I sit in that asan for long hours every day. I do not expect normal people, who try to understand everything intellectually, to have an experience of that energy because though the intellect and the brain understand the energy, they lack the experience of the same and hence cannot relate to it. I just made her experience, for a while, a higher dimension. Hence the reaction.
Yog is a subject of energy. A yogi relates to an individual not by appearance, skin colour, birth or intelligence, but by energy. Every one is born with a specific energy pattern depending on karmic balance. A guru upgrades that energy. The intellect will not necessarily understand the process.
What makes one person different from the other is the frequency of that energy. There are grosser and subtler frequencies, and the subtlest of the subtlest, sukshma iti sukshma, which we call God.
The grosser the energy, the closer one is to the physical creation, the five senses and their related experiences. People with such patterns try to assess everything using those senses. They are enamoured with physical power, high position and the socio-administrative structure. They are far away from the reality of creation because their egos and minds do not let them access or experience subtler forces.
At a different spectrum of energy, one assesses things around with logic and intellect. We must understand intellect is the barrier between the real and the unreal. Assessing the guru using intellect is foolish and takes you away from the subject because if you could understand the guru with your intellect, you would have been a guru yourself.
At a yet different energy frequency, the intuitive mind comes into play, where a person is able to look beyond what can be understood intellectually. The more intuitive you are, the higher the brain functions. Intuition is beyond logic and intellect. It is a higher state of mind which gets activated by the guru’s touch.
Finally, there is subtlest frequency—the realm of Divinity. People who fall in the same energy spectrum relate to each other, unlike those in a different spectra. It is for this reason only that even though God is everywhere, He cannot be experienced by ordinary men, because there is a difference in energy frequency. Such people cannot even fathom the force of guru. They take the guru to be another socio-economic position, a little lower than, for example, the President of the Chamber of Commerce.
In order to have an experience of yog, one needs to merge with the frequency of that energy. Just like a radio set has to be tuned to the frequency of the channel, similarly your frequency should be tuned to receive the shaktis, the devs and devis. The Guru has to be approached with humility, keeping aside the power your chair commands, because it will end shortly while the Guru’s force has no limit. Just sitting in presence of a guru and connecting will give you the desired experience. A guru is not meant to perform antics on stage or speak big things. The look of a Guru and the silence which he exudes are enough. It’s important to connect with both. Then experiences of the subtler world will happen. Sitting and waiting to hear or see things which one understands intellectually is futile.
Specific yogic sadhanas like Sanatan Kriya when performed in tandem with charity and service as prescribed by one’s Guru work to upgrade the frequency of an individual.
