Yogiraj Siddhanath, a master of Kundalini Kriya Yoga, shares his enlightening perspective on spiritual perfection. Dispelling the common misconception, he clarifies that spiritual perfection isn’t a finite state but an ongoing journey of refining consciousness.

What is True Spiritual Perfection?

Yogiraj explains that true spiritual perfection is akin to stilling the ripples of thought in the mind until a state of thoughtless awareness is achieved. This spiritual perfection involves a transformative alchemy, where the mind reaches Samadhi, the body transmutes into energy, energy into light, and light into pure consciousness. This spiritual perfection is a gradual process of dissolving duality and relativity into ultimate reality.

The Yogic Path to Spiritual Perfection

He outlines the classical Ashtanga Yoga as a path towards this spiritual perfection. It begins with ethical discipline (Yama and Niyama), physical postures (Asanas) for a healthy body to support the ascent of consciousness, breath control (Pranayama) to manage life force energy, withdrawal of senses (Pratyahara) through a magnetized spine, focused attention (Dharana or concentration), effortless flow of concentration (Dhyana or meditation), and ultimately, union with the divine (Samadhi), the pinnacle of spiritual perfection.

The Mind’s Role in Attaining Spiritual Perfection

Yogiraj emphasizes the crucial role of the mind in achieving spiritual perfection. He describes the mind’s layers – the recording Manas, the ego-driven Ahamkara, and the intuitive Buddhi. Overcoming the ego, the sense of “I” and “mine,” is a significant hurdle in the pursuit of spiritual perfection. Constant self-inquiry and detachment from egoic identifications are essential to purify the mind and progress towards spiritual perfection.

The Dawn of a New Humanity

Addressing humanity’s evolution, Yogiraj highlights that while past development occurred through experience, we are now in a time where conscious effort and inner work, particularly in transcending the ego, are paramount for collective spiritual perfection. He emphasizes the unifying consciousness of humanity, breath, and the divine as the foundation for a new age of peace, where overcoming the limitations of the mind is the key to unlocking our inherent spiritual perfection.

Transcript of the interview

Yogiraj Siddhanath 0:00

People in the West, I encourage them. If they want yoga and spiritual perfection, they must have classes and education only concentration for concentration sake. In the grossest state of concentration and meditation, in this Samadhi, you enter the state of subatomic mind. That means the atoms of your body break up into electron protons and neutrons. When all form disappears, they go to a higher state of Samadhi. You are feel yourself in the birds, the bees, the flowers, the trees, the ocean, the sky and the clouds. You are in the highest state of a Smith Samadhi. You are in the state where you realize your soul essence, the Christ essence, the Krishna consciousness in all of creation. This is the purity of the mind. It creates such a tremendous power. But the mind has to go beyond power, obtaining everything you want. This can be done by the power of the soul, because now you are have purified and expanded your soul.

Thank you.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:21

It's an honor to have you today. You are in India. I'm in Norway, and I'm truly looking forward to speak with you. You You are a master of Kundalini Kriya Yoga. You have been experienced and attained bliss and spiritual perfection at three years old, and you have transformed millions of people's lives across the globe, sparking a light in their soul and planting a seed of being able to find that inner peace so we can find out peace in the globe today. Now I get curious about spiritual perfection. What is spiritual perfection?

