Master named this line as ‘Yoga Line’. Because of the word Yoga, people are expecting Master’s Line like the other ‘Yoga’ formats in vogue.
There is a qualitative fundamental difference between traditional Yoga practices and Master’s Line. Whenever Yoga is mentioned, it refers to Patanjali Yoga. And the ultimate state of ‘Samadhi’ in Patanjali Yoga is to liberate from the process of the birth cycle as it is construed that escaping from the physical plane is the only salvation or the way possible for humans. Whereas, in Master’s Line, physical is the ultimate and needs further development and evolution.
We are all convinced that evolution happens all the time, and very slowly. But the process of this evolution and its results are not comprehensible to our physical senses and the results of evolutionary changes are not visible in one’s lifetime. Something caused this process to start and to proceed forwards. From this context, Master’s Line can be understood better.
Master’s Line set in motion the next process of evolution to proceed to a higher level of human format which includes attaining physical eternity. In Master’s Line, the happenings that trigger actions in the body can be observed depending on one’s ability. In a way, it can be considered as observing the speedy evolutionary changes in one’s own system.
What Master did when in the physical was, to formulate, to structure, and to initiate such a new evolutionary process for physical eternity and for knowing the ‘Deluding One’ in full consciousness. What we can do now is to align ourselves better into that process.
Traditionally Taraka Raja Yoga methods are secretive. In this traditional line, gods and powers of the cosmos are not conceived or worshiped as human forms. There is no personalization of the divine. With the aide of Will Power, by reaching to and by using the forces inside and outside, spiritual heights are achieved by such yogi.
In South India, traditionally two paths are suggested for realizing the Truth by the elders.
1. Leading moralistic way of life and over a period gradually staying away from material aspects of life and using life wave energy exploring the inner self to gain supreme heights of spirituality. Since this is a safe method and it is the suggested method of the ancients for common people. However reaching the goal in one life span is almost impossible.
2. Practicing Taraka Raja Yoga, which gives sudden uplift of spiritual development by initiation in different stages and attaining immortality in terms of the state of non-duality (advaya). However, this can be practiced only by those who have supreme quality elements like complete unselfishness, ability to self-annihilate for the good of mankind, self-abnegation. This yoga is described in AdvayaTaraka Upanishad of Shukla Yajurveda. This practice, which includes posturing (mudra), must be strictly in the presence of a Guru and is a very dangerous one. In this, the pre-yoga part is called Taraka and the post-yoga part is called Amanaska. Mudras like Sambhavi Mudra are part of this practice.
However, the manner in which Master formulated this Line does not cause harm to the practitioner. The objectives of this line are not achievable by any one by practice. These are the processes set in motion in the human and cosmic evolutionary aspects.
