|| Path of Devotion - 2 || In this state of satiation , the venom she spits , turns into nectar and sustain life . The fiery venom which comes out cools internally the body , which regains once again the strength which it had lost . The nervous flow stops and the nine life - breaths except Prawn cease and then the body too loses its functions . Then the breaths flowing through the left and right nostrils mingle , the knots of the three lower nerve - centers become loose , and the six nerve - centers become dis-joined . The sun and moon currents of breath , which flow through the nostrils , are so subtle that they are not felt on the fiber held before them . The sparkle of intellect then ceases and the fragrance in the nose , along with the serpent power , enters the spinal cord . The cask of moon - nectar situated above , tilts on one side , and the nectar begins to flow into the mouth of the Kundalini . The nectar fills her and then spreads to the whole body and is soaked therein by the aid of the Prawn . As wax , placed in a red - hot mold melts and fills it up , so the body looks as if luster covered by skin , has descended in the human form . As the sun , hidden behind the cloak of a cloud , comes out in full splendor when the cloud is scattered so the scales of skin , which seemed dry , fall off like husk , and then the body assumes a complexion so comely as though it is fashioned out of crystal or has sprouted from a gem , or dressed up with the red hue of the evening sky , or it is the figure taken on by the inner light . then his body looks as if it is filled with red pigment and nectar or it appears as though it is peace incarnate . It is like a picture of delight , or a form of great happiness , or a full - grown bush of contentment , or a bud of gold - flowered Champak { michelia Champaca } or a burst of nectar or an orchard laden with tender leaves , or like the moon embellished with the autumnal dew , or like a statue made of luster sitting on a seat , when the Kundalini drinks the moon elixir . Then even Death - god stands in awe of that figure . Then the Yogi can see beyond the seas , hear the sounds of heaven , and comprehend the desire of an ant . he can ride on the wind , walk on water without wetting his feet , and in this way he acquires many miraculous powers . Holding the hand of Prawn and climbing the steps in the region of hearts , the Kundalini reaches the heart center through the spinal cord . This Kundalini is the mother of the world , who illumines the Self and gives shade to the sprouted seed of the universe . It is the embodiment of the formless Brahm , the cask of Lord Shiva , the main spring of the sacred syllable OM . When this youthful Kundalini enters the heart - center , she begins to utter unbeaten sounds . The sounds fall slightly on the ears of intelligence , which is very close to the serpent power . When the Kundalini enters the lotus of the heart - center she looks like a gold - chain or like water flowing from a spring of light . then all of a sudden she subsides into the calyx of the heart , and her form merges into the formless Shakti . Although she is called Shakti , she is still in the form of gas { Vayu } . At that time one is not aware of the Nad , or the Bindu or of the Kalajyoti . So she is the crucible in which the gross elements crumble . That the body should be swallowed by the body is the Natha creed and its purport is disclosed here by Lord Krishna , the incarnation of Vishnu { chapter 6 ; verse 14 } . Thus , constantly applying his mind to Me , the Yogi of disciplined mind attains everlasting peace , consisting of Supreme Bliss , which abides in Me . Arjuna , when the Shakti loses her power , the body becomes bereft of form and becomes invisible to the world . But then the body looks like a banana tree which , shedding its outer skin stands bare in its core or like the sky which has put forth limbs . When the body assumes this form , the Yogi is called the sky - rover .When he attains to this state , his body works wonders in the world . When he walks leaving a trail behind him , then the eight miraculous powers wait upon him at every step . But of what avail are these powers to us ? O Arjuna, the elements of earth , water and fire get dissolved in the body . The earth is dissolved by water , water by fire and the wind dissolves the fire in the heart . Then the wind alone remains , but in the form of the body ; and that too becomes absorbed in the sky of the Brahmarandhra { Astral brain , Thousand -petaled lotus of light } .She retains her Shakti { coiled Energy , when awakened , rises to the brain and is transformed into the Bliss of Spirit } form until she becomes one with Brahm . || OM TAT SAT ||
