Can yoga meditation ever be taught? Is there even one example in the entire history of mankind where one could successfully teach yoga meditation to a student, a seeker? Such precepts, such thinking only exists on paper. In real life, such concepts did not exist.
Yoga meditation means our following path of contemplation, path of self enquiry… logical reasoning all the time. Negation of karma to zero is the end goal of all yoga meditation. In absence of dross impurities within, soul atman reaches stage of absolute purity. For a pure soul atman need to manifest another human body now ceased to exist, cycle of birth and death finally coming to an end!
If yoga meditation could be taught then teacher remaining the same, teaching stuff remaining the same… all students should come first in class. No matter what happens, in every class one student comes first and the other last! Everything depends on invocation, intelligence of the student. In real life, the spiritual master, guru could only act as a guide clarifying our queries but could never teach yoga meditation.
Centers of yoga meditation world over meant nothing. They were only a means to realize material wealth. How can people reach stage of enlightenment through these yoga meditation centers? One who had yet to reach stage of enlightenment… how could one impart training of yoga meditation to others?
Had Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed not tried this path? After Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed none in Jainism, Buddhism, Christianity or Islamic Dharma reached stage of enlightenment. This clearly implies yoga meditation could not be taught. Yoga meditation is the precept, indulgence in spirituality… path towards God Almighty!
One can travel spiritual path seriously, sincerely and successfully only by following path of contemplation, logical reasoning… self enquiry. What do we expect Mahavira and Siddhartha Gautama did sitting under a bodhi tree. Both indulged in deep contemplation, logical reasoning to reach hidden cosmic truths of life. A continuous journey of 12 years on path of deep contemplation, self enquiry… logical reasoning was necessitated to unveil hidden cosmic truths of life contained in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads.
A true seeker must always follow path undertaken by an enlightened one. Why follow such dubious preachers who truly had nothing to deliver? No matter how best I tried I could never get a spiritual master to guide me in the journey of life. My search was whimsical. When in my times there was no enlightened one present on mother earth, how could I get one. This reality I learnt later in life.
The end goal of yoga meditation… stage of enlightenment was not that easy to achieve. In the last about 150 years amongst 7 billion people existing world over only two spiritual stalwarts Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana finally succeeded in negating karma to zero, becoming a pure soul atman in the cosmic journey of life. Both initially started their search of god via path of bhakti yoga and karma yoga but realizing enlightenment could not be achieved that way… both finally switched to path of jnana yoga that involved contemplating, logical reasoning, travelling path of self enquiry.
