La calma è più dinamica e potente della pace… La calma dona il potere di superare tutti gli ostacoli della vita… Persino nei rapporti umani, la persona che rimane calma in ogni circostanza è invincibile.

Paramhansa Yogananda

Shri Yogendraji was born as Mani Haribhai Desai in 1897 in Gujarat. He learnt about yoga from his Guru, Shri Paramhamsa Madhavadasji and founded The Yoga Institute in 1918. He was a learned man who dedicated his life to spreading the goodness of authentic yoga. Some of the books written by him are preserved in the Crypt of Civilization for posterity to be opened after 6000 years. Along with his wife, Sitadevi Yogendra, he continued to teach and spread awareness of authentic classical yoga at The Yoga Institute, Santacruz, until his death in 1989.

The fleshly body is made of the fixed, objectified dreams of the Creator. The dualities are ever-present on earth: disease and health, pain and pleasure, loss and gain. Human beings find limitation and resistance in three-dimensional matter. When man’s desire to live is severely shaken by disease or other causes, death arrives; the heavy overcoat of the flesh is temporarily shed. The soul, however, remains encased in the astral and causal bodies. The adhesive force by which all three bodies are held together is desire. The power of unfulfilled desires is the root of all man’s slavery. “Physical desires are rooted in egotism and sense pleasures. The compulsion or temptation of sensory experience is more powerful than the desire-force connected with astral attachments or causal perceptions. “Astral desires center around enjoyment in terms of vibration. Astral beings enjoy the ethereal music of the spheres and are entranced by the sight of all creation as exhaustless expressions of changing light. The astral beings also smell, taste, and touch light. Astral desires are thus connected with an astral being’s power to precipitate all objects and experiences as forms of light or as condensed thoughts or dreams. “Causal desires are fulfilled by perception only. The nearly-free beings who are encased only in the causal body see the whole universe as realizations of the dream-ideas of God; they can materialize anything and everything in sheer thought. Causal beings therefore consider the enjoyment of physical sensations or astral delights as gross and suffocating to the soul’s fine sensibilities. Causal beings work out their desires by materializing them instantly. Those who find themselves covered only by the delicate veil of the causal body can bring universes into manifestation even as the Creator. Because all creation is made of the cosmic dream-texture, the soul thinly clothed in the causal has vast realizations of power. “A soul, being invisible by nature, can be distinguished only by the presence of its body or bodies. The mere presence of a body signifies that its existence is made possible by unfulfilled desires. “So long as the soul of man is encased in one, two, or three body-containers, sealed tightly with the corks of ignorance and desires, he cannot merge with the sea of Spirit. When the gross physical receptacle is destroyed by the hammer of death, the other two coverings—astral and causal—still remain to prevent the soul from consciously joining the Omnipresent Life. When desirelessness is attained through wisdom, its power disintegrates the two remaining vessels. The tiny human soul emerges, free at last; it is one with the Measureless Amplitude.

The perfect 'getaway'.

"The absence of weakness is will power. The absence of will power is weakness." As long as the One desires to be Many, the Many are subject to the laws of duality. If it sounds like I've been reading Crowley recently, your on the right track. The quote is from the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. If you weren't already aware, Crowley's western brand of mysticism was deeply rooted in eastern yoga. The very first chapter of Magick is basically a rehashing of Patanjali's meditation guide in the Yoga Sutras. So to all of my fellow mystics, occultists, magicians, meditators, philosophers, psychonauts, musicians, poets, novelists, and all seekers of Truth, the Yogic sciences hold all that you search for, and more.
