Qn: Is the practice of Yoga always conscious or can it be quite unconscious, below the threshold of awareness?
Ans: In the beginning, practice is deliberate and determined. Unconscious Sadhana is most effective.
Yoga is the work of the inner Self (Vyakta) on the outer Self (Vyakti).
All advice to the outer is negative, Not this; Not this. All positives belong to the inner Self, as all absolutes to Reality.
Qn: How to distinguish the inner from the outer in actual experience?
Ans: The inner is the source; the outer is moved by memory. Mistake lies in imagining inner to be something to get hold of, forgetting that all perceivables are transient and therefore unreal.
That which makes perception possible, call it Life or Brahman, is real.
Qn: Is there any virtue in repeating name of God?
Ans: By calling God by name, you make Him come to you. When a Saint gives you a Mantra, repeated with faith and devotion, destiny can be overcome easily. The sound of the Mantra creates the shape embodying the Self.
It is the link between Word and Energy. The realized man knows what others merely hear but don't experience. To go beyond consciousness is the Supreme State.
The Real is not a state of mind or consciousness or psyche. It is Itself. Only in silence and darkness, can it be heard and seen.