Yogiraj Siddhanath 2:20

Spiritual perfection is a misnomer. It's a misused word. There can be no perfection and spirituality, because spirituality is eternal and infinite. Spiritual perfection, if you want spiritual perfection, you have to keep going on, affecting yourself, on and on. And in a limited sense, if you want to know the answer is that the human mind is like a lake, and the lake has ripples of thought, so stilling the ripples of thought in the mind's Lake completely where there is no thought at All, and then transforming that lake even into a further stillness of consciousness, means attaining to spiritual perfection. Now, the whole of creation, the whole of perfection, is the dance of nature. The dance is between gravity and mass. Everything in creation is made of mass, and this mass as it goes towards its perfection of gravity and pure consciousness. It transforms itself from matter to energy to thoughts to light to intuition and then to a pure, tranquil state of thoughtless awareness. This tranquil state of thoughtless awareness is called the perfection of the body, mind and soul, where your body, it is the the the spiritual perfection is like an alchemy of total transformation. Not does it only does it transform your, your mind into the state of Samadhi, but it transforms your, your body into energy, your energy into light, and your light into consciousness. This is called the the, the alchemy of total transformation in. Keeping with science, you see the law of conservation of mass into energy, into light, into consciousness, matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be transformed. As you perfect yourself, you refine not only your mind, but your emotions, your passions and your physical body and your physical body gradually through ages of evolution and through a continuous process of world cycles, you you are reborn more and more refined, till ultimately, after 1000s and 1000s of years, your physical body is transformed into your emotional aspect. Your emotional body becomes finer and astral. The astral body becomes causal and in energy. Energy transforms into light, and light transforms into pure consciousness. This is the alchemy of total transformation. So this is spiritual perfection in its in its real sense, that in the word spiritual perfection will come when all of relativity is transformed into reality, all of duality is transformed into singularity. It is a gradual process of transformation, but in the normal sense of spiritual perfection. In a limited sense, you can say when the human being, or the yoga aspirant, after ceaseless and years of practice of the science of yoga and meditation, attains to a state of Samadhi. What is Samadhi? Samadhi is a state of the perfection of yoga. Samadhi are various states of Samadhi, towards spiritual perfection. When you go towards spiritual perfection in yogic balance, you first do yam and niam yoga asanas, Yama Niyama. Don't stay up too late. Avoid alcohol and whiskey, avoid any sort of diet which upsets the tranquility of the mind, hot and chilly, spices. Then after do's and don'ts, you get to the body after diet. Do your yoga, the yoga asans, which the West is and and your countries are very fond of bend backwards, bend forwards, keep us a flexible spine and a healthy body, so that the consciousness can travel up the canal vertebrae, the hollow Sushumna nadi of the spine and get to consciousness. The Kundalini awakens the energy awakens transforming mass, and the energy takes that mass, transforms it into Shakti, Kundalini, and then she merges into consciousness, in a nutshell. So after that, you get to a subtler state of yoga. Then you get to yam. Niam ASAN, Pranayam. Now pranayam is a very important thing. Pranayam is not breathing. It is the life force energy control, which uses your inhaled and exhaled breath as a medium as electricity uses a wire. So the wire is your breath and the electricity is Pran, many people mistake the prawn for breath. It is not breath control. It is life energy control. Just as your electricity uses a wire as a medium of conveyance, so also life force energy, the life force current of Pran, and upon uses the breath as a media, as a conveyance. After you have perfected pranayama, your mind tends to still down. You go to the next stage. Your spine gets magnetized by a process of Pratyahara. That's the fifth stage of yoga, of perfection, towards spiritual perfection. Now the fifth stage, five sense telephones, sight, smell, taste, audition and touch. These are your five sensory telephones. They tend to go outwards and distract you from outward things. So to get a perfect concentration, you have to have the withdrawal of the five sense telephones into into magnetic spine. So when your spine gets magnetized by pranayam, you automatically fall into pratyaha, which is the withdrawal of the senses from the objects due to the magnetization of the spine. After this state, you. Of Pratyahara, you get to the state of concentration when all your senses are not distracted. Your senses are inward turned. Your mind is paying attention only to the inflowing and outflowing of breath. State of concentration. What is this? What is concentration? Concentration is the faculty of exclusive attention. Are you bind your mind to the object of your focus now letting your thoughts run away on if you if you're concentrating on a flame or an image of Saint Jesus of Krishna, suddenly you're concentrating, and there are some people outside, suddenly your concentration on Jesus varies, and it goes out and says, Hey, hello, how are you? Then you bring your concentration back again. Initially, it will run away from you, but you have to build your concentration in order to perfect your mind in order spiritual awareness. It's all a degree of refinement of your mind. The degree of your refinement of your mind depends upon the degree of concentration applied. So says the ancient yogic science of yoga, not yoga. Yoga means the physical exercise. That's the body yoga, but yoga is mind training and purification of the mind. Then when the mind is able to concentrate on one object without being distracted by any other thought, it's only on the thought of the Christ or the Krishna, there comes a little higher stage where you forget and you become one with the flow of concentration, when there is no effort of bringing your mind again and again to the focus of your concentration, and you are effortlessly flowing into the thought of Jesus, then there is a stage called meditation.

