Good evening. It is very nice to see you all again in this pleasant, cool weather. This is nothing for you, is it? I hear in Warsaw the winter can reach minus 25 degrees. So this is just mild. This evening, we are discussing the chakras. We spoke a great deal this morning about cosmic energy, and the chakras are precisely those energy centers. They receive energy from the universe. They act as transformers and stabilizers, transferring universal energy into the body. Simultaneously, they control how much and what kind of energy each organ, muscle, part of the body, or brain center needs. All of this is governed by the eight chakras. Within them lies our dormant destiny—the good and bad luck from all our past life karmas. When a chakra awakens, everything can turn upside down. Sometimes it is not easy for a person to master this awakening, as many visions and feelings arise; it is like a filtering process. All hidden karmas and memories will surface. This is what we call the Mūlādhāra Chakra. The book Hidden Powers in Humans is available in English, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, German, French, Spanish, and Hindi. Unfortunately, not in Polish. Some of you should take a saṅkalpa, a vow, to translate it and find a publishing house. In the languages I mentioned, this book, along with Yoga and L.I. and L.I. Amrit, are like bestsellers. When the chakras are fully awakened, you become a person of enlightenment. All your past karmas are deleted; you have no more karma. Good merges into goodness and bad into badness, but you are still alive. As long as the body exists, it produces karma through thinking, eating, sleeping, and working. Sometimes good and sometimes bad can happen. However, these karmas are all protected by the divine energy aura. The person who thinks badly about you receives all the negative karma. So it is good if someone thinks badly about you; you can say thank you, for they take your karmas. Whoever thinks well of you takes your good qualities. Negative karma and qualities are limited, but good qualities are the quality of God, which is endless. This is the energy body. The chakras are powerful, ranging up to the Maṇipūra. There are also other sub-chakras, all connected and awakening. This energy is called prāṇa. It enters through the nostrils. Prāṇa is not oxygen; it is cosmic energy—you may say it is life itself. When someone dies, the prāṇa disappears. Prāṇa is the radiance of the soul. It is the connection between the cosmic mother and the individual child. We are the children of the mother, and she nourishes us through her energy, prāṇa. This prāṇa has ten different qualities: five main prāṇas and five sub-prāṇas. The sub-prāṇa is a very fine quality. There is a special prāṇa only for our heart, another for the nervous system, another for our eyes, and so on. In this book, you will find a beautiful chart of all these energies and prāṇas. When you study it, you will understand: What is kuṇḍalinī? What is my human life? What are all these wonderful functions in my body? The five main prāṇas are: Prāṇa, Apāna, Samāna, Udāna, and Vyāna. The sub-prāṇas are Karkala, Radhanjaya, Kurma, and so on. When you inhale, that receiving force is very pure; that is Prāṇa. But there must also be an exhaling force, which rejects all dead cells and dead energy from the body, and facilitates passing urine and stool. Without Apāna Prāṇa, this is impossible. The Apāna Prāṇa resides in the lower part of the body, from the abdomen through the intestines. Here in the Maṇipūra Chakra, you see Prāṇa entering through the nose, coming down like a chain, circling, and entering the chakra. Here, Lakṣmī resides. Lakṣmī means good things: happiness, wealth, good health. Viṣṇu is fire energy. That fire can only be controlled and can exist in water. Water is cold, yet there is more fire inside it. When you put your hand in cold water, after a while you feel a burning sensation. The mythological picture shows that from the navel of Viṣṇu emerges a lotus. It opens above the water, and upon it sits the creator, the Holy Father, Brahmā. Brahmā has four hands, each holding one Veda: Sāma Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda, and Ṛg Veda. Thus, Brahmā is known as the creator throughout the yugas—Kali Yuga, Satya Yuga, and so on. Brahmā was not born from Viṣṇu's navel; Viṣṇu gave him a position, an āsana, upon the lotus. Returning to this picture: here is the seat of Viṣṇu—fire. When fire burns everything, it turns into ash, and that ash is holy. That is Lakṣmī, fortune. The ash is placed on the forehead; this is our fortune. In Christianity, there is also a day you celebrate called Ash Wednesday, where you receive a tilak. But it should not be only one day; every day this is your fortune, your good luck. It is said that to see a face without a tilak brings bad luck. The women here also have this beautiful tilak, the bindi. They also have red color here, which is a sign of sobhāgya—a married woman. In Western culture, you have a ring. In India, they see this red color and know the woman is married. Sobhāgya means the lucky, the happiest, the faithful one. Now we go further. The soul enters this planet through light, water, and air; space is there. The soul is already in a drop of water, in vegetation, in seeds, in grains. Within that is also a seed, and that is a soul. When it enters into living beings and a female conceives, it is within water. First, a volume of water is created. You know the embryo is all the time in that water, and inside it a body manifests—whether human or animal. That embryo first develops like a sprout from a seed, connected to the navel of that being and to the mother's body. That embryo is a lotus; we imagine this mythological picture. That ocean is that water, and that fire is the soul. Where does it come from? It is Viṣṇu. Viṣṇu provides the place for the embryos, and then Brahmā comes. Brahmā means intellect—the intellect which becomes creative. And the light which comes into the soul as life is called Śiva—Śiva Jyoti. So here, at this junction, is where the soul resides. This is the seed of sound. We know that everything begins with sound. That nāda, that sound, is