Seven wonders in the eye of the Yogi.
1st Wonder: The primordial source of all creation "Shiva" which is the vast unbounded non-dual oneness and in the unmanifest state of energy. Shiva does not have to be worshipped but he is the very breath of this creation. Modern science has been contemplating that everything comes from nothing and goes back to nothingness. Our culture talked about Shiva 20 to 30 thousand years back and Shiva means "That which is Not" (nothingness). Shiva in yogic culture means that which is NOT. Modern science says everything comes from nothing and goes back to nothing. This state of nothingness is what is referred to as Shiva. ‘Shi’ is the feminine Shakthi which is the very womb of the creation and ‘Va’ is the dampener to the vast ever expanding masculine form of un-manifest energies. Everything in the Yogic culture was described in form of a story. They created a personality around Shiva just to describe the existence as such. Shiva has three states, Rudra, Shiva and Sadashiva. Rudra is the dissolution state, Shiva the state of “I am” the first strand of sound from the unmanifest to manifest and Sadashiva is the state of his blissful meditativeness (unmanifest). Shiva is known as the Adi Yogi or the First Yogi (Guru). Shiva is also known as the Producer and predominatly as the Destroyer. (Shiva as the 1st Wonder).
2nd Wonder: When the unmanifest manifest in to creation (play of five elements), the duality is manifested in to Nature (Parakriti) and Life energies (Aparakriti). The Life energies are the maintenance operator. Whereever there is a creation, there is bound to be life energies. Only when the Life energies sustains in the physical form, life forms begin to evolve. The Life energies as per description in the Vedanta known as Vishnu (Vishnu - Life energies as the 2nd Wonder).
3rd Wonder: The unmanifest manifest itself there is creation - Brahma (play of five elements). Life is play of five energies. Vedanta mention of only one Brahmaan (unmanifest state - Shiva) and from this Brahmaan, Creation emerged which is the manifested form of energies. Brahma is Creation or Creator operator (Brahma - Creation as the 3rd Wonder).
4th Wonder: Being born as a human is the greatest gift and one should not waste the life time opportunity in experiencing this piece of life. Humans have both Animal and Divine nature. Only Humans have the capability of raising his life energies and going beyond the physical and experiencing the non-physical dimensions of life and experiencing creation as part of himself and being the Creator himself. Being a Human Being is the Fourth Wonder. (Human being as 4th Wonder).
5th Wonder: The Yoga is inner science and technology of attaining union and inner wellbeing. Yoga literal meaning is Union. Everything in the existence was one non-dual oneness. When the unmanifest manifested itself in to Creation, what was one has become two. Due to this game of duality there is life and the conscious being seeks union to become one. If you look at life, Life happens to everyone in Selflessness, in Devotion, with Intelligence and with transformation of energies. Similarly there are four disciplines in Yoga. Karma Yoga through Selfless action using Body, Bhakti Yoga through devotion, Gyana Yoga through intelligence and Kriya Yoga through transformation of energies. Yoga is all about aligning your body, mind, emotions and life energies with the non-dual divine. (Being in a State of Yoga as the 5th Wonder)
6th Wonder: The creator has done a great job and with his love has created this beautiful creation planet Earth where we are living. We Humans experience love in limitedness and our love is limited to the physical. We Humans live with the experience of only five senses. Our awareness has not grown beyond these five senses. Once we raise our energies to the peak and our ability to respond is in unboundedness we experience Love (Being in Love with everyone in acceptance as the 6th Wonder)
7th Wonder: Our experience of life is limited to only the physical. Look at the people around the world around. How many happy, cheerful and blissful people do you see beyond the 30 years age? What has gone wrong with them? If one is initiated in Yoga by a Guru and Guru's grace has touched upon them they become automatically blissful and they are in control of their own energies and external situation has no impact on their inner wellbeing. (Being Blissful as the 7th Wonder)
