Before manifesting creation into the physical dimension, i.e. from the avyakt to the vyakt, divinity needed to perfect the ‘self-destructive mechanism’ to ensure that the creation remained forever in motion, because the law of the opposites has to be in play for anything to be given a body or, in other words, created.
What’s created has to be destroyed and what’s destroyed has to be created again. What we see as destruction is actually not destruction, but energy changing form. The modern science calls it an energy and the Vedic seer calls it prana. Both agree that it cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes form.
Creation cannot stay fixed at one point, it either goes up (evolves) or comes down (devolves).
So then... why yoga? Simply because the inherent mechanism of Patanjali Ashtang Yoga is yoga chitta vritti nirodha, that is, blockage of the five-fold distractions of the mind, which lead to the increase in asmita (ego) giving the feeling of “I the all-powerful”, which leads to avidya (wrong perception of reality) and eventually, destruction of the soul. Take a look at any major religion of the world—Christianity talks of reaping what you sow, Islam preaches the concept of Reham coming from Allah who is Rahim and Karim for self-betterment, Sikhism prescribes Daswant and the Vedic seer gives the Law of Karma. All agree in principle, yet very few follow it, across religions.
The uninitiated can understand this through the pain-wave theory by a modern scientist, Dr M M Bajaj, who statistically proved that in places where pain is generated in humans or animals, poverty and calamities strike, and people are full of ailments and unhappy.
When you give pain, there is a mechanism in creation which ensures you get pain. Similarly, if you destruct another body, a mechanism sets into play ensuring your personal painful destruction.
Perhaps that’s the reason why the founders of all the major religions did nothing for themselves and till their last breath performed service and charity, spreading happiness in the world and reducing its pain. Today, if you meditate on them, you see them in higher dimensions as lights or with glow around them. If you don’t, then do the practice of sanatan kriya, it will open your energy channels and you will see.
Recently all the 12 districts of Kerala were declared drought-hit. Also the incidence of cancer in the state is reported to have shot up by 500 per cent in just the last two decades.
The way dogs and certain other animals have been brutally killed since the last few years, phenomenal pain has been generated, and so the destruction expected is also phenomenal. God’s Own Country today gives the feel of the devil’s backyard with mutilated bodies of animals, especially dogs, heaped and shamelessly displayed.
The mechanism of destruction has set into motion... Believe if you believe in any religion, don’t believe and wait a while, I assure, you will believe. The Law of Karma is a law, not theory, proved over centuries again and again.
