THE POWER OF DHARANA, DHIYANA, AND SAMYAMA YOGA.

The different practices of Dharana Yoga to control the mind power and attain success are stepping stones in Yoga.

Thru the power of Dharana Yoga, Yogis have proven that they can control every function of the body, such as heart action etc.; also controlling wild beasts, reptiles, etc..

Sending thought directions to one when he looses his way. I have been helped many times by my Master thru the power of Dharana Yoga, as once being lost in the mountains, and again when there was no food or shelter, he sent me telepathic messages directing me which way I should go, although he was hundreds of miles from the place where I was. The power of Dharana is the most wonderful of the .

Once when sitting by the Master in a small town, a chicken-hawk swooped down upon a small chicken. The little fellow

fought for his life. The mother hen did all she could by fighting and squalling, but that was not enough, the poor chicken was in the mouth of death. The Master looked up at the hawk once and the hawk and chicken came to earth. Then and there both were friendly, and remained in the company of each other for some time. It was a great joy for me to see a chicken and a hawk associating together peacefully--it was indeed heavenly.

At sunset my Master once again looked upon the chicken and the hawk; lo, at once the chicken ran to his mother, and the hawk flew in the air. That was all done by the power of Samyama.

What is Samyama and Dharana? It is of three kinds: gross, subtle and luminous. Mastery of mind and of will, What is will? Yogis know will is power. It can do anything for you and will set you free. The Master said: "By will man may become a Deva (like God), or the opposite." The Bible says: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." The difference between a human being and the Divine: man desires the God will, His will works. As long as man

desires, yet doubts his power, the doubt is the killer.

Make up your mind. Stick with the will, that you can do a thing, and it is then already half done. But when you doubt in yourself--that you can not, it will never be done. You develop the will and become like Brahma.

The Yogis open the inner eye by Dharana, and by opening the inner eye nature becomes like an open book. There is nothing hidden from them. They see their inner body as an ordinary man sees the outer body. They see how the different glands work; see the connection between the two bodies, the gross and the subtle; see where the Chakras are, see, the five Pranas and know how to gather them together to hold on one Chakra to open it. They know all.

Why do we not all see such things as the Yogis see? Because the Yogis have developed their inner eye and have made their mind a great faculty.
