Life Surrendered, a Yoga Perspective

Understanding Creation and our part in it

To manifest creation, Spirit causes a vibration of duality, dividing Its One Being into the transcendent inactive Creator. His active Creative Power; into God the Father and Cosmic Mother Nature, into Spirit and Nature, subject and object, positive and negative, attraction and repulsion.

It is duality that makes the birth of the many out of the One possible.

In His active objectifying Creative Vibration ( Holy Ghost or Maha-Prakriti), God Himself is subjectively present in an unchanged , unaffected reflection as the Universal Spirit we know as Kutastha Chaitanya, Krishna or Christ consciousness.

That immanent guiding Intelligence, the subjective consciousness or Soul of the universe, empowers the structuring of the omnipotent Vibratory Force into myriad objective manifestations; in the womb of Mother Nature. This is how Spirit gives birth to creation.

It is by becoming one with this Christ intelligence that man of realization can see Spirit and Nature together, beholding the imperishable amidst the perishing, and realizing the endless permutations of life, change, and death as the ecstatic dance of Spirit and Nature on the stage of infinite space and time.”

Whatever exists, every being, every object; the animate, the inanimate is be born from the union of Spirit and Nature.

He sees who perceives the Supreme Lord present equally in all creatures, the imperishable amidst the perishing.

Ordinary persons see only Nature because their consciousness is focused externally on the screen of material vibration; but when the consciousness is reversed and focused on the Intelligence of the Christ, then is it possible to perceive the singularity of the Christ consciousness present in all of creation.

It is important to realize that Spirit has become creation, that all things are a glorious manifestation of God. 

Body bound souls, being identified with earthly things; focus their attention exclusively toward matter.

Spiritually awakened souls attuned and guided by Cosmic Consciousness through intuition and grace, enjoy the transcendent awareness of the heavenly kingdom within.

The Only reflected Intelligence of the Transcendental God in vibratory creation is the Christ intelligence that has control over all of creation.

Devotees, who become one with this Intelligence in meditation, are said to be in a state of savikalpa samadhi, or in Christ consciousness.

It should be the aim of every devotee to awaken to Self and God consciousness.
