If a disciple is really surrendered, the Master can possess

him immediately.
And once you are possessed by the energy of the Master once his prana surrounds
you, enters in
you, much is done very easily which you cannot do in years. It will take years for you
because you
will be working, working... hard is the work, blocks are very, very rocky, you have
accumulated them
in many, many lives, and your energy is very tiny, just a trickling, a few drops of energy.
They are
lost again and again in the desert. They are lost again and again against the rock. But if
a Master
can enter in you like a waterfall, many things are simply washed away. And when the
Master has gone out of you, suddenly you start to be a totally different person – cleaner,
younger, vital... and all
energy passages open. Just knock a little and you move.
When a Master enters the body of a disciple, he leaves behind him for a few moments
such a great
opportunity that if the disciple wants to use it, he can attain – so easily, so simply that
there will be
almost no effort.
There are certain schools, those schools are called schools of siddhas, they don’t allow
their
disciples to work on any technique. The siddha guru simply tells them to sit by his side
and wait.
They believe in satsang, and it is a tremendously powerful method, but for it a great
devotion is
needed. A single doubt and it cannot happen, a little resistance and it cannot happen.
One has to
be completely open. One has to be completely a moon, only then can the Master
possess you.`

”Loosening the cause of bondage and knowing the channels allows the mind to enter
another’s
body.” Two things are needed. First, loosening of the bondage; and another, the
awareness, the
knowledge of the channels from where to leave the body and how to reenter it – how to
enter
another’s body. Because if you don’t know from where to leave your body, you may not
be able to
reenter again. So just loosening of the bondage won’t help; you will have to be very,
very aware of
the inside world of your body.
Ordinarily we know only the outside, just the skin part. That’s why people go on
powdering,
deodorizing their skin. Hmm?... that’s their whole body. They don’t know what great
mechanism is
hidden inside. You are not aware. Just the skin part, just the surface, which is nothing
but the outer
shell. As if you go to see the Taj Mahal and you just go round and round and see the
outer walls and
come back. You look into the mirror, the mirror simply reflects your skin, the outer shell,
and you get
identified with it.
You think, ”I am this man.” You are not. You are very, very great – but you never
look from the within.
Get disidentified with the body, then close your eyes and try to feel the body from within.
Try to
touch the body from within, how it feels from within. Get centered and from there look
around –
and mysteries upon mysteries open their secrets to you. That’s how yogis came to know
about the
channels, the centers, the nadhis, the energy fields, the working of the energy fields –
from where
you can get out of the body and how you can reenter and how you can enter into
another’s body.
A great knowledge, the whole topography of the inner body is needed. One has to know
it; otherwise
you will miss it. Many times it has happened.
That’s why Patanjali simply gives the sutra and does not go in detail because if the
detail is described
there are foolish people who will try. No detail is given. You cannot do anything just
reading this
sutra. In fact all the practical details have not been opened to you. Patanjali keeps them
secret. They
are only for those who are working with a Master. They cannot be said publicly,
because curious
people are there and they will try, and sometimes they can get out of the body but then
they will not
be able to get in. Sometimes they can get into another’s body and may not be able to
get out. Then
they will create trouble for themselves and for others.
So details are not being given; details have always been handed over in personal
intimacy. These
sutras simply give you the framework.`
