Soul never gives up its detachment. On one hand detachment is with the selfish life and attaching with the cosmic self, which is your own true self. That is the reason why you will always feel so happy when you donate some money or help someone without any expectations. Thats when you touch your cosmic-self and again fall down, due to your karmas that you are ought to finish on the earth.
These karmas do not let you experience your true-self. They always keep you away from your true-self.
So due to karmas for which the main reason is the root cause of traits. Traits are like a stains that are deeply written in your system and in your consciousness those stains with their energies keep on surfacing the top layer. So you will always be provoked to do that, to do this and you never be restless even if you sit quietly. So you can never get peace even if you site quietly. Outwardly you may look calm but inside you are not calm. But inwardly, an external help can come to uplift your consciousness and give you peace. That external help is none other than the divine energy in the form of GURU, who can uplift your consciousness and give you peace.
In the path of Mathan Kundalini Kriya Yoga, you can invoke the guru, then the divine consciousness can come and do kriyas in you and then after sometime, you will experience peace and later slowly the energy logs out of your system. So from the beginning, you will know that you are not the doer which is one of the biggest achievements in yoga. So in meditation itself you will know that you are not the doer. The operator knows where to cleanse your system (chakras) and removes certain stains in your system which will loose their intensity at the end, when they manifest in real life.
Modern man, is totally caught up in so much of chaos that, he cannot sit and meditate and even if he meditates, the illusion of he being the doer will start arising as he advances. So that doing part of it given to “THE ACTUAL DOER” as said in Bhagawad Gita. Lord Krishna asks Arjuna to allow him to operate, just like his chariot. In the same way, the operation of your kundalini, mediation, cleansing your traits, cleansing your mind all would be done by “THE DIVINE”. In this path, he not only cleanses, but he also loads certain “art of yoga techniques” into your soul system which are useful in your lives. Say you have more problem with jealousy, an art of yoga technique would be loaded into your system, so that you will be aware of the “awakening of jealousy” in your system then you start controlling it. As you keep controlling it, the intensity of that trait will stop later.
