A model for yogic psychosynthesis today
91
it has been our effort to present a model for Yogic Psychosynthesis and its processes, This is a very big subject and it is very difficult to encompass its very vast canvass into few pages. The culmination of such Psychosynthesis is Moksa, Haribhadra has rightly emphasised Mokşa as the end of all psychosynthesis. It is a long process starting from right conduct and 'culminating in Moksa, It would be very useful if such an elaborate process of psychosynthesis can be presented in a nutshell with its applicability in daily life, pay in the very life process every moment. If such process can be attained it can be called Sahaja-Samadhi and in modern terms it can be described az Sahaja or natural Psychosynthesis. In the elaborate process we have seen that all stages from involved sub-conscious to Superconscious are described and Japa, Tapas Rasa and similar manifold processes are viewed and reviewed along with many other relevant factors of psychosynthesis. Sahaja sādhana is the epitome of such elaborate yoga-processes. It was practised daily every moment by Sant Kabir and he in an ecstacy sings loudly what he experiences as Sahaja-Samadhi. Its two principles are (1) Apāyāsāyāsa or relaxed attention or awareness and (2) synthesis of the immanent and transcendental consciousness. Round these two principles are interwoven all the functions of the body and mind. Ramakrishna Paramahansa describes such Sahaja Samādbi thus: With eyes turned inwards the mind enjoys contact with the infinity or the Supreme Consciousness inside and with eyes open mind can see Him manifested in the universe. Thus by such Sahaja Samadhi psychosynthesis can be practised every moment in the midst of work and the world and thereby the transcendental and the immanent can as well be integrated. Such psychosynthesis can be possible every moment and can well be tested on experiential research. The great American psychologist Murphy's statment in connection with the integrative work of nerves and organs and psyche support our description above; "Intuitive responses apparantly involve a complete fusion of the functioning of the cerebro-spinal axis, sense organs and the muscles that show man's relation to the world and of his visceral and his mind-brain structure that give him his feeling about the world."11 This statement of Murphy can well be supported by experiential data in ordianry life too. In all experience the root of all experience and its effect can be traced to cerebro-spinal axis and fianlly at the top of the brain, which is the seat of Superconsciousness,
Such an inner experience is well supported by a great Indian physicist Professor Jnanananda when he states : "Thus it can be seen that our india vidual will and actions as well as the actions on the cosmic scale are all the outcome of the cosmic-will. Super-Intelligence, the Beness of the * universal Consciousness that is Divine."12 Referring to our polarity concept it can be described as the focussing of the two poles of the Seeker and the Sought, in the Supreme Consciousness and the process of becoming or