everywhere. Even a small petal of a flower has immense resonance. When I touch this petal just to feel it, it has a positive sound—love. But if I want to pluck one, it is screaming—a negative, painful vibration is there. So not only animals, but plants also feel fear. Long ago, around 1979 or 1980, they demonstrated an instrument. When you were about to cut potatoes—even before beginning, just upon seeing the knife—the potato was screaming, "Don't kill me!" The machine could sense that sound vibration. When they brought a knife to a plant, it screamed. The next day in the market, nobody bought potatoes. Everyone who saw the television was scared to buy them and put them in their kitchen. So sound vibration resonance exists even in so-called dead matter. In every atom, there is light, there is sound, and that is energy—consciousness. But in the human body, it is more pronounced and strong. From here, then, comes Brahmā—that is the head. You may have heard that in India they have a caste system. But the system was not divided as people think now. The concept of untouchability was brought to India when the English came. It was not like that originally. A Brāhmaṇa means coming from Brahmā—intellect. It has nothing to do with a human body per se. Intellect resides here, in the part above the neck, where the five jñānendriyas (senses of knowledge) are: ears, eyes, nose, taste, and the fifth is the skin (touch) which envelops the whole body. Anything touching your skin anywhere immediately sends information to the intellect (Brahman). This is Brahmā; this is Brāhmaṇa. Then come the warriors, the protectors. These are the arms—the strength, the hands of giving and helping. These are the Kṣatriyas. Then comes the trunk of the body. This is the farmer, the distributor—the Vaiśya. Whatever you eat and drink goes into the stomach, and the digestive system knows which energy to distribute where and in what form. In the trunk are thousands of systems, including the most important organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver. The legs are known as Śūdra. They carry you all the time, walking everywhere—even in darkness or dirty places. Your legs will not refuse; they will go as you think. But you will protect your legs. These are the four castes explained in Hinduism or Vedic culture: the body divided into four parts—Brāhmaṇa, Kṣatriya, Vaiśya, and Śūdra. In reality, all are you; there is no second person. Afterwards, people were divided and conflict was created—what we call racism, high caste and lower caste, royal family and non-royal family. Actually, the so-called royal families of that time were like criminal mafias; they held power over those who didn't follow them and killed them, declaring themselves kings. Therefore, in Hinduism, it is said there is no king but God. We are all human, all brothers and sisters. If there is a king, they should be the servant of the people, looking after them and giving everything to them, like a father and mother to their children. But instead, kings took everything from the poor farmers, leaving them with barely enough to eat. Thanks to God, democracy came, but now democracy is also abused. It is not democracy anymore; it is "demon crazy." What can we do? Here you see the elephant. It is beautiful. I have never seen an elephant with two trunks; have you? But in our mythology, the elephant has two trunks. It is a symbol of luck, strength, and protection. Therefore, the seat of God Gaṇeśa is in the Mūlādhāra. He maintains everything. The seven trunks represent the seven dhātus, the seven minerals essential for our health, thus maintaining our well-being. The elephant was born in an extraordinary way. In the Satya Yuga, when the ocean was churned, fourteen jewels emerged. One of these was a white elephant, a rabbit, with seven trunks. It is a symbol of good health, strength, balance, and progress. The red color is the color of the earth and blood. The four petals represent the four pillars of our life that humans must realize: Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa. To be successful in human life, you must realize these four things. Dharma is obligation, duty. What is the principle or dharma of a human? The dharma of the eyes is to see; of the ears, to hear; of fire, to give heat; of a father, mother, husband, wife, children, neighbors. Protect your dharma. If you cannot, you create bad karma and then have problems. Humans are born as protectors, not destroyers. Artha means wealth. There are two kinds: wisdom and material wealth. Without material wealth, you would live like the Neanderthals in caves. Now we are civilized. You have a guest; you must offer them water, which requires a glass. A glass does not fall from the sky; you must buy it. You may offer tea, food, a place to sleep. Every step today needs money. You cannot even breathe in and out without money, and even to die is very expensive—so don't die. This is wealth. If people say, "Oh, we don't need material life," then ask them: Are you dressed? If you need nothing, throw away your clothes, your mobile phone. Do not go home; sit on the bank of the Wisła. Therefore, renunciation means to renounce your bad habits and bad thoughts—to renounce bad qualities. Kāma—do good things, give birth to a good child, raise the child well. Mokṣa—liberation. These are the four solid pillars of human life; without them, you cannot be finished. Dharma also means mercy, compassion, love for every creature—viśva prāṇī merī. Ātmā, the Self, is Viśva. Viśva means the universe, complete. All creatures, all beings in the universe are myself. Ātmā is Paramātmā, the supreme one. So when I see all as myself, how can I kill them? How can I cause them pain? That is it. Śaṅkarācārya said the first step of self-realization is to see yourself in all. Then comes that mercy: Dharma, Artha, Kāma, Mokṣa. I wish you all a very good night and divine blessings. Tomorrow we will meet again in the morning as usual, and in the evening there will be satsaṅg with Mantra Purī. Those who know her, know her; those who don't will come to know her. So, see you tomorrow. All the best. I wish you much love and divine blessings. Good night. Adio.