Dhyan is dharana, is concentration, and then you get into Dhyana. But when your concentration is flowing, your mind tends to purify itself more and more towards spiritual perfection. And when the minds purifies itself more and for you are constantly looking at the image of Christ, and you are constantly that is called contemplation, meditation. And then suddenly, samadhi happens. What happens? You forget your body, you forget yourself, and only the image of Christ remains. And that's the first stage of Samadhi, the subject and the object you and the the object of Christ become one. This is samyam. So you become what you concentrate on. This is a very high degree of concentration. And people in the West, I encourage them, if they want yoga and spiritual perfection, they must have classes and education and schools only. Concentration for concentration sake, not letting it go grow as a byproduct of reading or something, if you want concentrate on the Krishna or the Christ and then become one with the image that is perfect concentration. So this is state of Samadhi. But in the state of Samadhi, the subject and the object become one. This is called samyama. So your mind is in a very high degree of purification, but your mind, although being in a high degree of purity, in the grosser state of concentration and meditation, it was an atomic mind, but in this Samadhi, you enter the state of subatomic mind. That means the atoms of your body break up into electron protons and neutrons, and then you are in the subatomic stage, and these electron protons and neutrons, when all form disappears, they go to a higher speed of Samadhi called the Ananda Samadhi. Now I'm talking about the four stages of Samadhi, vitarka Samadhi, of introspection. Which are the Samadhi of deep contemplation, meditation, Ananda, the Samadhi of bliss. And then the final is the A Smith Samadhi, which Samadhi where the subject and object become one, and everything is on one, uniform thought, The Imitation of Christ. There's a book The Imitation of Christ. While you concentrate and you imitate and try to assimilate the Christ, you become the Christ. This is what happens to the human mind. And there have been masters and yogis who. Have perfected themselves. They are Christ like masters roaming in the Himalayas today, who are one with nature and one with their divine self. Now they're still to spiritual perfection. The quality of mind has purified to such a degree that it has become like the Christ in thought and form. But still, the consciousness is not clear. The consciousness is not clear for the consciousness to go higher, because you're still thinking of the Christ, where you have the form of Christ, and you're still feeling an awareness and Highness that me and Christ are one. It's a very high state. I think there are masters and yogis in India who have felt that they are one and have displayed themselves becoming Krishna. There are great saints like Theresa Neumann and Francis of Assisi and, to a great extent, goiter, who had these experiences that the lady, there is no man, she suffered on the cross, and she had become so much as one with the Christ in the purification of our mind, on our journey to spiritual affection, that when she had that blood used to flow from her, her palms of her hands, and she used to be her continents. Used to change like Jesus. That's a very high degree. But you ask me a question casually, and I have to take you to what is it's meaning is, is far reaching and very deep. I have to go through it. You're asking a yogi and not a teacher. You're asking a master. So he should tell you. Now, after this stage, still, the form and image of Christ is there in the mind to be totally merged. Now he has merged in God. Christ is God. He has a name and a form. He has a beard. He has a hair here, but you're one with him. So your mind is perfectly in harmony, but it's still in nature, because we have the name attached in your mind and the form. But you have me, you have you have met the Lord. But in order to meet the Lord God, hear about whom nobody can say anything. And those who tell it know it not, and those who know it tell it not, then even that form of Jesus. And you becoming Jesus, and you having powers all over the world, all that must disappear, you get the last stage of purity of mind, which they call the penultimate stage of purity of mind is where everything is God. You are feel yourself in the birds, the bees, the flowers, the trees, the ocean, the sky and the clouds. You are in the highest state of a Smith Samadhi. You are in the state where you realize your soul essence, the Christ essence, the Krishna consciousness in all of creation. That's a very, very high stage. And that was the stage which the Francis of Assisi and koite and Nietzsche and all these Western philosophers, MSA Emerson and David Thoreau, ablonus of tan all these great masters, Peter Paul, John Ezekiel and Jeremiah, all these great prophets. Okay, they aspired, and they are known as the prakriti layer Purush. But you have to go beyond the prakriti layer. Purush means that yogi, or that spiritual master whose consciousness has merged into nature, if there's one ship thinking of the coast of Japan, if you are realized, you say, Help me, I'm sinking of many souls of the soul of the coast of Japan. If there's something happening in the United States, oh, this has happened. Because your consciousness is spread all over and you know all what is happening everywhere in the world. If you focus your mind on that spot. This is the purity of the mind. It creates such a tremendous power. But the mind has to go beyond power. The mind has to go beyond all these, these, these, these faculties and bounties of nature called the Ashta siddis, becoming as small as in atom, the animan siddhi, becoming as large as the sky, the mahiman siddhi, obtaining everything you want. This can be done by the power of the soul, because now you are have purified and expanded your soul to to act in a God like manner you see but there is still left. This is still a desire, that wanting this state, all this is me. I am one with Christ. I look like the Christ. I can raise the dead. I can I can change the course of the river. I can do what I want. Because. I am playing God. I have expanded myself into eternity. By the way, such great yogis do not live in the horns of men. They will upset your day to day life with their very presence and the dynamic power of their Kundalini. The normal human body, the astral body, cannot capacitate the impact and power and the voltage of a fully, of a Yogi full on his way to realize the Lord God, which is the reality of creation. It's not a joke. It's not a laughing thing. So these saints had reached it. Peter Paul, he had still not reached the final state. And for that they needed even Jesus needed the intervention of the Christ when on Mount Hebron, the transfiguration took place, and even Jesus had to be given a hand he was on the Mount of Hebron, the transfiguration took place. Moses on his right, Elijah on his left, and Jesus was transformed from the Son of man to the Son of God. That is called the great transformation on the Mount of Hebron. That is the way of the purification of the spiritual perfection. But in spiritual perfection, not only your mind should be purified, your body, mind and soul should not only be purified, because even purification is a limited thing. The absolute isness of the zero, not zero. Even that purification, even the iness, the must disappear. And due to years of meditation and purification of the mind, by saying, I am not

