Life Experience
Problem
Unfortunately , If a human being neglects the regulative principles of civilized life that prohibit sex, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling, he will surely be overwhelmed by the waves of lust and anger, which completely covers one's consciousness of the reality of Spiritual life and draw one to engage in the phantasmagoria of the temporary material body.
Solution
There is no supernatural, says the yogi, but there are in nature gross manifestations and subtle manifestations. The subtle are the causes, the gross the effects. The gross can be easily perceived by the senses; not so the subtle. The practice of Raja Yoga will lead to the acquisition of the more subtle perceptions.
