"Soon he arrived at the Heatless Smokeless Effulgent of the Self and realized the Divine Truth, the Cosmic Consciousness, the Ultimate Supreme Reality, Sat Chit Anandam, the Nirvana." Love and God MMY
This is relevant because most schools of Yoga refer to the opening of the seventh chakra as Cosmic Consciousness, (the highest Nirvikalpa Samadhi) so this is consistent with them. However, later on, MMY changed the definition to CC, GC, and then UC, and turned everything on its head! MMY should have remained faithful to the then established standard of CC being the highest human attainment. Under MMY's system Self Realization, which actually occurs with the opening of the 6th Ajna chakra (not the highest), is already called Cosmic Consciousness! which doesn't actually occur in classical Yoga until the opening of the 7th which MMY now calls Unity!; just more confusion that's all! P.S. No wonder his Gita is confusing vis-a-vis the higher states of consciousness, where he 'takes liberty' with the established patterns.
