To breath is to be alive. But most of the time it goes unawares. Pranayama brings our attention and awareness to it. To become aware of the breath is to become nourished. To become aware of the breath is to become renewed. To become aware of the breath is to become still. Although he was an accomplished Yogi, Tavayogi continued to carry out Pranayama. We could hear from across the lawn as we stayed in the metal cabin, the loud bellows he dealt as he did this practice behind closed doors in his room.
Yoga is a set of practices that brings us to become aware of our breath and to use it as a tool to attain higher and subtle states. Swami Vivekananda in his book "Raja Yoga" list it beautifully.
"By Pranayama impurities of the body are thrown out; by Dharana the impurities of the mind; by Pratyahara impurities of attachment, and by Samadhi is taken off everything that hides the lordship of the Soul."
Vivekananda writes, "For the mind that has realized omnipresence there is no succession (of thoughts). Everything has become present for it. To it the present only exists. The past and future are lost. Time stands controlled. All knowledge is there in one second. Everything is known like a flash."
Neale Donald Walsch writes in his book "The Wisdom of the Universe", that "the present happens then turns into a burst of light formed by energy dispersing and the light reaches your receptors your eyes and it takes time for it to do that." During this time God says, "..that light is reaching you, life is going on, moving forward. The next event is happening while the light from the last event is reaching you."
It is all delayed transmission that we are receiving. By the time it arrives it has become a past event. By the time the brain interprets the scene it is not what is taking place. It has become a thing of the past.
Science says that "When we use powerful telescopes to look at distant objects in space, we are actually looking back in time." (Source: https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/) As "the Sun's light takes about 8.3 minutes to reach us. This means that we always see the Sun as it was about 8.3 minutes ago. The next closest star to us is about 4.3 light-years away. So, when we see this star today, we’re actually seeing it as it was 4.3 years ago. The farther an object is, the farther in the past we see it."
God tells Neale the same too. "Place yourself a few light years back and what you are looking at happened very, very long ago indeed."
This is how the Siddhas could make the predictions I suppose. They could connect with the real "present moment" and not the delayed "present moment." Hence God says that nothing we see is real. The real is the "now that simply is". What is true is only the present. We now understand Bhagawan Ramana and the saints immersed in the present forever.
