Life is energy. Without energy, there is no life. The modification of the mind is supported and influenced by energy. Without energy, there is no modification of the mind. The thinking and acting mind that is functioning under the influence of ignorance and its by-products (the restless impure modification of the mind), ignorantly attaching onto and identifying with the restless impure modification of the mind as what/who it is, and generates attachment, desires (craving and aversion), actions, and reactions towards the mind perception of names and forms of all kinds of experiences, that give rise to the consequences of actions and reactions, that are impacting the physical and mental condition or the state of the mind of oneself, as well as affecting all and everything in the surrounding environment.
The ignorant mind keeps hurting itself and others and the surrounding environment, either wittingly (intentional action and reaction influenced by ignorance, egoism, impurities, or restlessness) or unwittingly (instinctive action and reaction influenced by survival instinct), out of the disturbed dissatisfied discontented agitated unease suffering state of mind (occupying and over-powering by ignorance and its by-products).
And hence, the minds that are aware of this, and if they want to know and understand (free from ignorance), or want to stop hurting oneself and all and everyone and everything, or have yearning towards liberation/freedom/peace/suffering free, then the path of yoga and meditation, or self-inquiry and self-realization, is there, if they want.
Yoga and meditation practice act as the tool or medium to -
Conserve energy - Not spending energy in worldly passionate egoistic ideas, affairs, connections, activities, and interactions, as well as dealing with all kinds of ignorance and consequences of ignorance.
Purify energy - Unblock any energy blockage (release physical/mental/emotional tension built up deriving from ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness), while filtering and restricting the type of physical and mental energy inputs/consumption/influential elements that feed or influence the physical and mental condition or the state of mind.
Channel energy - Focus the existing energy or attention entirely onto self-inquiry to know Thyself, to free the modification of the mind from ignorance and its by-products (restless births and deaths of ceaseless thoughts arising, changing, and passing away), that leads to the annihilation of the modification of the mind, or Silence, or Samadhi, or resting in peace that is unconditional and unlimited, or devoid of restless births and deaths of ceaseless thought after thought arising, changing, and passing away, interchanging in different realms of different states of mind. - Yoga Citta Vritti Nirodhah
Transcend energy (the selfless impermanent existence and function of the limited and conditional body and mind) - The attainment of self-realization towards the truth of selflessness and impermanence enables the selfless mind to let go or transcend effortlessly its own selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function that is existing and functioning selflessly under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, and all THAT that it perceives/experiences in the momentary worldly life existence of names and forms that is selfless and impermanent, regardless of whether all kinds of names and forms/experiences that it perceives/experiences are pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable, and agreeable or disagreeable.
Upon Self-realization or TRANSCEND takes place, the selfless mind may or may not utilize the existing momentary worldly existence under the selfless support of energy and elements to be performing selfless service to serve the world, unconditionally, while not being determined or over-powered by the selfless impermanent existence and function of the limited conditional body and mind, a.k.a. energy and elements and cause and effect, or survival instinct.
Anything that has a beginning of existence and an end of existence, of birth and death, that comes under specific name, form, and attribute (quality), that is constantly changing between birth (beginning of existence) and death (end of existence), that depends on the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements to be existing, is selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, including the selfless energy and elements that support and influence all and everything to be existing, changing, and ceased existing, are also selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional.
The annihilation of the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, or the subside of the selfless impermanent thoughts current, that is supported/limited/conditioned by the selfless energy and elements, and that is governed by cause and effect - Birthlessness/deathlessness/namelessness/formlessness/attributelessness/changelessness/timelessness/selflessness that is unlimited and unconditional - Unlimited and unconditioned by energy and elements or cause and effect.
All these are nothing to do with 'beliefs', 'spirituality', 'healing', 'super extraordinary', 'mystic', 'sacredness', or 'untouchable'.
Inquire the truth of everything.
