WHY YOGIS CHOOSE MOUNTAINS WHILE MEDITATE

 

                    THE REASON YOGIS CHOOSE MOUNTAIN

                                    WHILE MEDITATE

                      WHY IS IT THAT YOGIS CHOOSE TO LIVE IN MOUNTAINS AND NOT IN THE PLAINS?

                         ANS :  JUST TO AVOID PEOPLE LIKE YOU, THAT'S ALL! WHY DO THEY CHOOSE MOUNTAINS? WHY NOT PLAINS, VALLEYS, OR COASTS? MEAN SEA LEVEL WOULD BE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE, BECAUSE YOU COULD LIVE WITH BARE MINIMUM. A SANYASI ON A BEACH WOULD BE JUST FINE, ISN'T IT?  NO EXTRA CLOTHING NEEDED, NO PROBLEM. IT WOULD BE VERY EASY. ON THE MOUNTAINS, IT IS VERY DIFFERENT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT, BUT THEY STILL CHOSE MOUNTAINS BECAUSE A MOUNTAIN IS A PLACE WHERE EARTH HAS RISEN TO REACH OUT TO YOU, SO THAT YOU DON'T ESCAPE.

                       A YOGI IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SMALL ENCLOSURES. A YOGI IS SOMEBODY WHO IS COMPLETELY RE-CREATING LIFE WITHING HIMSELF AND OUTSIDE OF HIMSELF. HE ALWAYS WANTS A PLACE WHICH IS SMALL IN SIZE, WHICH IS COMPACT, WHERE HE CAN CREATE HIS OWN KIND OF ENERGY AND HIS OWN KIND OF WORLD. IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM YOUR PERCEPTION, THE CAVE IS JUST A SMALL HOLE TO CRAWL INTO, BUT IN HIS EXPERIENCE IT IS BIGGER THAN THE WORLD, BECAUSE TIME AND SPACE IS AN ILLUSION CREATED BY YOUR MIND. WHAT IS SMALL, WHAT IS BIG, WHAT IS NOW, WHAT IS THEN, IS ALL THE ILLUSION OF THE MIND. ONCE A PERSON HAS TRANSCENDED THIS LIMITATION, HE CAN CREATE A WHOLE UNIVERSE IN HIS CAVE.

                    MOUNTAINS ARE A PLACE WHERE EARTH HAS RISEN UP IN SOME WAY. IF YOU BORE A HOLE INTO THE GROUND, DIG A WELL TRY TO STAY IN IT, IT WILL NOT BE COMFORTABLE FOR MANY REASONS. SLOWLY, YOU MUST BECOME A FROG BECAUSE IT WILL FILL UP. BUT A MOUNTAIN CAVEIS IN THE MOUNTAIN ITSELF. IT IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE YOU ARE ENVELOPED WITH EARTH ON ALL SIDES. THAT IS THE REASON WHY YOGIS ALWAYS CHOSE MOUNTAINS, NOT VALLEYS, NOT PLAINS, BECAUSE FOR THEIR WORK, THEY WANT TO BE SURROUNDED BY EARTH. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE BUILT THE DHYANALINGA LIKE A MOUND OF EARTH. IT IS SURROUNDED BY EARTH- THAT IS THE NEAREST THING THAT WE COULD DO.

                 A YOGI WANTS TO KEEP HIMSELF IN THAT KIND OF SITUATION WHERE HE IS SURROUNDED BY EARTH. A MOUNTAIN IS THE ONLY TOPOGRAPHY WHICH OFFERS CERTAIN OPPORTUNITIES. IT IS A CONSTANT REMINDER FOR THE BODY THAT THE PLAY OF ELEMENTS IN THE EARTH AND IN THIS BODY IS NOT DIFFERENT.

                      WALKING WITHOUT SLIPPERS

                    ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL THINGS IS THEY MUST WALK BAREFOOT FOR TWO HOURS ON THE EARTH AND PUT THEIR HANDS INTO THE EARTH. THAT IS THE BASIC EARLY MORNING TREATMENT FOR THEM. SO I SAID, "JUST GO OUT IN THE GARDEN AND ASK THEM WAHT IS THEIR AILMENT, THEY WILL EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE HERE". BECAUSE IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE, EVEN AMONG THE MEDICAL FRATERNITY, THAT YOUR BODY'S DEFENSE MECHANISM WORKS AT ITS BEST WHEN YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. IF YOU JUST LIE DOWN, THE BACTERIAL LEVEL IN THE BODY GOES UP PHENOMENALLY, AND YOUR BODY'S ABILITY TO HANDLE ITSELF COMES DOWN DRAMATICALLY. HORIZONTAL POSITIONS REDUCE THE WHOLE BODY'S ITEGRITY. THIS IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE SITTING IN VERTICAL POSTURES FOR HOURS AND HORUS, BECAUSE  THEY ARE REORGANIZING THEIR SYSTEM.

                           IF THE BODY IS DETERIORATING FOR SOME REASON, IF YOU COME IN CONTACT, WITH THE EARTH, THERE ARE MANY SADHANAS THAT CAN BE DONE TO HEAL IT.

                      IT YOU DO THE RIGHT KIND OF SADHANA, IF YOU ARE IN TOUCH WITH EARTH, EVEN IF YOU JUST WALK BAREFOOT IN YOUR GARDEN EVERY DAY FOR AN HOUR WHERE THERE ARE NO TICKS AND THORNS, WITHIN A WEEK'S TIME YOUR SENSE OF HEALTH WILL BE GREATLY ENHANCED. JUST TRY THIS AND SEE. GET OFF YOUR HIGH COT, JUST SLEEP ON THE FLOOR. YOU CAN CLEARLY NOTICE THAT THERE WILL BE GREAT SENSE OF HEALTH IN YOUR BODY.

                       THIS IS THE REASON WHY IN THE INDIAN TRADITION, WE WERE ALWAYS TOLD TO EAT ON THE FLOOR AND SLEEP ON THE FLOOR. WHATEVER WE DO, WE SIT ON THE FLOOR, NOT BECAUSE WE CANNOT AFFORD A COT, BUT SIMPLY BECAUSE IN THE FIRST ONE-AND-A-HALF FEET FROM THE EARTH,THE THINKNESS OF THE PRANIC VIBRATION IS A LOT MORE THAN IT IS ABOVE. AS IT GOES UP, IT BECOMES THINNER AND THINNER. THAT IS WHY EVEN IF WE PLACE A DEITY, WE DON'T PLACE HIM ON A GREAT ALTAR, WE PLACE HIM VERY CLOSE TO EARTH. WE BUILT VERY LARGE TEMPLES, SUCH MASSIVE STRUCTURES, SO IT WOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO RAISE A ONE-HUNDRED FOOT PLATFORM AND PUT HIM THERE, BUT HE IS ALWAYS PUT LOW DOWN, ALMOST TO THE GROUND OR SLIGHTLY UP. THIS IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PRANIC VIBRATIONS ARE BEST, LOW DOWN.

                       THAT IS WHY ALL SPIRITUAL BEINGS GENERALLY MOVE TO THE MOUNTAINS OR CAVES, THOUGH THE CONDITIONS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE, BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU A CLOSER CONTACT WITH THE EARTH. IF YOU MAKE A HOLE OR A CAVE IN IT, THE EARTH IS ON ALL SIDES.
