Than or whom the Highest is our I? Whether we are the rough physical body? And there can be we it is group of bodies? It is very difficult subject, so there is no her understanding owing to the fact that answers to these questions come to the person when he samoosoznat himself enough! What road to go to the practician that this understanding came?
One of methods helping to understand who we are is actually, meditation is. For example, meditation on the physical body gives us understanding that our body isn't ours I. The same way meditation on the thin and causal body, or bodies, leads to understanding that I it not our body.
As soon as three of these levels are fulfilled, that is we worked with the rough, thin and causal body, the ability to operate our body comes. As soon as we in the understanding razotozhdestvlyatsya with our bodies, such ability comes very quickly.
Why it occurs? It comes from the fact that we understand that we and our bodies it is absolutely different things. We not only know it at the theoretical level, on level of credibility to knowledge, we can already feel it! We already know that we don't depend on the body! And what we don't depend on, gets under our management!
We can work with the body at that level that if, let us assume, something in it not to be pleasant to us, we can remake and change it with ease as we want! If we completely didn't realize that we don't depend on the body, then it resembles the situation when ourselves try to extend ourselves for hair from the hole.
If we try to operate the body when to us knowledge didn't come that we aren't this body, then such attempts will lead to disappointments and failures! We, on the one hand, subconsciously consider ourselves by the body, and on the other hand, we try to operate it. Same contradiction! The situation as though held apple in one hand turns out, and other hand would try to pull out it.
All our attempts to operate the body until until we worked it in meditation, are useless!
There is such film shot in the seventies "The Indian yogis who are they?". There one man drank acid salt and had a snack on the glass. The strongest ability to operate the body is so shown! The western person is attracted by such abilities. For example, ability to sit on nails or to go on beaten glass. Such abilities will come by itself when you realize that you aren't own body!
It as for the physical, rough body. The next stage when the practician works with the thin body. When understanding of that comes, as the thin body for you is the stranger as the clothes, come ability to operate the experiences and feelings. It is very high level of yoga!
At last, the third stage is the management of the thoughts! It is already the highest stage. And people who reached it it is Teachers of yoga! At this stage we already completely will be able to own the body! Something, for example, in us doesn't arrange to us. We with ease can change it when it wants to us!
In the book "Gorokho's Victory" it is that Gorokho to talk some sense into the Teacher, turned into the woman. He made it because in the palace let only dancers. And in such appearance of Gorokho danced for the teacher until that left the saddened state. Then he turned into the man again.
The yoga says to us that at such high level of consciousness it isn't difficult to make it! If axiomatically to approach this question, then it and really not the problem for advanced soul. Because we have no floor! In this life we, for example, the man, and in following, very much can be, we will become the woman.
