As it is

For the mystic yogi, the greatest challenge lies in attaining a state wherein his/her inner world and the outer world become one. On the path of Self-realisation, many yogis seek asylum from the world and retreat inwards to the "Spiritual" ideal. They isolate themselves into the "Only-ness" of spirit and try to destroy any sense of plurality, diversity, or energy. Others, not understanding the inner reality absorb themselves solely in the pursuit of power and dominance over their external world. These two extremes must find balance in order for the Yogin to move past the delusions of Self-importance and Self-negligence, which keep him from the true state of enlightened love. Selfless, pure, and unwavering love for totality as it is, is the state of the yogin who has transcended the endeavours of knowledge, works, and even Self-realization. To end one's sadhana before achieving this humble state, one is doomed to fall into rebirth in the god-realms, anti-god realms, the realms of nagas, the Gandharvas, and other planes Self-identifications.

The dualities of spiritual and material must be cast off into the Non-dual reality of life as it is. This is the full realization of the divine, God and nature, as one indivisible, co-emergent, eternal reality. To achieve this the yogin applies himself to witnessing the inner mandala of deities in male/female couples as the world and life play before him.

The practice is simple and yet complex. It can be boiled down to a single syllable like Om or expanded into complex geometric mandalas envisioned around oneself or one's point of focus. Applying oneself to this exercise, you will begin to see how this is not an imposed imagination but a practice of seeing what is, in the absolute sense, already there. Perfect symmetry and balance arising out of perfect asymmetry and chaos. The expansion and contraction of the cosmos at every level of being.


Progress comes from acceptance of what is immediate, in the present moment, and without preference. Even failure to see is a part of the mechanics of the matrix of consciousness we call life. So there is no need to struggle, only a relaxing into what is already there since beginningless time.

For Vaishnava yogis, We have for millennia identified reality as the divine couple, Sri Radha Krsna.  We witness their eternal love dalliance as the perpetual play of time and desire within the never-ending expanse of the void. This is called Sahaja by the wise.

Samsara and Nirvana have joined as one! Haribol Haribol Haribol!
