Question on The power of Pranic Energy

Hello Lee,

Good to receive your query. Coming to the answer,

From the subjective point of view (as regards to curing himself of such diseases), a life of Brahmacharya will gradually negate and throw out each and every toxin present within the physical, mental and causal bodies of man. The science of Yoga ascribes the cause of each and every disease or deviation from health to 'toxins' present within the system and inducted due to past negative karma. A life of Brahmacharya if carried out in thought, word and deed with constant God-meditation with an aim of realizing oneself puts man on to the track leading to purification and finally perfection. A disease such as AIDS is again nothing but the manifestation of past negative karma in the physical body of man. A life of Yoga is the efficient path to achieve the removal of all past karma both positive and negative and thereby reach the 'Shuddhâtma sthithi' (pure soul state), whereupon one realizes himself and achieves complete enlightenment. Since removal of all irregularities and impurities are mandatory to reach the above state, the removal of all diseases including AIDS should come within the purview.

This however comes with a caveat. The 'Prârabdha karma' (karma which is mandatory to be worked out in this birth) cannot be delayed, denied or sidestepped. It represents those past actions of ours that are to be worked out through happiness or suffering (based on whether they are positive or negative) in this very birth without fail. If a man has much merit in his 'Prârabdha' say to the effect that he is destined to experience a life of luxury and wealth, he will experience this state of plenty, immaterial of whether he wants it or doesn't and to the extent of the weight of the past positive karma till it is fully expended. Similarly a man who has much demerit in his 'Prârabdha' say to the effect that he is destined to suffer from a deadly disease like AIDS for three decades will undergo pain & suffering for that period of time but not more. This is the precise reason why many saints and realized souls themselves were afflicted with a deadly disease or suffered a painful death in spite of their holiness (as in the case of Jesus). Past karma that is ripe for unfolding makes no exception and does not differentiate whether a man is a Yogi or a layman. That which is destined to be experienced by this body and mind in this existence will unfold immaterial of whether one wants it or doesn't. Only an advanced yogi who has the power to decipher the details of past karma stored in his 'Kârana Sharira' (causal body) through deep meditation in Samâdhi (super-conscious state) can get to know the extent of his positive and negative past karma and their results in the current existence.

From the objective point of view (as regards to curing others who have been afflicted with such diseases) a very advanced Yogi with 'Siddhis'(superhuman powers) to cure diseases will be able to cure the diseases of those people who are destined for a cure or in other words deserve to be relieved of the suffering. In other words these diseased people have reached the state where they have worked out the karma and are ready to get free from the problem. The karmic cycle like everything else in the cosmos is fully governed by the laws of creation and the laws of nature. Even super-normal powers or miraculous powers fall within the purview of the law of nature and are really not miracles in the real sense. Being outside the ability of the common man, these powers appear superhuman, while in reality, they are only a representation of the unfolding of the limitless powers that the 'Shuddhâtma' (pure soul) possesses. But even the highest powers that the yogi possesses that he puts into action using his Prâna are still within the purview of the universal laws of nature and hence these cannot be made use of to cure a person who has not yet worked out his 'Prârabdha' and is hence not destined to get cured. Such a person has to go through the suffering with no other option.

All the cases where we see or hear of great Yogis curing people of diseases are those where the afflicted person has worked out most of his bad karma or has worked them out to such an extent that he deserves to get cured shortly. An advanced yogi who has developed these powers first connects into the 'Kârana Sharira' (causal body) of the diseased person and learns of the cause and nature of the disease by knowing the past karma that has caused the disease in the first place. He then also becomes clear on whether the person is destined for a cure and if so the method of transferring health and vitality by negating the particular toxin through the transfer of Prâna. The Yogi acts as the medium in relieving the person of the malady in the divine cosmic dream and does not in reality remove the disease. He is more like an agent of God working on God's behalf. It is the Almighty Lord who cures the man of the disease in reality further to all past karma having being extinguished or deserving to be negated.

The length of time one has to immerse oneself in a life of Brahmacharya and Yoga to achieve such powers is very arbitrary and varies from one aspirant to the other depending upon innumerable factors such as one's evolutionary level and the time, honesty, thoroughness, devotion and effort  one puts into a such a life of virtue. Most of the saints and supermen who have these powers are those who have never aspired for such powers but have been awarded the same by the Almighty with the view of reducing suffering in society. These powers have been found to be under the reach of only those people who use them selflessly for the benefit of mankind and not those who employ them for selfish/questionable purposes. Even in cases of selfless employment the Yogi works only under divine order and not on his personal whims and fancies.

There are other minor 'siddhis' or powers that come to an aspirant after many years of strict Yoga and unbroken Brahmacharya which give him a certain amount of superhuman ability but on a lesser dimension. These include thought reading, thought transference, distant healing, telepathy etc.. All these abilities are put into use using 'Prâna' which acts as the medium of transference of divine will.
