Ihave also explained about the nine natures and the tenth oneby way of supplementation from the Bhagavadgita. You arealso familiar with the three qualities and their application, thepower of habit and how to take advantage of it; the art ofmaking a withdrawal from the existing social contacts and makingnew contacts that are conducive to Yoga development. Wehave known about the five types of measures and the threemodes of application.When once the touch of the soul-consciousness is there,the environment will be transformed as the presence of the onesoul, the higher existence. Repeat the idea of awareness until itbecomes continuous. This is what Patanjali instructs us in the16th Aphorism of the First Book. Then the highest being in uspresents himself. He is beyond qualities. By his touch we willbe able to gain mastery over the eight natures and the fabric oftheir vehicles. The subjugation of the ego takes place. Rememberthat this ego belongs to the not-self and it has nothing to dowith the ego described by Master D. K. The technical termsof the Yoga Science have no exact equivalents in English, hencewe call the consciousness of the lower self as the lower ego.The ego described by Master D. K. is the higher ego, which isthe permanent atom and which forms the screen of all the stagesof evolution. Just as the postal department has its Branch PostOffices in the various corners of the City or town, the higher
Lesson - 4 65ego has its centres as the lower egos, each located in the notselfof every one, which serves the purpose of living until thehigher ego of his is opened in the realms of the lower self. Thephysical sheath which we call the physical body is fabricatedwith the earth, air, water, fire and ether of the earth plane. Theyare called the five Bhutas or the five states of existence. For allpractical purposes of the lower nature we call the ninth natureby the name, God. What we call God is nothing but our ownimpression of God and not the original God. Since the impressionis formed in the lower nature, it is the higher nature (the ninthone) which serves the purpose of God from the level of personalGod to the level of God the Absolute. To remember the realGod from this God, this ninth nature is called the Mother-God,while the tenth one is called the Father. The utterance or therespiration of the tenth one forms the means of communicationand is called the Guru or the Holy Ghost. This is about thesame thing but expressed in the symbols of religion. ReligiousGod is no one but the Yogic Concept of Ishwara garbed inreligious apparel.Religious discipline is less scientific train the Yogic discipline.Religious terminology calls the soul-light our God while Yogicterminology names it as Ishwara, the Lord. So religions showus the same God and call Him our God. Since the religiousteachers had to deal with the emotional aspect (Astral Plane)of the people they have to teach about Him as my God andyour God. Yogic seers have no such obligation and hence theycall Him, Ishwara, the Lord of all, who exists in every heart.Religious teachers, take to the thankless duty of tackling theemotional aspect and scavenging humanity of the emotion.The Masters of Wisdom are there only to recruit disciples fromthe selected pupils who have prepared themselves and shownthe readiness. The religious teachers have to plunge themselvesinto the stinking world to clean the souls. Buddha was no