I. I'm not this house of flesh and bone which sleeps, decays and dies. I am immortal consciousness, Lord of the earth and skies. So there's no even I. I'm pure consciousness. Then you get to the last stage of Samadhi, which is which is basically out of the ashtang Yoga, the last and final dimension, where you go from savicult to Nirvikalpa, samadhi with no form and no desire, when the mind has expanded, when your body has turned into your astral body, your astral body has become your mind. Your mind has become your soul, pervading all creation, and your soul has to merge into the supreme Super Soul, your Jiva, or your soul has to merge into the Supreme, unlimited spirit, then that I Ness, that identity, also must disappear. The pure iness must disappear. And that is the quantum leap that you have the eye has to take. And the more my eye that disappear, the more the self is God appears. So the final eye, the cosmic eye has to disappear in the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, which we call Nirvan Niranjan moksha, or we call Kaivalya. And in this state, those who tell it know it not, and those who know it tell it not, for this is the stage of perfection beyond the human mind. How can I tell you that which is beyond the mind with an explanation connected with your and my mind, I can only give you the experience. For this, you must come to India, to the ashram and take an experience and see the path which leads you there. Om Namah Shivay, this is spiritual perfection.

Jannecke Øinæs 23:42

Hey guys, I want to jump in here to give my thanks for being part of the Wisdom From North community. Your support and engagement means the world to us. We put so much passion, so much love into these episodes, and my intention is really to be part of this great shift of consciousness to do what I can do with this channel, to help people expand their consciousness, love themselves more, follow their purpose and shine their light. So if you haven't yet subscribed, I would love for you to do so. Thank you so much. You'll find the link somewhere here below, and now let's go back to the episode. Thank you for a profound answer and such a thorough answer to my question, my casual question. I want to take it further. I saw on your website that you you mentioned meditation. You practice a lot of meditation, but also it said it's important that you experience life. And that really resonated with me, because I'm thinking that we could meditate and meditate, but it is also in life that experience happens and all of a sudden. Now I feel I'm in Zen after meditating, and then my fiance comes home and says something, and I'm triggered. And then I'm back in my story. I'm back in my mind, and I want to draw this like over to the dawn of a huge new humanity, and when we speak about the evolution of the soul. Do you think that this has been the way that we have developed as humans, through experience, but now we're in a shift of consciousness where we're receiving help, or that the veil is thinner between the worlds, and we are practicing more meditation, we have more access to sort of our inner being. So could you speak a little bit to the dawn of a new humanity if we are in a time where we're receiving help to attain more spiritual perfection,

