THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
GURU ❤AND TEACHER ❤
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GURU AND A TEACHER IS JUST THIS, A TEACHER WILL TEACH YOU METHODS WITH WHICH YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR ANNAMAYA KOSHA, MANOMAYA KOSHA AND PRANAMAYA KOSHA, BUT HE CANNOT TOUCH YOUR VIGNAMAYA KOSHA. A GURU WORKS ON YOUR VIGNANAMAYA KOSHA. ONCE HE TOUCHES THAT, EVERYTHING IS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY BECAUSE THIS CHANGE IS PERMANENT. IT IS BEYOND THE PHYSICAL DIMENSION, AND IT IS ALWAYS PERMANENT.
THE FIFTH LAYER IS CALLED ANANDAMAYA KOSHA WHICH MEANS "BLISS BODY". DOES IT MEAN THERE IS A BUBBLE OF BLISS SITTING INSIDE OF YOU? NO, THIS IS A DIMENSION BEYOND THE PHYSICAL. ANYTHING THAT IS NON-PHYSICAL CAN NEITHER BE DEFINED NOR DESCRIBED BY US, SO WE CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF OUR EXPERIENCE. WE ONLY KNOW THAT WHEN WE TOUCH IT, WE BECOME BLISSFUL, SO FROM OUR EXPERIENCE, WE SAY THIS IS BLISS BODY. IT DOES NOT MEAN ITS NATURE IS BLISS, IT IS JUST THAT IT MAKES US BLISSFUL.

THE QUALITY OF HIS LIFE IS NOT DECIDED BY WHAT IS OUTSIDE, BUT BY WHAT IS WITHIN HIM. THIS HAS BEEN COMPLETELY MISINTERPRETED. PEOPLE CONCLUDED THAT IF YOU WANT TO BE SPIRITUAL, YOU MUST GIVE UP EVERYTHING OUTSIDE. IT IS NOT ABOUT GIVING UP OR NOT GIVING UP. WHETHER YOU ARE SPIRITUAL OR OTHERWISE, YOU ANYWAY BREATHE, EAT FOOD AND DRINK WATER. WHETHER YOU EAT GOOD FOOD OR BAD FOOD IS THE ONLY CHOICE YOU HAVE. SO IT IS NOT ABOUT GIVING UP. IT IS A SHIFT OF FOCUS WHERE YOU SEE THAT IF YOU DO NOT HANDLE THE INTERNAL APPROPRIATELY, THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE CANNOT BE GOOD.
❤❤
THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE IS DECIDED NOT BY WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES YOU WEAR, WHAT KIND OF CAR YOU DRIVE OR WHAT KIND OF HOME YOU LIVE IN, BUT BY HOW PEACEFUL AND JOYFUL YOU ARE WITHIN YOURSELF. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS DONE TO GET THERE. IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN, EVERYTHING ELSE GOES WASTE.
THE SPINE (IDA AND PINGALA)
👀
WITHIN THE SPINE, IF YOU KNOW ITS PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION, YOU WILL KNOW THERE ARE TWO HOLES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINE WHICH ARE LIKE CONDUIT PIPES FOR ALL THE NERVES TO PASS. THESE ARE THE IDA AND THE PINGALA, THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT CHANNELS.
IN THE PRANAMAYA KOSHA OR THE ENERGY BODY, THERE ARE 72000 NADIS. NADIS ARE PATHWAYS OR CHANNELS IN THE SYSTEM. IF YOU CUT THIS BODY AND SEE, YOU WILL NOT SEE THEM. BUT AS YOU BECOME MORE AWARE OF THE MOVEMENT OF ENERGY, YOU WILL SEE ENERGY IS NOT MOVING AT RANDOM, IT IS MOVING IN PARTICULAR PATTERNS. THERE ARE 72000 DIFFERENT WAYS IN WHICH THE ENERGY MOVES. THESE 72000 NADIS SPRING FROM THREE BASIC NADIS - IDA, PINGALA, AND SUSHUMMA.

IDA AND PINGALA REPRESENT THE TWO DIMENSIONS OF LIFE WHICH WE SYMBOLIZE AS FEMININE AND MASCULINE. THIS IS NOT IN TERMS OF GENDER OR ABOUT BEING MALE OR FEMALE, BUT IN TERMS OF CERTAIN QUALITIES IN NATURE. CERTAIN QUALITIES IN NATURE HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS MASCULINE, WHILE OTHER QUALITIES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS FEMININE. YOU MAY BE A MAN, BUT IF YOUR IDA IS MORE PRONOUNCED, THE FEMININE MAY BE DOMINANT IN YOU. YOU MAY BE A WOMAN, BUT IF YOUR PINGALA IS MORE PRONOUNED, THE MASCULINE MAY BE DOMINANT IN YOU. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU BEING A MAN OR A WOMAN. WHEN WE SAY MASCULINE AND FEMININE, ON THE LEVEL OF YOUR MIND, PINGALA REPRESENTS THE LOGICAL DIMENSION OF THE MIND, IDA REPRESENTS THE INTUITIVE DIMENSION OF THE MIND.
