You cannot see it in the body. Try CT, MRI PET scan. Nothing will show it
So is it real or just an imagination?
If an imagination then the yogi should get the award of masterminding a great con job !
But it is true. However NOT in the way we think. Of course if you follow Buddhism, or Hinduism and read about a chakra they talk about the alphabet, mantras, a lotus, a wheel, earth air water etcetra – and if you have an imaginative mind you a draw a lotus , draw letters , imagine a god with five faces in that area and …. and look STUPID to any living being with half a brain
So what is the real truth – was the description inaccurate or were we too dim witted to understand the brilliance of the Yogi?
Truth be told between what the yoga books said and what we understood there is a huge gulf / chasm. What they wrote is to be experienced. Once you experience it , I am sure we would laugh and say wow ! This is what was meant and I am such a moron :)
Yogananda said in Gita it takes years and years of practice under the guidance of an experienced teacher to obtain that realization!
Hope this solves all your dilemma and dissolves the ego / vanity of progress. Also it should expose fraudulent guru