Yogiraj Siddhanath 26:05

Like you are receiving help now, which I am giving you now. And if you are sensitive to me, and you listen to me, you shift your consciousness to your heart, you will also feel the energy of my transmission. You will be able to feel it on yourself, depending of how attuned you are to me, I'm transmitting as I talk. A master is like the sun. He keeps radiating and transmitting constantly. I just want to make you aware of this. If Earth Peace is to herald the dawn of the new age, we must all realize that humanity is our uniting consciousness. If Earth Peace is to herald the dawn of the new age, we must all realize that humanity is our uniting religion, breath our uniting. Prayer and consciousness are uniting God. Now, step by step, I will take you the first stage is that we must be in harmony with one another and accept all human beings as one religion as one binding progression of the collective consciousness of humanity, and the collective consciousness that we are all one, encased in a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body. It will be brought about in in olden times, people used to feel ill. They had a toothache. They could do nothing about it. They had to pull out the tooth. They had a stomach ache. They had to suffer for long hours in all countries, but now, with the advance of medical science, and, of course, the ever background of the yogic but that was not available so much through the digital and common media. Medical science came to our help, and we were able to get over disorders like an upset stomach, a temperature of fever and illness. Medical science has solved all these problems, and now the West has become wiser, like like in the in the Netherlands and in the Scandinavian countries, they are becoming very, very they're saying, breathe green. Breathe green. Let's go to alternative medicine. Let's go to yoga. So they love yoga more than because they feel that this the allopathic medicines, too harsh. Allopathic medicine, I find, is very good if there's an emergency and you want immediate results. The Ayurved is a bit slower. And then there's the yogic medicine. So however, all said and done, the people who like that type go to this medicine, we have come or we have overcome the obstacle of the physical body. After that, in the Middle Ages, till now, we had also overcome many of the obstacles of the passional body, they're all interfaced we are now by psychiatry and psychotherapeutic methods trying to overcome the. Obstacles of the emotional body. But now, according to the Indian tradition, national emotional and mental bodies and the intellectual body is summed up as one thing called the chitta, which in West, in the West, there is no word for it, so we call it the mind. The mind is composed of

