Rawat and other pretend mystics love this business about the breath being the most important thing. It's as though observing the breath was their deepest dive into biochemistry. As if they've never understood the importance of blood sugar levels, or blood pressure, or hydration and a million transactions happpening all the time in our bodies. A beating heart is pretty important too.
To suggest breath is the difference between life and death is simplistic nonsense. My brother had open heart surgery, and oxygen was supplied to his body via a constant exchange of blood. He didn't breathe for several hours. (He's alive and well now after a replacement valve was fitted).
It's the same romantic mystic tosh that described a swan having filters in its mouth to filter out the 'impurities' so that it could drink pure water (The filters are like whale baleen, and they filter out the food from the water, so it's the opposite of what the mahatmas used to say). And flames rising upwards to try to reunite with their true home, the sun (even at night when the sun is below the fire!).
Grow out of this nonsense Mr Thinking. It really is just stupid! Open a book on physics or biochemistry and start to appreciate the inricate and amazing things that really are keeping you alive.
