TO
BE OR NOT TO BE is the question for those who
aspire to Raja-Yoga. Will is the law of
being and when you know yourself as will you are a divine being. Self-rulership is the aim of the
raja-yogi, not rulership from inclination or passing fancy. The Self (Atman), is the spark of divinity within, and responds from within the light of a clear consciousness, and not from desire or limited self-interest. To be a raja-yogi, it is necessary to continuously practise continual Self-remembrance and to live in the present and not be caught by inertia, as each action plays itself out in time. Mathew 6:22 “if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light”; which is to have one aim, to become Self-realised and to Will what God wills for you. To gain the clarity that links each level to the most profound levels of spiritual insight, Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga, has given us the hierarchical steps, which if we have the will, and a willingness to do the work, will gradually clear the fog of delusion, so that we see clearly and take each next step in accord with the highest.