the physical working mind which notes and records everything it listens and hears to in its temperate lobe, in the hippocampus. So the mind records everything that is known as the Manas, the thinking mind. Then the mind also contains the eye, which is that part of the mind, the arrogating principle, that portion of the mind says, This is mine. This car is mine. You have insulted me. You have said something to me. So I get hurt. So we get which you just said, just now I'm meditating calmly. My husband comes and says, Pastor, some remark, and I get very upset. That is because the eye is very strong. That's one portion of the mind. So it's the Manas, which is the the working, racist and native mind. Then there's the the arrogating mind, which takes ownership of all name and fame. Insult. If you're insulted, you feel happy. If you're pray, if you're insulted, you feel sad. If you if you're if you're praised, you feel happy. That's the eye. And the third part of the mind is the subtle part, buddhi, which is the intellect or intuition. So the mind is Manas, which is the ratiocinative mind, the record keeper, the typewriter. Higher than that is the I, the ego, which takes ownership of all insult, happiness, joy and sorrow, name and fame. And the subtlest portion of the mind is called, put the which is intuition. So your mind is consisting of Manas, buddhi and Atma, sorry, Banas, aham, car and Budd, which means the thinking principle, the BU, the BU, which is the the i, which is the ego principle, which takes ownership, arrogating principle. And the third is the buddhi, which is the intuition. This is what we know by mind, so the physical body, we have overcome the obstacles of in the past ages, but now today, we have come up against a unsurmountable barrier, or apparently unsurmountable barrier of the mind, which is very difficult for human beings to tackle because They are so touch me, not that their ego always comes in the way and disturbs the equilibrium the equanimity of their mind. So in yoga, we have a method especially to strengthen the equanimity of the mind. Enjoy and sorrow light and dark. Do ever that eternal spark in honor and dishonor to the constant Yogi ever knew. So he's never disturbed or ruffled by success and failure of outer things. Is very, very constant. So that is a part of yoga which has to be done in yoga, sadhana, in pranayama, in Dhyana, to overcome the unsurmountable barrier of the mind, where it's not your physical body or your stomach or your earache or headache, it is you yourself, and you yourself are coming in the way of yourself like a five year old child, he goes in the night to the fridge where his mom has kept the chocolates. His mama skipped the chocolates, the chocolate, and he tries to open the fridge. And he's, he's opening it with one hand, and he's, he doesn't he's pushing it with the other hand. So there's an equivalent, and he's wondering, why, why is the fridge not opening? So this is the case of the ego. We cannot tackle it the moment we try to. This is the the catch 22 that's why they come to yoga. Once you get over the yoga, once you get over the ego, then you are well on your way to enlightenment, to spiritual perfection. So this, this is a very difficult thing in. Once you get over that, then your mind gets purer and purer. So it's hell of a task. As long as you have the ego in your mind, it's difficult to purify the mind, and you have to remove your ego. You have to remove your ego by constantly telling yourself, let it go. Let it go. I am not the ego nor the body. Oh Lord I am the spark of your divine spirit. Oh Lord I am not the ego. So who is getting hurt? It's only my emotional body that's getting hurt, but I am the atma. I am divine spirit. I can never be affected by anyone who causes insults at me, who tries to praise me or disgrace me. I'm not worried with that. I'm just focused on you, and I just want to be one with you. And when you're one minded focus, if that is your only desire, then at a very high stage of mind, you make constant progress towards the Lord, because then the yogi asks, oh Lord, in this life, I have many things to do, from mountaineering to water skiing to going to office, to become becoming the CEO of the office, to becoming a social leader, to becoming this thing at And a lot of things I have to know, a lot of things I have to possess. So then, oh Lord, I do not Should I become a doctor? Should I become an engineer? Should I become an artist? Of course, you become all that due to your your predisposed energies, your sound scars to that which you're pre genetically predisposed you will become if you are genetically predisposed to being a doctor in your past life, you will be a doctor in this life. If you are genetically predisposed to to being an artist, you will be an artist in this life. Same goes with your physical, emotional, mental bodies. But in spite of that, we ask God, oh Lord, what is that by knowing which I may know all? And the answer comes, it came to the great rishis and the Yogis of all meditating in the Himalayas. Oh God, what is that by knowing which I may know all. And the answer rung in the firmaments of his soul, God is that you are that by knowing which you may know, you as God realized. What is that I want a Ferrari also. I want to be a millionaire, yet I want to be a spiritual person. Oh, Lord, what is that by having which I may have all? And the answer rings in the firmament of your soul, God is that by having which you may have all? So then we medit. That's why we meditate on God, because he is a panacea for all your problems and ills. In the highest sense, God is the supreme state of tranquil awareness. He is the absolute reality upon which the whole duality of creation exists. There are many dualities in the creation of this cosmos, and yet there is only one reality, by virtue of whose presence the duality of creation moves on and gets its energy and gets its all.

Jannecke Øinæs 38:41

Thank you for that. Oh, there's so many places I want to go, and there's so many questions in my mind,

Yogiraj Siddhanath 38:49

and all your questions will be answered. I just told you. What is that by which all my questions will be answered? Do you think? Do you think that I'm reading a book and answering your questions? I'm in contact with God, so all the questions you put with me, if I am in contact with him, I can answer all the questions. Instead, I could take all the books and answer them. But I said, What is that you know by knowing which I may answer all the questions of my podcast? The answer comes, God is that contain contact, the still point of eternity. What is God the still point of eternity. In your soul, there is a still point, thought free, very still, very silent, very silent. It's called the still point. It's connected to eternity. So it's called, that is the soul. That is my scientific explanation of the soul. What is the soul? It is called the still point of eternity. Where does the still point of eternity exist? It exists here as total intuition. It exists here as devotion and love. Who? And it exists here at the transpersonal point as God himself. That's when you go into Samadhi. So you can contact God, the still point of eternity, from the heart as devotion, from the third eye, the Kuta, the Chaitanya as raghiop, samadhi, concentration, and at the transpersonal point, at the 1000 petal lotus, as the highest Samadhi and in Kaivalya, merged in God. So these are the three contacts of God, the three methods of yoga. You see, there's no yoga here, so it's bhakti yoga, rag yoga and Samadhi yoga.

