Our jivatma should be always happy
The tilak is a mark of wisdom and an inner guide on the divine journey. All paths ultimately lead to the same divine consciousness, which resides within every heart. Making distinctions in religion or culture creates duality, while divine consciousness requires seeing equally. The tilak activates the Agnya Chakra and signifies light, fortune, and welcome. Its application, often with sandalwood, calms the mind and ensures a successful journey. The body itself is a temple for spiritual experience. Speech originates as a vibration from the navel, is filtered by the heart's love, and must be measured before release through the throat. Harsh words are arrows that cannot be recalled and create heaviness in others. The Ajna Chakra holds the seed of discernment for using speech wisely. Heaven and hell exist within this body; if one cannot find happiness here, it cannot be found elsewhere. True wisdom balances truth and falsehood into positivity, nourishing the soul.
"Before you bring this sound to the vocal cord, you measure your words in your heart, how heavy they are."
"jñāna is that which balances both and turns it into the positive."
