Translation

Ning on ka neid, kes püüavad hingamise piiramise läbi viibida transis. Nad praktiseerivad väljahingamise ohverdamist sissehingamisele ning sissehingamise ohverdamist väljahingamisele ja saavutavad nõnda lõpuks transiseisundi, olles hingamise täielikult peatanud. Teised, seevastu, vähendavad söömist ja toovad ohvriks väljahingamise väljahingamisele.

Still others, who are inclined to the process of breath restraint to remain in trance, practice by offering the movement of the outgoing breath into the incoming, and the incoming breath into the outgoing, and thus at last remain in trance, stopping all breathing. Others, curtailing the eating process, offer the outgoing breath into itself as a sacrifice.

Purport

Hingamise üle kontrolli saavutamisele suunatud joogasüsteemi nimetatakse prāṇāyāmaks, mida alguses praktiseeritakse haṭha-jooga erinevate istumisasendite abil. Kõiki neid protsesse soovitatakse meelte kontrollile allutamiseks ja vaimses eneseteadvustamises edu saavutamiseks. See praktika hõlmab kehasiseste õhuvoolude kontrollimist, muutes nende liikumissuunad vastupidisteks. Apāna õhk liigub allapoole ning prāṇa õhk ülespoole. Prāṇāyāma-joogi praktiseerib vastupidist hingamist seni, kuni õhuvoolused neutraliseeruvad pūraka tasakaalu seisundis. Väljahingatud õhu ohverdamist sissehingatavale õhule nimetatakse recakaks. Kui mõlemad õhuvoolused on täielikult peatatud, jõuab inimene kumbhaka-joogani. Kumbhaka-jooga praktiseerimise läbi on võimalik pikendada oma elu kestust vaimses eneseteadvustamises täiuslikkuse saavutamiseks. Arukas joogi soovib jõuda täiuslikkuseni ühe eluga, ootamata järgmise poolt pakutavat võimalust. Kumbhaka-joogat praktiseerides pikendavad joogid oma elu kestust mitmete aastate võrra. Kṛṣṇa teadvuses olev inimene aga, teenides alati transtsendentaalses armastuses Jumalat, muutub automaatselt oma meelte kontrollijaks. Tema meeled, olles alati rakendatud Kṛṣṇa teenimisse, ei saagi teistsugusele tegevusele kalduda. Elu lõpus tõuseb ta seeläbi loomulikult Jumal Kṛṣṇa transtsendentaalsesse maailma ning seetõttu ei püüagi selline inimene oma elu pikendada. Nagu öeldud „Bhagavad- gītās" (14.26), tõuseb ta kohe vabanemise tasandile:

This system of yoga for controlling the breathing process is called prāṇāyāma, and in the beginning it is practiced in the haṭha-yoga system through different sitting postures. All of these processes are recommended for controlling the senses and for advancement in spiritual realization. This practice involves controlling the airs within the body so as to reverse the directions of their passage. The apāna air goes downward, and the prāṇa air goes up. The prāṇāyāma-yogī practices breathing the opposite way until the currents are neutralized into pūraka, equilibrium. Offering the exhaled breath into the inhaled breath is called recaka. When both air currents are completely stopped, one is said to be in kumbhaka-yoga. By practice of kumbhaka-yoga, one can increase the duration of life for perfection in spiritual realization. The intelligent yogī is interested in attaining perfection in one life, without waiting for the next. For by practicing kumbhaka-yoga, the yogīs increase the duration of life by many, many years. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person, however, being always situated in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, automatically becomes the controller of the senses. His senses, being always engaged in the service of Kṛṣṇa, have no chance of becoming otherwise engaged. So at the end of life, he is naturally transferred to the transcendental plane of Lord Kṛṣṇa; consequently he makes no attempt to increase his longevity. He is at once raised to the platform of liberation, as stated in Bhagavad-gītā (14.26):

māṁ ca yo ’vyabhicāreṇa
bhakti-yogena sevate
sa guṇān samatītyaitān
brahma-bhūyāya kalpate

„See, kes teenib kõrvalekaldumatult ja pühendunult Jumalat, tõuseb kõrgemale materiaalse looduse guṇadest ning jõuab otsekohe vaimsele tasandile." Olles jõudnud transtsendentaalsele tasandile, saab inimesest Kṛṣṇa teadvuses viibiv isik ning ta jääb igavesti sellesse teadvusesse. Seetõttu ta ka ei lange ning elu lõpus jõuab ta viivitamatult Jumala elupaika. Toitumine on automaatselt piiratud, kui inimene sööb ainult kṛṣṇa- prasādamit ehk esmalt Jumalale pakutud toitu. Toitumise piiramine on meelte kontrollimise suhtes väga kasulik. Meeli kontrollimata pole aga kuidagi võimalik materiaalseist köidikuist vabaks pääseda.

“One who engages in unalloyed devotional service to the Lord transcends the modes of material nature and is immediately elevated to the spiritual platform.” A Kṛṣṇa conscious person begins from the transcendental stage, and he is constantly in that consciousness. Therefore, there is no falling down, and ultimately he enters into the abode of the Lord without delay. The practice of reduced eating is automatically done when one eats only kṛṣṇa-prasādam, or food which is offered first to the Lord. Reducing the eating process is very helpful in the matter of sense control. And without sense control there is no possibility of getting out of the material entanglement.