Jannecke Øinæs 40:49

Now, what do you think about this? I believe, or think perhaps, that we plan our lives before we come into this incarnation. And I'm curious whether the purpose of everybody's life on this planet is to awaken, is to become a light enlightened, or if some souls chooses another path, that I'm going to learn this and that maybe some challenges in order to grow, and that enlightenment is not available both for them in the Incarnation, or is sort of the purpose, or the goal in for all humans to awaken and, yeah, attain spiritual perfection, like that is like the only goal? Or do we have sort of other purposes?

Yogiraj Siddhanath 41:40

So I would three or four questions in this one question of yours, but I'll answer it step by step. The first is you use the word we choose our lives. That means we choose the womb of the mother and father in whom we are born. That's what you said. No, you don't choose the womb, where the of the mother and father, where you are born, there is a Newton's law of motion, which is called that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Now every thought what indeed you do, I'm giving you a rough sketch. Every action and reaction you do in life creates an impression in your mind, like a teleprinter. It's called an impression a sanskar. And the sum total of these sound scars determine your next birth. I'll give you an example, because you are bound by karma. You are not free from karma, the action and reaction of creation. You're not a liberated being. Only a liberated or enlightened being can choose his mother's womb, but normal people all over the world are, they are bound by the momentum of their past karma. So now, your whole past life, you have been in the water, near the water. Your father was a fisherman, and he was catching fish, and used to go out and used to play by the seashore, swim deep into the ocean. Then you learnt the arts of swimming, then you learnt the art of pearl diving, and you became very fond of the water. So all your thoughts are about swimming, the different types of swimming, helping your father in fishing, going deep sea diving, finding little oysters in which they are pearls, because your father was a fisherman by the ocean. Your next life, which you have? Your next life, you will either become a fisherman's daughter, or you will go into a family where they encourage swimming, and then you'll go in for the Olympic gold, or you'll go for some breaststroke, or you'll be by the seaside wanting to swim long distances, the the Swiss the the British Channel, you know, and all these things. You cannot suddenly become an engineer, or you can't become an artist, if in your past life, that's I'm telling you how the mind, the soul, guides the your past actions guide your soul to the womb of the family, which can afford you the education of what you desired in your past life is that clear. So if you are if you are an artist and you love painting, you will not go into the house of an engineer or a military general. You will go into the house of a painter, or you will go into such a house where they afford you a big space and a room by the beautiful scenery, by the mountains, where you can do your painting so your past. Your your individual present explains your individual past to each one is allotted his exact and proper task. So two, the truth is truth without the liar gets his own. So do such actions whose reactions you don't mourn. So every action you're doing your life will have a reaction in future. This action and reaction creates an impression in your mind that is your intellect and your Manas recording mind, and that's what that is, what guides your soul into the next birth? Now, a person who has no karma wants to come for the benefit of humanity. He cannot incarnate. So he takes some of your karma, takes some of his karma, some of his karma, and He incarnates into the womb of a pious and meditating yogi, or a very, very pious landlord or a meditating master, and there he gets the facility to open up his own yoga ashram and teach people the path of meditation. So this is how the birth of the soul. The next question is this, many people in the West have said, and I answer this question, it's very unfair. People want to tread the path of God. They want to meditate now every Master is like a magnet. He has a field, a magnetic field. And those disciples who are searching the master, if they come, if they intensity their desire to meditate and seek God is enough that those iron filings, which are the disciples, the magnet is the master. The iron filings are the disciples who roam outside the field. The moment their desire come comes, they get in the magnetic field of the master, and they come face to face with the Master, even your interview with me today, it had to happen. It was not It's not random. It was. It was destined before also and also planned. So all these things on Earth are planned by your own actions, right? So this is the answer, which is the third one you said, I think we you can carry on with the next question. I tend to go deep, if you want me to make it simpler, or No,

I love this. I love this. I mean, this is different from other guests I've had, and I like this,

Yogiraj Siddhanath 47:57

because if you try to extend this it, it will extend you can explain it for a month. It's so intense. It's very, very concentrated what I'm saying. And each each sentence can be, it can be made a half a book.

