human brain is dual and this nature can be transcended and
the non-dual nature attained by our spiritual efforts and a hundred percent impure because purity of thought can be only contacted by
reaching the source of thought or the fourth plane. So we can conclude, it is
only by exercising the powers of Dhyan Yog that we can turn ourselves into
genuine devotees of God. Until we don’t become successful in
awakening and restoring our most prized awareness, getting devoted to God in a
genuine manner will be like a soothsayer forecasting that you will win a
trillion dollar jackpot in a casino in Las Vegas. We know that winning a
trillion dollar jackpot is nothing but a joke played by an unrealistic bloke. Devotion
from an impermanent human mind is pseudo because the very nature of
human mind is false and transient, devotion from the human mind is dualistic
and unstable because the very nature of dualism can shatter the devotion of the so-called most devout devotee the moment
great suffering is contacted, and the impure human mind cannot infuse and
instill pure devotion in us because the very nature of the human mind is impure
and that purity of thought is reserved only for those who realise that they are
a ray of God. We have now seen that the quality of Bhakti Yog can be developed in its
most purest and genuine form only through Dhyan Yog.
The wisest decision
any human being can make is opt for Dhyan Yog since all the divine qualities of
Gyan, Bhakti and Karma Yog can be exercised and perfected through the most
supreme yogic path, Dhyan Yog. Why need we follow a Gyan, Bhakti or Karma Yog
when all the qualities and characteristics of these yogic paths are present in
and can be developed and perfected through the most superior yogic path, Dhyan
Yog.The individual, societal and the major world problems can never be solved
without exercising and restoring soul awareness and Self nature cannot
be restored without exercising the powers of Dhyan Yog. This scribe does not
need to prove any point and get it across to the masses because the present age
of Enlightment and the coming ages will verify that the only means for the
survival, upliftment, completion and
success of human evolution will be
through the process and powers of Dhyan Yog. Therfore the present age of Enlightment and the coming future ages is definitely going to prove that the
most supreme yogic path is none other than Dhyan Yog.
