In creation, God/Siva creates levels of Consciousness in building blocks which in Saivism they call Tattvas. In Saivism 36 Tattvas are recognized the first 5 are pure and in very close proximity to Atma/Siva/God, the next 7 are Pure-Impure and the last 24 are just Impure. Man is an entire Universe unto himself ( as above so is below,as below so is above),a micro-cosmos so he has all these Tattvas within himself. This micro-cosmos became complete when man descended from Siva Loka (the heavenly planets, abode of the Gods) to have a physical body in the middle earthly realm (Bhuloka).
These also corresponds to levels of Consciousness ,the Chakras. We can even say the mind has 3 main levels ,which also correspond to the Tattvas and the Chakras. These are the Superconscious God mind which is pure,the intellectual mind which is pure-impure and instinctive animal mind which is Impure. They are 7 "hellish" or asuric chakras below the Muladhara ,the base chakra at the bottom of spine. In the legs from the hips to the sore of the feet. At the sore of the feet that's where you have pure psychopaths who just kill for the sake of killing and so on . With no sense of right or wrong. They even revel in this. When the Kundalini went from being the "flying peacock" to sleeping in the base chakra , particularly in this Kali Yuga , humanity descended into these asuric chakras. This is where you have fear, jealousy, excessive lust,anger,greed and so on. They are animalistic chakras, instinctive mind. People are at different levels of unfoldment , being in the hellish Chakras is obviously unpleasant,so when one has had enough lifetimes in this states of Consciousness,they will naturally seek the Atma within themselves. This is the Yoga. To have the conscious experience that "YOU ARE BRAHMAN/GOD" in the highest , complete sense beyond your individualness , your ego,in totality within you. ParaSiva or the Void and so on. That's why we are on Earth,that's why you have the physical body. To have this conscious experience,after that you can never fall from God Consciousness,you are liberated. Most people because of strongly identifying with the physical body , subjugate themselves to the instinctive mind. Obviously a well trained intellect can subjugate the instinctive mind but from time to time can still be subjugate to the instincts. The best is to be in the Superconscious All Knowing God mind. The Udjat. Everyone has this , because that's the foundation of all existence. This Superconscious Mind was strongly emphasised in Kemet,it's all over the place. The Hindus emphasis this with the Bindu dot on the forehead. To remind them that they are Atma. Because of the physical veil ,veiling Brahman in yourself and in all things as a result of Kundalini going asleep,it's very important to remind yourself that you are Atma. You are not your emotions,these constantly change,you are not always angry for example,your are not your thoughts ( intellectual mind) and you are not even your personality,the personality changes arccording to the karmic seeds that are manifesting ,the Natal Chart,Prarabdha Karma. In your next life ,you will have a different name , personality. You are the unchanging,eternal Atma. The "physical I" is the root of all problems on Earth. It keeps people externalised,therefore away from experiencing the Yoga. What you want is to realise the Self(ParaSiva) in this life or plant the seeds of karma that will give the personality in a future lifetime enabling you to realize the Self. Some personalities are obviously more suited to this than others. So to have a better personality that will enable Self realisation in future life , identify yourself with Brahman/Udjat, don't just limit yourself to your race and personality. Which are important,but if are to do the Yoga , identification with Udjat/Brahman is Paramount and was strongly emphasised in Kemet (Ancient Egypt).
So most people whatever the race are operating in the asuric chakras below the spine, there's no race that's immune from this. The Greeks spoke highly of the Blacks they found in Africa at the time. Who where even longer lived than anywhere else. These where obviously Dharma aware Blacks, Ma'at as it was called in Africa. It's not following Ma'at that's why the Black race is in its current state. Siva treats everyone the same, it's your compliance to Dharma that matters. You see everyone is actually All Knowing the problem is that this has not been Realised. You see in nature just because the Sun shines on you first doesn't mean you own it. It will also shine on others. Just because it shines first in the East doesn't mean people in East own the Sun,it will also shine in West.
Whites where the first to usher in the Technological age doesn't mean it won't shine on others. Man on his own individual little self ,is not the Source of anything, it's Atma.
A certain Yogaswami from Sri Lanka once said "you think you are the doer so you fall into the trap of bondage but everything was accomplished a long time ago."
Everyone is Atma,which is already accomplished what's missing is realising this Nature within ourselves.
In the same light , Yogaswami would also say "man is mad , what is there to study."
Now obviously if you are not yet Self Realised you should study but also work on Self Realisation.
Everything is Atma,a termite knows how to build an ant hill,a bird how to build a nest they never went to school. A fish knows how to be fish,a lion knows how to be lion. A mango tree
always produces mangoes ,never oranges. Who is in all these things,Atma.
See God in everything ,it will give humility ,you can't condescend like that.
The ALL is in all.
