Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga

Viac o knihe

In India, candidates seeking initiation into "Raja Yoga" receive lessons from Yogi Masters aimed at enlightening them about their Real Self and imparting secret knowledge for developing consciousness of their true identity. Candidates must first master this instruction, as further teachings are withheld until they achieve a conscious realization of their Actual Identity. Without this awakening, they cannot comprehend their source of power or feel the underlying Will that is central to "Raja Yoga." The Yogi Masters identify two degrees of awakening consciousness: the first, "the Consciousness of the 'I'," allows candidates to recognize their existence as independent of the physical body, affirming their real life beyond bodily destruction. The second, "the Consciousness of the 'I AM'," connects individuals to Universal Life, fostering a sense of unity with all existence. These stages of consciousness unfold for those who pursue "The Path," sometimes suddenly, other times gradually, often aided by the practices of "Raja Yoga." An affirmation encourages individuals to recognize their soul's connection to the outer world, develop their senses, and remain receptive to knowledge, emphasizing that the Universe is their home to explore.
