"My dear fellow Children of Light, be aware that a person's sufferings touch him or her mostly through his or her imaginative faculty. A person who imagines things that are untrue will certainly suffer. S/he will think that other people hate him/her when don't; s/he may, due to low self-esteem, deny his/her competence, and imagine that his/her life is subject to the whims of those around him or her. When a person's delusions are deeply entrenched, it is difficult for him to root them out. They are so much a part of his reality, that he doesn't question them. S/he just allows them to poison his life, never realizing that his or her suffering is due to a handful of delusions..."

Laya Yoga is an ancient form of meditation, with concentration on energy centers or chakras (Cakras). Sage Gorakshnatha, an ancient sage of Nepal, and a disciple of Matsyendranath is the modern founder of Laya yoga tantrika. There are five main energy centers in the spine and two in the head. Laya yoga attempts to locate these energy centers and channelize them through meditation. Laya essentially means to dissolve all karmic patterns or conditioning and merge into the transcendental reality. It also means deep concentration and making an effort to obliterate the ego, thereby rising to a higher state of consciousness, called Turiya.
