Subject: [K-list] Kundalini Shakti and Ahimsa 
From: Harsha
  
On 2001/09/16  07:45, Harsha posted thus to the K-list: Kundalini practices and rituals and their mystical visionary manifestations 
are described in one form or another in almost every religion or spiritual 
tradition.
 
Sages and scriptures declare, however, that although many superconscious 
experiences and manifestations of siddhis are possible through Kundalini 
Yoga, Self reveals itself only in a calm and clear mind.
 
In Patanjali's Yoga sutras, Ahimsa (the attitude of nonviolence and amity 
towards living beings) is mentioned as the first yama (rule or restraint) 
for a Yogi. The ancient sages say that the practice of Ahimsa brings peace.
 
A peaceful mind that has been refined through self-awareness and devotion 
has the capacity to surrender to the Lord of Life, Lord of the Heart. For 
such a devotee, the Goddess does not waste time showing the scenery but 
takes the devotee directly to the Source, the Heart, and reveals that the 
Goddess, Devotee, the Lord are all rooted in the Heart, the Self. All 
scenery and beautiful paths merge in the Self that is It Self the nature of 
Self-Existent Beauty.
 
Here is a quote from "Day by Day with Bhagavan" where Sri Ramana quotes a 
poet saint:
 
Not knowing who I was, 
I used to speak of "I" and "mine" 
But I am You and mine is You, 
Lord whom all the gods adore. (Nammalwar)
