Buddhi Yoga
Patanjali’s Yoga is a frame of “eight-fold path”. These are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi. The eighth stage is represented by Buddhi Yoga, as seen in the Bhagavad Gita. Buddhi Yoga is the highest stage of Yoga. It is a system of methods used in the development of human consciousness. It can only be practiced once you have mastered Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga.
Buddhi Yoga, the unitive discipline of the higher mind, is a devotion of the mind by which the practitioner gains wisdom in seeing the One in all forms. By diverting the mind on God, He is able to control the senses and you are able to connect with Him through intelligence.
Also known as the “Yoga of consciousness”, Buddhi Yoga allows the practitioner to travel the final stage in the evolution of your personal life. It is also a system of meditative methods for self-development as it allows you to know God in all His work and be one with Him. Moreover, it is the path of self-realization.
These are the stages of Buddhi Yoga:
- Develop a spiritual heart and expand it.
- Become acquainted with the Divine Fire.
- Be acquainted, communicate, and merge with the works of Divine Teachers.
- Practice studying the structure of the Absolute.
- Withdrawal of the consciousness from the body
- Mastering the state of Nirodhi through Meditation of total reciprocity, achieving the state of “non-I.”
As the highest stage of Yoga, practicing Buddhi Yoga will enable you to be at peace with yourself and with everyone around you. You are living in God’s life, following His works, and being one with Him. By doing so, it is then that we are able to live life according to His manifestations and desires.
