Every creature has certain tendencies. They have the same feelings as we have. They experience hunger and thirst. They long for comfort, freedom, and to be with their family. They feel the same pain and the same fear as we do. They need love, just as we do, because the light of God is inside every being. Who are we to say humans are the best? Who are we to claim we are the higher creature? Who are we to say we can do with animals as we like? No. Treat all equally. Love each and every entity as much as you love yourself. Animals have to go through their destiny; they have no choice. The only choice is that humans support them to make their lives easy and comfortable. Animals love their children very much. When an elephant is with its little baby, do not try to go near. This is true for all creatures. We humans also have certain qualities. Let us ask: what is the mind? We have ten senses: five senses of knowledge and five senses of action, through which we can perceive and act. The senses of knowledge are five. All the knowledge we have gained from birth until now—in social life, family life, school, or university—we have learned only through these five senses. There are only five keys. We see with our eyes; you know how precious they are. Whatever we see, we gain knowledge. We learn color and form. If we are blind, we cannot understand what is red or yellow. Just as a rusty object appears to someone, so the world appears to you. If you see positively, everything will be positive for you. Our eyes are very important. In our eyes should be kindness, humbleness, love, respect, and spirituality. Second are our ears, for sound. Whatever we learn, we learn through sound. If you cannot hear anything, you cannot speak. How important is this? Third is smell, for good or bad odors. Fourth is taste through the tongue: salty, bitter, sour. The fifth is our skin, across the whole body. It informs us when someone is touching you. A little ant walks on your toes, and the skin will say, "There is some little creature." These are the five senses of knowledge. Then, the five senses through which we can do something. First, our words. Primero, nuestras palabras. We can say, "Please come here." Our words can be like nectar or like poison. Every word should come from the heart, and we must measure it. How heavy is this word you tell someone? Therefore, our Master said your words should be like a beautiful flower coming out of the mouth, or Amṛt Maṇī, the immortal words. Second, our hands. We can do whatever with our hands; we can help, we can pray. This is also a sense. Third are the legs. Wherever we want to go, our legs will lead us. The fourth and fifth are the genitals, and the anus for urine and stool. These are the five senses of action. The other five senses of knowledge allow us to learn something, and we can give something through our words. These are the ten senses. Symbolically, these ten senses are like ten horses leading the coach of our body. Our horses should be trained; they should not be wild. You have to have them in your hands. Clear? Now, the mind. The mind is the eleventh sense. The mind is the boss of all these ten; the mind is governing. The mind is not bad. The mind is not guilty. The mind is like the film in a camera. Every movement is being filmed, and it is very neutral. Whatever is in front of the camera, the camera will take that photo. The camera will not tell you, "Oh, you should brush your hair." It is very, very neutral. Now, coming to consciousness: unconscious, subconscious, conscious, higher conscious, supra-conscious, and then superconscious, the God-conscious. Generally, we dwell in three consciousnesses, described in different ways: sleep, dream, and awakened. In 24 hours, our consciousness, our intellect, is watching these three levels. Unconsciousness is a dormant energy within us. Subconsciousness begins when, for the first time, the sun is descending on this earth. Does it matter if it is human or animal? It does not matter; it is all. So, where does the beginning journey from the astral world start? When does the astral world begin your destiny? Otherwise, the individual soul is fluttering on the waves of time in the endless universe, sometimes through darkness, sometimes through light, sometimes very pleasant, sometimes miserable, alone. There is no one to say hello to us. It is our luck that we come into this mortal world. All that we experience in the endless universe is recorded in our consciousness. That is the unconscious level. But when you come into contact with the elements, that becomes your subconscious. And when you come into the mother's body, that minute, that second, is very important. That is your birth. What was the situation? Were the mother and father happy? Angry? Fighting? Full of alcohol or drugs? With which feelings? That affects the child. For humans, the step is nine months in the mother's body. What was the situation with the mother? Was she happy? Did her husband support her? Did your parents support you? Did you have to work very hard? Did you have proper nourishment? Did you pray? Did you create a spiritual atmosphere in your mind? Did you speak with your child? Every mother does. Yes. All of this, everything, is recorded in the embryo's brain. No mother wants to take a child out. What do you call that when you don't want a child? Abortion. Mother knows what pain she has, not only physical but also in the heart. The mother knows that she is killing her child. Others do not. That is why the mother is the first god. A mother's pain, rare people understand. Their child, the mother nourished from her own blood. So these nine months should be happy, joyful. The father of the child should support the mother very much. Y el padre de este niño debería apoyar a la madre mucho. Walk in fresh air. Pray, meditate. Of course, you work also. These nine months are all coming into the subconsciousness of the child. Estos nueve meses, todo llega a la subconsciencia de este niño. And how was the birth? The child feels the mother's pain. The mother feels the child's pain. And we are born. Our subconsciousness is feeding all the time. Then it becomes conscious. Whatever you see, smell, touch, etc., the present situation is consciousness. Now: unconscious, subconscious, conscious. Inconciencia, subconciencia y conciencia. Our intellect is that camera, recording all situations. But what will happen? The reel is rolling. The reel. So all the time, it is ready to take new information. The intellect is collecting the information. And there