People on the spiritual path often talk about the significance of experiencing oneness. The experience of oneness takes someone forward in one's development, making the disciple's journey easier. But with whom should Oneness be experienced? I could say with God, and then let see when it is not managed even with our partner, child or master. In the first circle, the most important thing would be to live through it with at least one person, because then we will have a lived experience what should a mutually experienced unity be like?

The first and still defining experience of unity in my life happened about 40 years ago, with my then boss. Neither of us were people on a spiritual path, which also shows that this is not the point.

My boss told me in a work meeting that he had a theory, but hadn't yet found a way to prove it. He explained the principle and the theoretical solution. A few days later I came up with a detailed practical implementation proposal. The experiment had several pitfalls. For one thing, there was one working day for the substantive part; this part could not be carried over to the next day. On the other hand, it was not advisable to make a mistake, because then the whole procedure had to be repeated from the very beginning, not just the substantive part. The most critical point was that it required two people who could work with both hands, and no more than two people could physically do the job, just as in a four-handed piano performance. I told him I could do it, and he answered he would be the second.

Then the work began. With one hundred percent concentration, we put the instruments to each other's hands and took them from each other's hands in complete union, without a single word, as in an operation. And then all the differences between us disappeared: the male-female, the 30 years, the differences in life experience, mentality and position, the fact that he was a professor and I was a young doctoral student. The focus on a common goal, the commitment to the solution, was undone the differences, we experienced ourselves as one.

The task was accomplished! It is now irrelevant that this resulted in a scientific publication in a top-ranked foreign journal, because nobody is interested in that after all these years. What remained of the whole is the essence of the unity itself. It was a temporary unit, for the time it took to complete the task, but for that time it gave an experience of completeness. Moreover, then I received all of his knowledge, although I was only able to perceive this later!

In fact, I wouldn't ask anything else of my students. They should put aside their nice little ego, at least temporarily, for the time of solving a common task, for the sake of a common goal, because then they would have a chance to experience something that was unknown until then. And then the miracle could happen! There would be no question, everything would become clear, there would be no reasoning, because what is inside us and what we want to transmit would transmit without it. If we do not form a unity, we will remain forever a scattered pebble!

If someone wants to get the knowledge, I represent in my yoga school or the ability to awaken and control kundalini, they don't have to go far, I'm still here! If one doesn't want to come to me as a student for many years, one saves time for me! Let experience the unity with me, and to the extent one experience it, he/she will be able to receive it. I have no secrets, there is no secret knowledge... lack of unity is the only obstacle.

Just nobody reproaches me over there if one's experience of oneness was not complete here!