Jannecke Øinæs 48:15

I know words are very limiting. And also I know from my human perspective. It's very limited what I can understand intellectually. And there's a whole other thing to experience something. So I know experiencing

Yogiraj Siddhanath 48:31

you are experiencing something right now, as you're looking me face to face, you're in my presence, you are experiencing it. But now, since you're taking my interview, this thing you're in the mind. The moment you relax and get in the heart, you'll feel the energy flow even even when you hear me, after I finished, when you hear me and you listen from here, you'll feel an energy which will be vibrating in your heart. It's already being done. The Masters, don't waste time the world. We are getting late. We have to help humanity now, at this moment, this very now, and as I'm talking to you, I'm transmitting a healing energy to your heart and through my eyes, a healing Darshan to your eyes. And the person who is before me will get healed, provided he lets go and opens the door and I shall Knock, and if thou shalt stop the door, I shall come in and I shall sip and dine with you. But if thou ignore my knock, then I shall pass thee by. That's the famous picture of Jesus holding the lamp and knocking at the door. It's one of the maybe in the louver. I think it's a very, very famous picture of Jesus. So you when he knocks, when an opportunity knocks at your door, open the door and take the opportunity. Otherwise, we'll have to wait for the next round, the next tide. You. So take, take it at the high tide and ride the wave. Otherwise, you'll flounder in the shallows temporarily. Hmm,

Jannecke Øinæs 50:08

I think, and I feel you've given us a lot of deep teachings today that we can apply. And also my

Yogiraj Siddhanath 50:15

digest and digest. Apply and digest. Also, yeah, yeah, right, that you have to bring it to action, yes.

Jannecke Øinæs 50:27

What is your perspective on what's going on in the world right now? To me, I see polarity, and I think we're experienced something we never have before, and the way I think about it is that shadows are coming up for us to release them. What are your thoughts about what's happening in the world?

Yogiraj Siddhanath 50:51

What is happening in the world? We are seeing for ourselves. And all I can say in a nutshell is what is happening in the world today is for the ultimate good. The Lord is great. The inner government of the world is watching and controlling the outer government of the world. So the Putins in the Trumps and the MODIS, they are all great people thinking that they are doing this change, but it is the inner government of the world their fuel, her or their higher souls are the masters are controlling the actions, and may be strange to our thinking, are bringing about a future evolution of the world to get harmony and evolution in future and harmony in in future, there has to be a little bit of upheaval. And a little bit of this is a part of the change that is coming about. The Masters know it. And the the description of the coming of the second advent, which is quite some time away, has been accelerated, and they say he will declare himself the second advent. The Buddhists call it the Maitreya Buddha. The Hindus call it the Kalki of Dhar. Islam calls it the coming of the Mehdi, the Imam. And Christians call it the second advent. It's all one and the same thing, and all masters and yogis shall stand by to supply the necessary resources, the power and the assistance to the Divine Kalki, who is coming his presence is already being felt on the globe. Some feel it as peace. Some feel it as upheaval. Some feel it as a nervousness that there may be a chaos, perhaps it might lead to a world war, but there will be no World War, but there will be a world war like situation which must happen for the poison to be taken out. If the boil is at its beginning stage, you can subside the boil by medicine. But if the boil has already got a head, it has to be lanced. The boil is got ahead. The minimum amount of surgery will be done. It'll have to be lanced. The world will go through a people. There will be no World War, but we cannot avoid a world war like situation. So this is the sum and substance of it all.

Jannecke Øinæs 53:39

Wow. All right, I am going to ask you my last question. Thank you so much for a profound session today. I call it the session because it felt just like a master class. What, what is the deeper meaning of life? Why are we here?

Yogiraj Siddhanath 53:59

The deeper meaning of life. You want a deep answer, the deeper meaning of life is life. We are here because we are here. The Yogi's mind is totally different from a thinking and rational mind. This is a complete answer, and it's the deepest you can get.

Jannecke Øinæs 54:26

I love that I love that yogi, right? Thank you so much for coming to the show today.

Yogiraj Siddhanath 54:34

God bless you, and all my best wishes are with you. Om Namah shivarani,