is one tendency, one power, one function between the three levels of consciousness—consciencia, inconsciencia, subconsciencia, y consciencia—and that is the mind. The mind takes the information from the intellect and brings it to store in the subconscious. It also brings hidden news from the subconscious back to the conscious. So the mind is that tendency which is working between the subconscious and the conscious. The mind has no time; every second, it is going very quickly. Now, consider subconscious and unconscious. One couple, una pareja, went walking in the market, window shopping. There was a beautiful, nice ice cream shop. Nice ice cream. Helados. The husband said to his wife, "Dear, can I invite you for ice cream?" She said, "Good idea. Thank you. Muchas gracias. But..." What means "but"? "You know, my dear, you have throat troubles. The doctor said you should not eat anything cold and don't drink anything cold for one or two months. So ice cream wouldn't be good for you. When you are healthy, then we will go to eat ice cream." Men have no power against the wife. The wife is the home minister, and the foreign minister for outside matters, and the finance minister, el ministro de finanzas. She keeps safety and always looks after him. Whenever he goes somewhere, she gives him pocket money. That is why the best husband comes and gets the salary at the end of the month, comes home, and gives all the money to the wife. He never asks again what she has done with the money or where the money is. The wife will take the money, and she will never let him go alone or with a bad dress or anything. She will take care of him very well. Siempre lo va a cuidar muy bien. But now it's different. If a man keeps the money, si el esposo va a mantenerse su dinero, then the money will go very soon, en una tienda de alcohol. Yes. It is the wife's mistake, error de la esposa, that she gave him so much money that he went to drink. Always guilty are women. Well, the husband had no power. He said, "Okay, dear." They went home, but he was thinking about eating ice cream because these thoughts were in the subconscious. After two or three weeks, he had a dream that he was healthy. His wife was asking him, "Let's go and have ice cream." He was so happy, but in the dream. He is dreaming, so they come to the ice cream shop, the restaurant. They were sitting, and ice cream was served—nice balls. That man took the spoon and takes the ice cream. The spoon comes near the lips, about five centimeters away, and the alarm rings. He wakes up. So what happens when desires cannot be fulfilled? They go to the subconscious, and even in the subconscious, they cannot be fulfilled. Sometimes we repeat them in thinking and in dreams. Slowly, slowly, these desires are pulled down. Your file of desires goes down. Now you forget. You forget the form and color, but you still have the desire. You don't know what it is. That troubles you. What kind of desire was it, and for which organ of the body? There, it will attack and create some kind of disease or mental illness. You go to the doctor and say, "Doctor, I don't know what's happening, I have a problem. I have pain here." The doctor makes all tests, all kinds of tests. Everything is okay, but he has pain. So the doctor says it is psychic. This is one of the best excuses for the doctors. Thanks to God, doctors got the help of this word called psychology. The father of psychology was Maharṣi Patañjali, who wrote a beautiful yoga book. He wrote an excellent book on yoga, called the Patañjali Yoga Sūtra, and he lived a few centuries before Christ. Well, that desire went as a disease, and when it is not fulfilled, it goes to the unconsciousness. So the mind is that function between the unconscious level and consciousness. And this is happening with everything in our life. The science of kuṇḍalinī is to purify and clean our consciousness, and in the future, clear all the obstacles—on the astral level, not the physical. That is very important. It protects so that new disease, new negative energy, does not come in. Poquito adelante para aclarar el camino and leave all darkness behind. So that is the mantra. It is like a torchlight to walk through a dark forest, and it is a protection against attack from any creatures. When we chant a mantra, when we repeat a mantra, we enlighten our own phenomenon. And when we have a negative thought, we are polluting and darkening our phenomenon. All our good and bad things we carry on our back, like a packed bag. We fly to the astral world with all our karmas, good and bad, and let us see what will happen again. So meditation, kriyā, certain exercises, yoga, breath—this can lead us. It is like you come to some country, and you have a helicopter. You land it in a wild area and get out. Then you see, a few hundred meters away, a group of tigers running to attack you. You jump in the helicopter. They were only 20 meters away. They remain looking at you, and the tigers only observe. Safety. You are saved. Your helicopter took you off. So, the mantra is that which uplifts our consciousness. It does not let us fall into dangers. But it has to be practiced. Follow the rules; otherwise, your helicopter will remain empty, and the tiger will not jump inside. That's it. A mantra is like a light. This room can be very dark. If we say to darkness, "Please, darkness, be so kind, please go away," the darkness will not move. But as soon as we put on a light, within no time, darkness disappears. So when the Master meets you, we get blessings and mantras. The darkness of past bad karmas, the darkness of previous karmas, disappears. Take care that you do not create new karmas. Therefore, practice and follow the rules. So now, the Mūlādhāra Cakra. It is at the bottom, and tomorrow before noon we will talk about this: the position of the Mūlādhāra Cakra in the body, its color, tattva, element, mantra, sub-mantra, the lotus with four petals, its animal, divinity, symbol, qualities, and aspect. Prāṇa, which we spoke of; the plants to which we are belonging; the principles of the cakra; the precious stone; the metal; etc., etc. All these belong to this one cakra called Mūlādhāra. And we have to work this out. Otherwise, we cannot come to God Consciousness. Human life is beautiful, and this is the last milestone, but it is also not easy. It is a challenge, but nothing is impossible if you want. So if we are clever enough, we shall wake up and take the steps further for the good of the world. I wish you today a very nice, good night, and see you tomorrow.
