216 RAJA YOGASannyas<strong>in</strong>s to work on the politica! platform. They even forcethem. As their m<strong>in</strong>ds are saturated with Karma Samskaras,they are not able to grasp and understand the grandeur, utilityand magnanimity of pure Nivritti of Dhyana-yogis. The field oidoma<strong>in</strong> of activity of Sannyas<strong>in</strong>s is entirely different. They cannotbecome presidents of Sabhas or Mandalas. Their sphere isof a cosmic nature. Their field is Adhyatmic that retates to thescience of the Self. Let me repeat the words of Bhagavan SriKrishna:"Lokesm<strong>in</strong> dvividha nishtha pun prokta mayanagha,J n an ayoge n a sa m khyan am karm ayoge n a yog i n a m.""ln this world there is a twofold path, as I said before, Os<strong>in</strong>less one, that of <strong>Yoga</strong> by Knowledge, of the Sankhyas, andlhatof <strong>Yoga</strong> by action, of the Yogis" (Gita, lll-3).

Just as you have physical sense <strong>in</strong>the physical body, there are astral counterparts of theselndriyas <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>ner, subtle, astral body.
