MAHAYANA SUTRA
The fourth lecture - "The Attainment and the Perfection of Jnana
Yoga" THE THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF PAST LIVES WHICH LEADS US TO THE TRUTH

Today I shall begin from the supplement explanation of Kundalini
Yoga which was the topic for yesterday.
By Kundalini Yoga, we recognize the existence of this phenomenal
world, the existence of the Astral world, and the existence of the
Causal world. In other world, he recognize that the whole world is
made out of three wolrds of the phenomenal world, the Astral world,
and the Causal world.
Of course we can recognize these existence in Raja Yoga, but it is
difficult to recognize the causal world since the basement of Raja
Yoga is will. Unless we passes through the process of will, we can
not understand the Causal world. Raja Yoga is the state when one
can control your sight, hearing, touch, or smell which is little
more rough than that of the Astral world.
However, it is not the case with Kundalini Yoga. One will be able
to undrstand the Astral world and the Causal world. And we need to
know what kind of changes can it happen to him when he could do so.
The Kundalini Yoga is the process which I had written in "Beyond
Life and Death". So the practitioner will take the process of
"Bardo Yoga", "Yoga of Dream", "Yoga of Illusion", and "Yoga of
Light".
The person on this person begins to see various dreams about his
past lives. This is the thorough knowledge of past lives. He
begins to see variety of his past lives. Then, he recognizes that
the human relationship in this life has no reality, because the
human relationship is different in each lives.
I often hear about the offering toward the ancesters or about
worshipping the dead, but in fact they are the idealistic religions
which was made by the powerless spiritual practitioners. They are
not the truth. The truth is to understand that even the
relationship between parents and children, or brothers, occured by
one's karmic connections, and that there will be the different type
of karmic connection in the next lives.
THE GROWTH OF THE REAL EQUALITY
So, there will be no one but Guru who is necessary for the ones
who had attained the Kundalini Yoga. However, even the Guru has no
reality. Guru is only the guide for this person to go up the stair
of the truth.
How will he going to observe this world in such case? He will be
able to see in calm the attached people such as lovers, parents,
children, and so forth, as equal as other people.
Here comes the "equality" within "the four immeasurable minds".
The partial points of view which he used to have will disappear.
There will be the ability to observe everything in equal manner.
There will be the ability to observe everything in cool manner.
Then let's say that he saw everything in equal and cool manner.
What kind of benefit can he recieve? He will obtain the ability to
observe this world in pure manner. Do you remember that the
condition of Jnana Yoga was to have non-partial point of view?
So now we have had the conditions to have non-partial point of
view. In other words, the real mind of equality appears only after
the attainment of Raja Yoga and the attainment of Kundalini Yoga.
By the way, Mr. Joyu, Ms. Miyakozawa, and Ms. Yamamoto are doing
their extreme effort on their spiritual practice in almost
completely isolated space. One of them had attained Raja Yoga, and
one of them had attained Kundalini Yoga, in other words, the same
spiritual level as Khema-Taishi.
However, if I took them out from their intensive practice as
attainers, I will have to let them practice the same things as
other general staffs are doing in this seminar. That is why I let
them practice separately, so as to let their spiritual stage pulled
up as high as possible. All it is necessary is for me to take a
little burden.
If they come out, they should practice hard to keep their present
spiritual stage while doing service acticities to you such as Khema-
Taishi or Shanti-Taishi. It has a lot of difficulties. So I tell
them to do spiritual practice now as much as possible. Perhaps
they practice more than 10 hours everyday according to the program
which I had given to them.
