Adi Da Samraj – 1995 “That is why it is said there are so many masters.
They are always available. They can always intervene. They
can always be called upon.” DEVOTEE: Beloved, You were just talking about the
food-body. And You were, earlier on, talking about the
bellows—which relates to the pranamayakosha, the body
of energy. ADI DA SAMRAJ: Yes, the etheric body, closest to
the physical. You see, that is transformed through Right
Yoga. It is one of the original transformations. The
foundation transformation, in fact. Oh, there is much
greater than that to Realize, but if you even did that, you
would realize a disposition of energy. “Conductivity”, as I
said to you all—all the disciplines—is a way of
submitting the body to the condition of energy. Hm? That is
pranamayakosha, or the etheric body first of all, in natural
terms. If you do this Yoga, and then advance into My Spiritual
Company, the least you will realize, in life and at the
point of death, is the energy state in conditional
manifestation. Many things can happen after death, but for
those who are Yogically prepared there is the capability for
steady presence in the etheric domain immediately associated
with the physical domain. Those who die go into the etheric
domain. They are full of confusion and all the
rest—those who are not prepared, those who have not
done great sadhana. They appear and disappear in their dream
states, and this and that and the other thing. And then they
get reincarnated. But for those who are full of Yoga, the
first and the least they can realize, is the capability for
steady presence, steady existence, in that etheric domain
that is immediately associated with this. It is like a
shadow duplicate. It is immediately associated with this,
and the same as it. Hm? And you can be steadily present
there as long as you like—if you are full of Yoga. It is the least realization of Yoga. It is the first. And
it is not the Ultimate Realization in this Way. But
nonetheless, it is a reality. Instead of merely dying, and
floating above the body and looking at it and so forth, and
then going into dream states, you can immediately pass into
the etheric body, which is the duplicate of this place. Hm?
And those in that circumstance and steady disposition can be
immediately associated with this world, can view it, can be
wherever they will, can serve, can love, can support those
in physically manifested states. It is not the Great Matter. But it is the first
conclusion, the first manifestation of Yoga. And those who
truly succeed at Yoga enjoy this capability. It is the first
siddhi — to be steady in the etheric domain, which is
the duplicate of this and immediately associated with it.
And they remain long. That is why it is said there are so
many masters. They are always available. They can always
intervene. They can always be called upon. Those are the
lowest level of masters because it is the first siddhi, the
first capability of Yoga. In this Way, that possibility exists also for those who
only mature to that point. It is not the end of it at all.
But it is an indication of the profundity of the Yogic
process, whereby you become conformed to energy, the
condition of energy, through this devotion to Me and through
right “conductivity”—never breaking the circle, never
allowing it to be obstructed mentally, emotionally,
physically—never. DEVOTEES: Thank You, Beloved. Adi Da Samraj (1982) talking with a devotee who recently
came back from India and visiting with devotees of other
Spiritual Masters. More on: BLISS
SHEATH (ANANDAMAVA KOSHA) AND ITS SCIENCE “The
perfect among the sages is identical with Me. There is
absolutely no difference between us” Disciple: What will happen if one realizes the
divine consciousness? Sri Aurobindo: First thing, you will become calm,
quiet; secondly, there will be the feeling of strength, I
mean the presence of a Force. Thirdly, the sense of the
Infinite will be felt, you will feel yourself as the
Infinite. Fourthly, something will be always there behind
which will be able to govern the nature. Also the sense of
Eternity and of yourself as Immortal. Even though the body
dies you know you are immortal. Also there are many things
more. For example, freedom from every thing even from the
world. You realize the Transcendental and the Universal
consciousness. Realization of the fundamental being may be the beginning
i.e. of the Essential being, Consciousness and Delight.
Then, everything is divine, you are divine, you live in the
divine: it is one of the most Anandamaya experiences. It is
a concrete and real thing and not an idea. You cannot
explain these things. You can’t explain even a stone in
spite of your science. Everything is not material but
mystical at bottom.
