Father – Son – Holy Spirit

Brahman (God, Father) is expressed in the yoga texts teachings as, Sat, Truth, Absolute, Bliss – Tat, as universal intelligence or Christ Consciousness; Aum, is Cosmic intelligence, creative vibration, the Word – symbol for God.

AUM (Om) The Sanskrit root word or seed sound symbolizing that aspect of the God Head which creates and sustains all things; Cosmic Vibration.

Aum of the Vedas became the scared word Hum of the Tibetans; Amin of the Muslims; Amen of the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Jews and Christians.

The world’s great religions state that all created things originate in the cosmic vibratory energy of Aum or Amen, the word or Holy Ghost.

“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....All things were made by him (the word or Aum); and without him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:1, 3.

Amen in Hebrew means faithful. “These things said the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God” (Revelation 3:14).

Christ is the title of Jesus: Jesus the Christ. “Christ” is not Jesus' last name. Christ comes from the Greek word Christos, meaning “anointed one” or “chosen one”

This term also denotes God’s universal intelligence immanent in all of creation (sometimes referred to as universal Christ or the Infinite Christ),

Christ Consciousness, the projected consciousness of God immanent in all creation. In the Christian  scriptures, the only begotten son, “ the only pure reflection in creation of God the Father; in yoga Kutastha Chaitanya or Tat, the universal consciousness , or cosmic intelligence of Spirit everywhere present in creation.

It is the universal consciousness, oneness with God, manifested by Jesus and other avatars (incarnations of God). Yogis know it as the state of samadhi meditation wherein their consciousness has become identified with the divine intelligence in every particle of creation; they feel the entire universe as their body.

Meditation

Meditation is interiorized concentration with the object of perceiving God. True meditation, dhyana, is conscious realization of God through intuitive perception. It is achieved after the practitioner has attained steady concentration whereby he disconnects his attention from the senses and is completely undisturbed by sensory impressions from the outer world.

A look at Trinity, triune nature of God

When Spirit manifests in creation, it becomes trinity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, or as mentioned at the beginning, Sat, Tat, Aum. The Father (Sat) is God as the Creator existing beyond creation (cosmic consciousness). This is not a state of consciousness to be achieved; it is to be realized as, existing beyond space, time and causality.

The Son (Tat) is God’s omnipresent intelligence existing in creation (Christ Consciousness).

The Holy Spirit (Aum) is the vibratory power of God that objectifies and becomes creation .

What expresses God?

Sat-Chit-Ananda expresses the essential nature of Spirit as eternal Being or Truth (Sat), infinite consciousness (Chit), and ever new Bliss (Ananda).

The Self in humans as opposed to the ego

Self capitalized denotes the soul, or atman as distinguished from the ordinary self, which is the personality or ego.

The Self is individualized Spirit, whose nature in ever existing, ever conscious, ever new bliss, joy. Experience of these divine qualities of the soul’s nature is achieved through meditation.

Ego or ahamkara, (I do) is the root cause of duality or seeming separation between the human and his Creator.

Ahamkara brings humans under the sway of delusion (maya), by which the subject (ego) falsely appears as the object; creatures imagine themselves to be creators. By banishing ego-consciousness, one awakens to his divine identity, his oneness with the Sole Life: God.

Self realization as defined by Paramahansa Yogananda is, “the knowing in body, mind and soul that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.”

What is maya?

Maya is the delusory power inherent in creation, by which the One becomes the many. Maya is the principle of inversion, contrast, duality, oppositional states; “Satan, adversary, devil,”whom Christ described as a murderer and a liar, because there is no truth in him (John 8:44).
