THE ANALOGY OF KURUKSHETRA WITH BODILY FIELD.

The material and moral struggle between good and evil, right and wrong action on the sensory plain of Kurukshetra.

1. The Psychological war waged in yoga meditation on the cerebrospinal plain of Dharmakshetra Kurukshetra between the mental tendencies and inclinations of manas pulling the life and consciousness outward toward matters and pure discriminative tendencies of Buddhi intelligence drawing the life and conscious inward toward the soul.
2. The spiritual battle fought in deeper yoga meditation o the cerebral plain of Dharmakshetra to overcome the lower states of consciousness, and dissolve all egoity and sense of separations from god in Samadhi, the victorious union of soul and spirit in cosmic consciousness.

The advanced yogi may rejoice in this blissful achievement of Samadhi many times, yet find that he cannot maintain this union permanently. He is drawn down again in to ego and body consciousness by his karmas- effects of past actions and by remnants of desires and attachments. But, through each triumphant contact with spirit, the soul consciousness becomes strengthened and more firmly in control of the bodily kingdom. At last karma is overcome, the lower nature of desires and attachments is subdued and ego is slain- the yogi attains kaivalya, liberation, permanent union with god.

Then the liberated yogi may descend his three bodily encasements and remain a free soul in the ever existing, ever consciousness and activities of his body, he does so in the sublime state of nirvikalpa Samadhi. In this highest state of externalized soul consciousness, he remains in his pure soul nature, untouched and unchanged with no loss of God-perception, while he outwardly performs what ever exacting duties may be his position in the fulfillment of the lord’s cosmic plan. This supernal state of being is the uncontested reign of king soul over the bodily kingdom.
