पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

only send our electricity through these nerve channels. Why
not send the mental electricity without this aid? The Yogi
says it is perfectly possible and practicable, and that when you
can do that you will work all over the universe. You will be
able to work with anybody anywhere, without the help of any
nervous system. When the soul is acting through these
channels we say a man is living and when those channels die
the man is said to be said. But when a man is able to act either
with or without these channels, birth and death will have no
meaning for him. All the bodies in the universe are made up
of Tanmatras, and it is only in the arrangement of them that
there comes a difference. If you are the arranger you can
arrange that body in one way or another. Who makes up this
body but you? Who eats the food? If another ate the food for
you, you would not live long. Who makes the blood out of
it? You, certainly. Who assimilates the blood, and sends it
through the veins? You. Who creates the nerves, and makes
all the muscles? You are the manufacturer, out of your own
substance. You are the manufacturer of the body, and you live
in it. Only we have lost the knowledge of how to make it. We
have become automatic, degenerate. We have forgotten the
process of manufacture. So, what we do automatically has
again to be regulated. We are the creators and we have to
regulate that creation, and as soon as we can do that we shall
be able to manufacture just as we like, and then we shall have
neither birth nor death, disease, or anything.
