By the practice of Kriya Yoga, inner and outer purification naturally occurs. Whoever is God-conscious is always pure. God is abiding in every human being. If we search for Him within our whole system, our mind cannot be attracted to external pomp and grandeur.
There are three channels inside the spinal cord, named in the Sanskrit Shastras as ida, pingala, and sushumna. By the practice of this precious technique, ida and pingala separate themselves from sushumna and the passage in sushumna is clearly opened. This is said to be the awakening of the kundalini shakti. This spinal channel is the royal road through which the indwelling Self, God, is constantly functioning in the human being, going up and coming down the spine and giving various dispositions and inspirations. We can say that our soul is hidden in the jungle of matter and with the Kriya Yoga technique we can free the soul from bondage. We can then cultivate the fallow land in the sushumna by Kriya breathing and continually live in cosmic consciousness The regular practice of this technique will automatically take us to the third circuit in the brain wherein lies the pituitary, which is the real abode of God
