The Yoga of Patanjali

Lesson - 1 21there are magnets assembled into electro-magnetic units to transmitsoul-light through us, insulated in our bodies. Without insulationthere is no flow of the current. Hence the need of the bodies isthere and we have them from nature.We are always exposed to these magnets, ‘the Mastersof Wisdom’. Though we live in a reacting activity on nonself,though we are exposed to the many temptations in the outerworld we are equally exposed to the presence of the Mastersand their influence is always stronger since they are alreadyseasoned magnets.

The earth has its north pole andsouth pole and its own magnetic lines of force passing throughus. It is rotating on its own axis while the Sun’s apparent pathis working as a spiral around the magnet. The total makes agenerator of what we call ‘Life’. You see how the armature inan induction coil causes electricity. The rotation of the earthcauses day and night and sunrise and sunset which do not existto themselves but they exist to us. The hours and minutes ofthe day and night, when arranged into the programme of workcause the induction required to make you an electro-magnet.Part of the work is produced by the Masters of Wisdom andthe rest is produced as the planetary work of the earth whichis a part of the work of the Solar system. Magnets are used toproduce new magnets. The first cause, the Lord of this Solar
