Detachment Is Key To Life

by Yogi Ashwini

We all know that we come in this world alone and go back alone. We will not be accompanied by anyone, no matter how close or dear we are to them, or they to us. Pause a minute and think: A majority of our problems stem from our near and dear ones. That is, relatives, immediate family, enemies and friends, not from someone unknown. You will also find that the rootcause of arguments, fights, emotional turmoil, congestions, broken relationships and business losses are also these very people. So it is safe to conclude that for the greater part of our lives we get troubled, not by absolute strangers but by people who are known to us.

Your relationship with every individual is a result of one basic principle — as you sow so shall you get. It is a mere give and take. This give and take is a payback of our karma from our previous births and from this lifetime. You get associated with people because they need something from you and you need something from them too. Without any level of dependency or give and take you will not remain in touch with people. The amazing fact is that you remain caught in this cycle of give and take lifetime after lifetime. This is the state of the common man; he forgets that he is alone, he then gets troubled by those seeming to be close to him. Such a turbulent life leads to innumerable ailments and diseases, hyperactivity and a general state of dishevelment.
In contrast, a practitioner of Sanatan Kriya, who follows the path of yoga and sadhana, reaches a state of detachment wherein he does not get affected by anyone or any situation or for that matter by anything that happens around him. Neither is the practitioner troubled by anyone nor does he trouble anyone. While this state is devoid of emotional congestion it does not imply that he is missing out on any aspect of life. It’s like how it happens in a videogame. Once you have crossed a particular level you won’t go back to it for there are better, more exciting levels ahead. Similarly, while the body indulges in pleasures, it is merely experiencing the pleasure and not attaching itself to it.
Yogic techniques and practices prescribed in Sanatan Kriya reveal that the rootcause of a majority of problems lies in our Surya Chakra located in the solar plexus region. This chakra is highly volatile and forms connections with everyone we meet in our daily life. These connections can be seen clairvoyantly, as tubes or strings. Constant exchange of energy of varying frequencies through these connections between people slowly congest the free flow of energy.

We all know that your body is like a beautiful flowing river of energy called prana. And any congestions or blockages in this channel will obstruct the flow of prana. Interestingly, this is also the region where the thymus gland, responsible for immunity and preservation, is located and also all organs that preserve the body. Due to congestions the chakra gets into a state of imbalance and may get depleted or hyperactive. These etheric congestions manifest on the physical in the form of shortness of breath or deranged stomach. Physical ailments like asthma, high blood pressure and arthritis follow and if this imbalance continues for a long period of time it can cause irreversible damages, even cancers! The very fact that you would not find anyone who is emotionally congested (for a period of time) and yet remains healthy in the long run substantiates the above. Detachment is the key.

It has been observed that regular practice of Sanatan Kriya helps decongest the chakras and brings a beautiful flow and balance of prana in the being. Relief from chronic ailments happens to be one of the byproducts of this practice.
