Most people identify themselves with
their bodies and activities. The thought of transcending identification with
the body in favour of spirit is a concept not easily embraced nor understood. There
looms however the danger that when attaching oneself totally to the flesh, it
will make it very difficult to ascend to higher states of consciousness.
Yet everyone eventually has to ascend,
to free the soul into the divine realm, of the Infinite Spirit after death.
From the perspective of yoga, this
requires both, the esoteric meditation method of transcendence and the application
of the Christ like principles of moral and spiritual behaviour.
All emissaries of God speak with a
united voice that the way to ascension is to love all, forgetting oneself in
selfless service and the uplifting of others; to disengage oneself from
attachment to the senses, to possessions, and the emotions that keep one body
and ego bound (anger, fear, lust, and greed); and to love God supremely.
