Fifth principle WALK WITH THE FOREST OF KALPATARU TREESThe
Kalpataru Tree is the mythical tree that fulfill desires. The
tree is the symbol of our identity and its potential. The
roots are our deeper spiritual dimensions. The
trunk is our constitution. The
branches are our abilities and skills. The
leaves represent our actions. And
the fruits manifest our achievement. Self-realization
creates a living forest of marching self-fulfilling trees. Spontaneous
union brought forward by the Kundalini integrates the inner yoga and
the external yoga, the yoga of union and contemplation with the union
in action. The
first movement expresses introspection, the second expresses manifestation. Both
are necessary for the unfolding of our complete potential. Introspection
reveals what we are and by manifesting it we share our spiritual qualities
with others . It
is the movement of the attention toward the roots. The
roots capture the energy of our deeper self and send it though the Ida
Nadi to the branches and the leaves. The
purpose of the inner yoga is to access the supply of the energy of the
earth. Meditation
represents the movement of the attention inside, a phenomenon, which
is possible, only when the awakening of the Kundalini sucks the attention
inside. Action
represents the movement of the attention toward the outside universe. The
leaves capture the energy of the sun and send it through Pingala Nadi
to the
whole tree. The
purpose of the external yoga is to access the energy of the sun. These
energy flows are necessary for an harmonious growth. The
balance between the two movements is important. If
the branches grow too big, the tree loaded by the overgrowth of the
ego will be uprooted at the first storm. If
the roots do not grow, the tree will die. But
if the tree grows tall and strong, he is a lord of the landscape and
gives shelter
to the creatures of the forest. Homo
sapiens draw energy chiefly from the outside dimension of existence
and its creation, the modern world, threatens to be uprooted. Antar
yoga grounds our attention and identity in
the vertical dimension of our spiritual inner being. Meditation
fosters the vertical growth of our being, reaching further into its
depths. The
outside world is the water, the inside world is the sponge. The
inner world and its energy catalyzed by the rising sap Kundalini, is
more powerful. It
is emitted from the personality of a realized person on the surrounding
water and it subtly influences the outside. We
absorb almost effortlessly. The
inner world is the water, the outside world is the sponge. At
the core of the inner world resides the Self, which is approached through
a loving heart. The
capacity to channel deeper spiritual energies toward the outside world
manifest
the “horizontal” growth of his personality. Such
a personality is charismatic and emits love and generates togetherness
and companionship. We
transform almost effortlessly. Verily
we absorb and we transform. A
realized soul excels in creativity. They
create serenity, have healing power, and can raise the Kundalini. They
call for reverence among animals and can influence weather patterns. In
the same way, the tree needs to feed both from the earth and from the
sun, Homo
spiritualis needs to balance both antar yoga and karma yoga in a holistic
manner. The
symbiotic relationship between the horizontal and vertical movements
means the birth of collective consciousness, which will revolutionalize
social psychology. All
the spokes are connecting to the hub. |
