Human Body – The Best System Possible
Patanjali goes one step further and says, all the best things of all animals swimming, flying, and all possibilities are added and put in the one form of the human body. You may ask, 'Then why are we not able to fly?' It is because you never trusted yourself that it is possible to fly.
Let me be very frank, I have seen with my own eyes a person who has achieved perfection in the science of yoga and he was able to levitate from the ground. His name is Raghupati Yogi. I myself have seen this with my own eyes and I can really vouch for Patanjali's words. Flying is possible by human beings.
But Raghupati Yogi who achieved these powers was so honest, even though he had so many powers, after exhibiting all those powers to me and inspiring me, told me in the end, 'My son, I have not achieved the ultimate thing and am still struggling. Don't put too much of your energy in achieving all these powers. I showed all these powers to inspire you but do not waste your time in these extraordinary powers. Achieve the best thing which can be achieved through the human body. Now I am telling you about all these possibilities just to tell you that the human body is the best system, the most sophisticated system. All intelligent things, all great powers are available in this system.' That is the greatness of Raghupati Yogi. I had the fortune to live with him for ten years.
I myself have seen a person who lived at least ten years without food or water. One great siddha, Narayanaswamy, was living in my hometown for more than five years. I had the opportunity to be around him. He never ate or drank anything. He used the possibility to get energy directly from the sun rays.
See, what plants do, you can also do. What birds do can happen in your body. The possibility exists. All you need to do is remind yourself. You need to remind your system about the possibility.
I am telling all these things to inspire and to give you the courage that the possibility exists. I tell you, the same way the possibility for enlightenment exists in you. Remind yourself. Remind your senses, remind your system - you can radiate enlightenment.
