Chapter-6
Dhyanayoga
15. By applying himself thus constantly the self-controlled yogi attains peace consisting of infinite bliss, that abides in Me. Arjuna, when the Shakti loses her power, the body becomes bereft of form and becomes invisibleto the world. But then the body looks like a banana tree which, shedding its outer skin stands bare in its core or like the sky which has put forth limbs (291-295). When the body assumes this form, the yogi is called the sky-rover. When he attains to his state, his body works wonders in the world. When he walks leaving a trail behind him, then the eight miraculous powers wait upon him at every step. But of what avail are these powers to us? O Arjuna, the elements of earth, water and fire get dissolved in the body. the earth is dissolved by water, water by fire, and the wind dissolves the fire in the heart. Then the wind alone remains, but in the form of the body; and that too becomes absorbed in the sky of the Brahmarandhra (296-300). She retains her shakti form until she becomes one with Brahman. Now she is not known as Kundalini, but takes on the name ‘aerial’ (maruta). Then leaving the jalandhara bandha and breaking open the end of the sushumna nadi she enters the cidakasha of Brahmarandhra. Placing her foot on the back of Omkara, she then crosses the second stage of speech known as pashyanti. Then she pierces the half crescent mantra of Om and enters the cidakasha, as the river enters the sea. Making herself steady in the Brahmarandhra with the conviction that ‘I am Brahman’ she opens her arms and embraces the Brahman there.
