Arhatic Yoga Quotes

Earning lots of money is good. To be wealthy is good. Wealth must preferably be in the hands of spiritually developed people with goodwill and the will to do good. But if the spiritual disciple loses his self-control, this may manifest as greed, ruthlessness, and deception. All of these must also be eliminated. Excessive, unregulated desire for money may also divert the spiritual disciple from his spiritual practice. This must be avoided.

For about five years (1983-1987), when the main bulk of Modern Pranic Healing was being validated, conceptualized, synthesized, formulated, systematized, and developed, MCKS “ate, drank and slept Pranic Healing”. This was one of the toughest and most difficult part of His life. To formulate and develop Modern Pranic Healing from a zygote state (fertilized egg) to adulthood in a few years time was just almost impossible. The completion of the Spiritual Thesis was extremely difficult. The effort required was monumental. Modern Pranic Healing as a science was finally born in late 1987 when the book, The Ancient Science and Art of Pranic Healing, by Master Choa Kok Sui was finally published.

Both puritanical and hedonistic attitudes toward sex lead to sexual enslavement manifesting as uncontrolled excessive sexual activities. The proper approach is the middle path. The proper attitude is to consider sex as natural. What is required is the regulation of sexual energy and transforming it into: 1.   Heart energy manifesting as love, compassion, kindness, and intimacy; 2.   Throat energy manifesting as greater and higher intelligence and creativity; 3.   Crown energy manifesting as spiritual energy, and greater connectedness and oneness with the Higher Soul.

A spiritual disciple, being internally good and kind, may project these qualities to others who are not mature and not kind. This may lead to gullibility and being easily fooled by others. A disciple must be on guard against this tendency.

A disciple must learn to be patient, to understand, to be tolerant, to be compassionate, to internally forgive and to bless. Although the disciple has internally forgiven the offending person(s), it is still necessary, in some instances, to take actions that may be, to a certain extent severe, in order for the person to learn his lesson and not commit the same serious mistake again. It is also necessary to protect possible future victims.

Inner Purification or Character Building is extremely important. Without thorough continuous Character Building, a disciple will spiritually fall. This is exactly what happened to some of MCKS’ disciples. They did not focus enough on Character Building and spiritually fell because of pride, self delusion, arrogance, greed and dishonesty.

Through the gentle guidance of the teachings from the Great Spiritual Teachers of different religions and the constant steering by the Law of Karma, which manifests as painful and pleasant experiences, the soul inevitably learns the lessons, gains inner strength and spiritually evolves until it achieves illumination, oneness with the Higher Soul, oneness with the Divine Spark and greater oneness with God.

Intuitive intelligence is knowing though direct inner perceptions or direct knowing. It doesn’t require study. The disciple just simply knows. There are usually no inner images or visions. Intuitive intelligence utilizes the crown chakra.

Using intuitive intelligence alone is not enough. The concept or ideas that have been internally gathered by intuitive intelligence must still be analyzed, scrutinized and validated by using mental intelligence and actual experimentation.

What we call science is actually physical science. What we call spirituality is actually inner sciences or sciences not dealing with the physical world. The process of the union between science and spirituality is already in progress. This can be seen in the field of quantum physics merging with mysticism, in homeopathy, in acupuncture, feng shui, chi kung, vibrational medicine and others.

In India, when grandchildren are sick, some grandmothers will sweep the child with a broom or with the branch of a tree. If the child asked the grandmother what she was doing, she will reply that she was “removing bad spirits”. It is reported that in many cases, the children would get well.

before Isaac Newton, billions of people had seen apples or objects fall to the ground. But it was Isaac Newton who formulated the Law of Gravity. In ancient India, hundreds of millions or billions of grandmothers healed their grandchildren with branches or brooms, but they did not understand the principle behind what they were doing. It was necessary for MCKS to explain and put emphasis on the very important concept of diseased energy.

The Principle of Internal Conductivity states that the conductivity of the body and the subtle bodies depends on the psychological attitude of the person receiving the projected energy. Super internal conductivity is called faith.

The practice of connecting the tongue to the palate and the practice of holding the breath before inhalation will recharge the body. These simple techniques will energize and rapidly recharge their body. Empty retention must become part of their breathing pattern.

7. The closer we are to Self-realization, or enlightenment, the more ordinary we become. Only seekers striving for liberation as if it were a trophy glamorize the yogic process and themselves. They want to be extraordinary, whereas liberated beings are perfectly ordinary. They are as happy washing dishes as they are sitting quietly in meditation or teaching their disciples. For this reason, Yoga has from the beginning celebrated not only the path of the world-renouncing ascetic (samnyāsin) but also that of the world-engaging householder (grihastha) who uses the opportunities of daily life to practice the virtues of a yogic lifestyle. 8. In all Yoga practice, there is an element of pleasant “surprise” or favorableness. In the theistic schools of Yoga, this is explained as the grace (prasāda) of the Divine Being; in nontheistic schools, such as Jaina Yoga or certain schools of Buddhist Yoga, help is said to flow from liberated beings (called arhats, buddhas, bodhisattvas, tīrthankaras, or mahā-siddhas). Also, gurus are channels of benevolent energies, or blessings, intended to ripen their disciples. The process by which a guru blesses a disciple is called “transmission” (samcāra). In some schools, it is known as shakti-pāta, meaning “descent of the power.” The power in question is the Energy of Consciousness itself. 9. All Yoga is initiatory. That is, initiation (dīkshā) by a qualified teacher (guru) is essential for ultimate success in Yoga. It is possible to benefit from a good many yogic practices even without initiation. Thus, most exercises of Hatha-Yoga—from postures to breath control to meditation—can be successfully practiced on one’s own, providing the correct format has been learned. But for the higher stages of Yoga, empowerment through initiation is definitely necessary. The habit patterns of the mind are too ingrained for us to make deep-level changes without the benign intervention of a Yoga master. All yogic practices can usefully be viewed as preparation for this moment. 10. Yoga is a gradual process of replacing our unconscious patterns of thought and behavior with new, more benign patterns that are expressive of the higher powers and virtues of enlightenment. It takes time to accomplish this far-reaching work of self-transformation, and therefore practitioners of Yoga must first and foremost practice patience. Enlightenment, or liberation, is not realized in a matter of days, weeks, or months. We must be willing to commit to an entire lifetime of yogic practice. There must be a basic impulse to grow, regardless of whether or not we will achieve liberation in this lifetime. It is one of Yoga’s fundamental tenets that no effort is ever wasted; even the slightest attempt at transforming ourselves makes a difference. It is our patient cumulative effort that flowers into enlightenment sooner or later.
