Our breath has loads of information which we have not tapped it at all
And someone with negative vibes comes, it shows up in your breath
You can feel that
Your breath will show that
And whatever the feeling the other person has, you can feel in your breath
Someone with lot of anger comes in front of you, then you see something is happening
The fire element is coming in your breath
And similarly when someone is telling a lie to you, you can recognize
Ah, this person is telling lies
Ok, my dear
Oh Ok Ok Ok go ahead
See this is such a subtle science I tell you
It's fascinating
Our right nostril is called the bright
Left nostril is called Chandranaadi, which is the dark
And so different activities are allocated for these naadis
When the right naadi is functioning, your grasping power is more
You understand better
I am talking and if your left is functioning, half of it goes and half of it goes away
You don’t absorb it fully
If you eat when left is functioning, then more chances of you falling sick
Eat when the right nostril is functioning
Never eat in the left
And if you happen to eat, then you change it to the right
Same way the elimination happens good, when the right is functioning
If you have gone to toilet with the left, then you will go again
You will go again within one hour time
One, one and a half hour time
You will have to go
When the right is functioning your elimination is complete
Then you don’t have to worry for 5-6 hours
You don’t need to
And if you sleep with your right nostril on, that is taking your
sight to your left side. Sleep on your left side, your sleep is better, deeper
And you will complete
You feel energized
If you sleep on the other side, on the left side, you feel light sleep
Though you wake up, you want to lie down
If you see how your breath flows with the time of the day,
with sunrise, moon rise, with the cosmic events, you will be amazed
They are so correlated
Just observe in the morning when the sun rises, either of your nostril will function
Either right will go or left will function
Not both, at that moment
So our nostrils functioning and the sunrise
is connected with the time and the moon’s position as well
Yogi can change this
That is why there is a yogadanda, they keep a staff under the hand,
that is to change the naadi
From left to right, right to left
You can just keep a pillow on the opposite side for you to have the nostril change
to change the breathing in the nostrils
If you want the right nostril to go on, then press the left side
Opposite side
The right will move on
If both are functioning that is when nothing works in the body
Only meditation
Only prayer, meditation
And one should observe, when you take a flight, you observe both nostrils work
Just for a few seconds
May be half a minute, take off time
When you go near a temple both nostril will function
When you meet Gurudev in the beginning, both nostril will function
You go near any place of worship
Church, mosque or temple
Suddenly both will function
And also at airport
The thing is breath, this prana does not know to make a difference between an airport and a temple
Because both lifts you up
One uplifts the body and the other uplifts the spirit
But function is the same
Like that
Breathing assumes its own rhythms and cycle when the soul is leaving the body
So according to one’s karma, the naadi starts working, the soul leaves through the left nostril
Or it goes through the right nostril
When it exists through the right nostril, then it is free
It goes with the knowledge
It is more aware, that is wisdom
If it is going through the left side, then it is going with certain intentions and emotions
So it is going to come back
And it is connected to life also
If you see when the right nostril is functioning, you will find there is more left brain activity,
And so you are more alert, you are conscious and you are logical
But when the left is functioning, then your right brain is more active
That means you are more emotional and you have intentions to do some thing
You have plans
So when you have plans, you have to come back soon
When both are functioning, that is Sushumna Naadi, then that is Samadhi
Then you will exit in meditative state, then you have no obligation
You don’t have to come back
You are merging with the infinite instantaneously
Even if you have to come back, it is by a grand plan
For the sake of others
Not for your own sake
And a yogi has the freedom whether to come back or not
By leaving itself he has attained the highest
So he chooses to come back if he wants to
Or no need
See Lord Krishna says I will come again and again
Sambhavami yuge yuge
I will come in every age
In every age I am going to come back again
I have a mission to uplift the dharma
I want to uplift the righteousness
Then Krishna, did he die from the left nostril or right nostril is functioning?
When did Krishna pass away?
Then what about all those people who passed later 6 months?
Does it appear the same?
The northern hemisphere is different from southern hemisphere
Winter in the north is summer in the south
Vice-versa
Then how does this apply?
It is not one panchang for the whole world
It is all different
Every place has its own almanac
It is not the same
6 months of northern hemisphere is different from 6 months of southern hemisphere
And what about people who live in the equator
So when you take this literally on the gross level
It appears to be very localized
And when you go little deeper and see, it is not just the outer
It is about the prana, the breath that is flowing inside of you
It is about the energy
Then whole different avenue opens in front of you
The macrocosm and the microcosm are one in fact and that is such a deep connection between them
Such a deep connection
And breath is also a science of this connection
It is amazing science to know about it
But you know it takes a long time to study, practice these things
It is a very strenuous exercise
You have nothing else to do
Keep watching your breath 24 hours and all that
Simplicity
If you are pure in your heart, simple, good intention,
you wish good for everybody,
automatically your breath your prana is aligned to nature
This is what I've found
Simple devotion makes the right swara go at the right time
Automatically it happens
