HIGHER PURPOSE

The Divine Attitude

The Eleven is 10+1, which comes from the relationship between the Soul - 1 and the Radiant Body - 10. It implies a permanent parallel relationship between the finite i (small self) and the infinite I (big Self). When we truly come to understand this relationship we begin to embody the 11 as the twin with God. The small i begins living in complete harmony, parallel to the big I.

Living this way, all desires cease, there is no need for competition, all doubts and fears fall away, judging and rejection disappears. We enter a life beyond possession and demands as the two - the other and both become in tune with one another, in sync, both needing the same thing.

There is no physical human 11th Guru, instead it takes the form of Guru Granth Sahib, a large book - they call - the master. Why? Because when you read or chant these words written in this book, they have the capacity to untie you from the knots of your life and instead tie you back to your higher truth - higher purpose - to remember what You want, i also want, as we are one and the same.

When we live with this Divine Attitude, we remember that the state of grace is to go beyond All and yet exist as an Individual. Here in the true balanced 11, we go beyond the 2 (1+1) negative mind, and see the One that exists behind the 2. That there is no distance or difference between us, we are One. Then we can utilise the inner awareness we've cultivated to uplift and heal others. This is the true meaning and purpose of the spiritual path and heart of Kundalini Yoga.

There was a story once told, about Yogi Bhajan giving a lecture to a packed room of people back in the 80s, the theme and message was, the real purpose of Kundalini Yoga. He explained Kundalini is known as the yoga of Awareness. When we bring awareness to our true selves, we can go beyond the ego mind, clear out the old stagnant subconscious fears and beliefs, to truly live from our deeper inner wisdom and hearts.

He went on to say, it's not enough just to cultivate awareness for the self, instead the real purpose of Kundalini Yoga is to have enough self awareness to serve and uplift other. To cast our self awareness net out far and wide to include it all. To utilise that awareness to notice and include the others struggles, the others pain, to not turn away under pressure or discomfort but instead reach out a hand, pick up the phone, or send a text. This he said was the real purpose of Kundalini Yoga, to know, recognise the other is you, to come back to your heart and act from a place of love.

Then, right in the middle of the talk he stopped, all his focus and attention went directly onto a middle aged woman in the crowd. He started yelling at her, saying all sorts of things, the crowd were perplexed and bewildered. He kept going, and going until finally she snapped, broke down and burst into tears. Everyone couldn't believe it, and went to her aid, to hold and support her, YB left the room.

Much later when Yogi Bhajan returned, he approached the lady and apologised. He sat beside her with curiosity and kindness, asked her to explain to the others what had been happening for her. She quietly shared that up until that point where she cried she had been wanting to take her own life. Yogi Bhajan's attention had been a deliberate attempt to snap her out of this mindset and bring her and her aura back online, literally. It worked and showed everyone else how deeply important the heart of Kundalini Yoga is and how powerful a tool it is when used with awareness. When We heal our self, we can uplift and heal others.

If you are reading this, it means you have made it through one very tough year, and more than likely learnt a whole lot about yourself along the way. Maybe you were able to let go of some very old patterns and fears that no longer serve you. When we let go, we allow the old to die, fall away and a space for the new emerge arises. Having the courage to let go, creates a stronger nervous system, which cultivates a deeper awareness of self to Self. This creates a deep trust, i am living parallel with the Universal One, and our heart opens. We can keep our heart open in hell. This is super important in these challenging times. We all know someone who is suffering or struggling, and many don't have such a tool as Kundalini or meditation.

So next time, when your'e out there in the world, going through the paces, don't forget to pause, breathe, listen, then turn to the person next or really pay attention to the person in front of you and check in from that place of kindness, compassion and love.

Yogi Bhajan showed us through these teachings, the main purpose of this spiritual path is to bring awareness to self first, then take that awareness and share it with love and acceptance with All. What else could your higher purpose possibly be? When we heal self we connect to Self and we can heal the entire planet. This is the Divine Attitude to live and breathe by.
