Dear Yoga friends,
Prana
the connecting link
between body and soul
Before the beginning there could only
be silence. When we see ourselves and
everything around, part of
manifestation, the question arise:
FROM WHERE DOES EVERYTHING APPEAR? As
far as I can speculate, everything
could only come out of the original
silence. We see an enormous
intelligence working in everything. I
can't avoid believing that what ever
came has certainly been created by
this intelligence.
SO FOR ME, intelligence is hidden in
silence! Everything is happening
through a certain process that is a
purposeful movement in succession. To
create a movement there need to be a
motivation and a force. Without force
nothing can move or generate. What
ever exists, needs power for its
sustenance.
I HAVE COME TO THE conclusion that
the force which creates, maintain and
destroy is Prana. In the human body,
prana functions through the process
of breathing.
YOU ARE A GREAT PULSATION! Emergence
and submergence. While you are
inhaling your whole being is
expanding and occupying a little more
space around you. While you are
exhaling you are giving back the
space which has been occupied by you.
The corresponding vibration of this
movement extends everywhere, in an
inconspicuous dimension.
YOU ARE EXPANDING and contracting
continuously. You are a pulsation in
the universe and therefore you exist
as a being on this earth. This
happens as a natural expression of
the intelligence.
THE WHOLE UNIVERSE may have emerged
from the silence as a pulsation and
will be submerged into the silence
governed by the same intelligence.
This I consider as a great Pranic
pulsation. You are part of this great
rhythm. Whoever understands the
secret of pulsation, according to
Spandan Upanishad, is free.
BEFORE THE GREAT SURPRISE you will
still have a chance. When you came
out of your mother's womb, you took
your first breath, and started a
process - the process of living. The
radical function of breathing is to
make you alive. This function of
breathing is continously on.
ONE DAY, THE BREATH certainly will go
out of you, as it happens in all
moments of your existence. One day it
will not come back to you and keep
you existing within your body, how
much you ever try to get it back.
What a great surprise! When it
happens you are dead.
THE WISE CONSIDER PRANA as the
connecting link between the body and
the soul. Before the great surprise
happens, by severing the connection,
you have a chance to see yourself. So
far the breath operates in our body
and you remain as a small drop in the
ocean of existence. There is no
doubt; the drop has all the qualities
of the ocean, in a subtle way. Take
the chance to see the drop fully and
understand it while you are alive.
SOMETIMES YOU MAY FEEL more than a
drop, an expanded drop, an enlarged
drop, a bubble. While you are the
bubble, try to understand, what makes
you so shining and big? Always you
are at the risk of a blast. Why fear
the blast which is the natural
consequence of the so called shining
assumption as a great bubble?
WHEN THE AIR WITHIN goes out, you are
not anymore a shining bubble, you are
the ocean itself. What happened to
the drop which modified itself into
the bubble? It has become the ocean.
It is all a question of awareness. If
you don't take the chance to see the
bubble, the enlarged drop from
within, when it breaks, you will not
understand that you are the ocean and
not the drop! That will be a great
missing. Missing of the whole!
ESSENTIAL BREATH - THE BASE OF YOUR
EXISTENCE! While you exist in this
body, and your breath being the
essential sustainer of your
existence, it is important for you to
know your essential breath. It is
like finding out the bubble which
reflects the whole existence, instead
of attempting to find out the whole
existence, which is an impossible
task. It is absolutely important to
feel the essential breath, which
stays at the very root beyond all
modifications.
THIS ESSENTIAL BREATH has all your
qualities. To get in contact with the
essential breath is almost like
coming back to once own home.
According to the change of
circumstances, the essential breath
changes constantly, to suit to the
changing conditions. It changes its
nature, quality and intensity,
according to change of situations.
TO GET IN CONTACT with the essential
breath means, you have reached the
very base of your existence.
BREATHING IS NOT a conscious
activity. It is an innate activity
which happens intelligently,
involuntarily, unconsciously. It
started by the first breath and
continues till you die. The essential
breath is modified according to your
placement, your situation in life,
your mood, your activity so on and so
forth.
THE BREATH IS VERY sensitive and
dynamic in its nature. We are moving
on this dynamic wheel. Prana gets
activated in your system through
breathing. It goes into each and
every cell of your body, and it goes
out into the Nature from where it
comes. During this process it will
forward what is liberated by you to
the plants.
THE VITAL SUPPORT for the vegetable
kingdom is carbon-di-oxide as oxygen
is for the animal kingdom and
hydrogen are for minerals. It goes
through each and every cell of the
plants. While it is in the body of
the plant, it gets converted into
food, with the support of sunlight,
water and minerals. There again a
great wonder happens, all dictated by
the intelligence! It appears as
grains, vegetables and fruits! When
they are ripe, the breeze takes it
down for you with abundant love!
You
are existing on this love!

I
have committed myself
to be available always for all
of you and share whatever I have understood during
the course of
journey of my life, both in the Indian spiritual Yoga traditions and
beyond, as a seeker. What we need in this
world is few individuals who could commit themselves to explore
their own inner world! It is really difficult to find few
of them.
However, I commit myself to be available always!
