Part 1: The Journey of the Soul: From Earth to Ājñā Good evening. Welcome, dear sisters and brothers. Today, our subject is the Kuṇḍalinī and the Cakras. We are practicing Kriyā Yoga with the Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras. We began from the Mūlādhāra Cakra and now we are on the sixth center. We began with the Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, and Viśuddhi. These are the five Cakras we learned, but we didn’t practice. If we had practiced, we would be completely different. When we did not practice and did not come regularly, it became like a fairy tale. But still, my duty is to continue the subject. How many years already? Five years, and now the sixth year. This Cakra is the border between humans and the goddess. We learned the Cakras, the earth Cakra. The earth has a very strong connection to the moon and sun. The moon is more powerful than the sun. Therefore, the moon is dividing, slowly, slowly going back, and then going again for it. The sun is a full moon. On the full moon day, many people have headaches, cannot sleep, and are restless. Not only humans, but animals too. It is for three days, or five days. For five days, the energy in our body is restless, and on the full moon day, it is more restless. Therefore, we give this to our students, practitioners, and all: the household is called a fast. Until the children are about 10 or 12 years old, it’s okay. Then they should learn how to fast. By the fifth year, until age ten, you should have learned how to fast. During the period of pregnancy, they should not fast. And one month after delivery, you should not fast. And the man should fast more, so that she doesn’t have to go cooking, you know. She has to take care of the children, alright? So you can fast twice. It was a joke. On the full moon day, the ocean is very restless, with high waves. When it’s a dark moon night, it’s very peaceful. There are waves on the ocean; otherwise, the whole world will fall down. We relax, meditate, but still we are inhaling, exhaling; we are breathing. Similarly, the ocean is breathing from one shore to the other. Similarly, we inhale through the whole lungs; we inhale, expanding, and exhale, contracting. That is this function: according to everything, it is according to the moon and the water, the ocean. The moon has fourteen days, slowly, slowly coming to the full moon, and after that, fourteen days going back. There is a translation, the transferring of the energy in the whole nature—not only the humans, but the whole nature, vegetation also, animals also, the creatures in the water also, all. So we have to follow our days, when and how we should do it. Some people are also fasting on the dark moon. But on the full moon, often people get depression, or on the dark moon. So, everyone, and mostly the women have problems, because the glands have different effects on the body, especially the thyroid gland. So, through meditation and exercises, what we are doing is very important. The first Cakras, or centers, are on the soles of our feet. Everything, all the centers that we have in the brain, are also in the foot soles. They are connecting together. That’s called the earth Cakra. From the ankle joint up to our knees is the vegetation, and that is also the very wild bush, forest, many things. There are also reptiles. In these reptilians, the energy which is coming from the earth with the vegetation is very strong. Then from the knee till the hip joints are animals. There, animals and humans, energy begins to come. So we are there from the knee till the hip joints, the end of the down, the end of the spine. So here, this is the point that is very difficult to cross, to come over. This is the energy; our behaviors, everything is between and together with the humans and animals’ qualities. Many times we are doing something, we said, "This is not human." But we are getting better and better. Every border, every border of these levels, they are taking their energy back, they are observing. Like from one country to another country’s border. Both sides’ soldiers are taking care, from this country and from that country. So the animals will try to pull us back, and we will try to come up. So, meditation, yoga practice—we humans are here to come up. It means our consciousness can come to those higher levels. Many people say, "I want to come to heaven," but you haven’t seen heaven. You haven’t seen heaven, so why do you want to go to heaven? Or there is a hell. In hell is a very nice khel. Khel means what we call the game, the game of life. You go and come back. Enjoy. But how it is, we don’t know. Therefore, the best is to come to the Brahmaloka. Heaven and hell are one quarter, and the whole entire universe is different. So let’s try to purify both. The hell and heaven are in our body, in our consciousness, in our thoughts, in our feelings. Everything is in us. Outside is nothing. Nothing. And we are endless. We can expand our consciousness. We can expand our mind. The mind is so quick. Day before yesterday, I told you, I think, that the mind is so quick. I can tell you, I can show you that before I show you, you are there. For example, I said, "The sun, you are already there." Your mind is already there. You know what the sun is, how it is, this, that, or the moon, or from here to Kriveṣya. Do you know what a Kriveṣya is? Not all. You think that everyone knows what is Croatia? Many people, you can ask them in Austria, but many don’t know. They say, "Yes, yes, Australia." You say, "No, not Australia, Austria." They say, yes, yes, Australia. I was in Japan. They also have our yoga in daily life there. That was in 1987; I was there. I was sitting in Tokyo, and my disciples were there. He’s a professor at Tokyo University. You know Tokyo University, the people are very proud of it, and you know that if some fail, the students, they commit suicide, very much, and they... respect the professors and dean very much. So I went to buy something in one shop, and one person came. We bought one—what was it? I think one cloth or something. He wanted to give the bill, and he gave the card, the credit card, to my disciple from Vienna. He’s from Vienna, at the university in Tokyo. When he saw the professor of the university, he said, "One moment, please." He was going like this, so humbly, so humble. He went to his boss and said, "Professor of the university." He came up, "Hello, sir, hello." So, humbleness, you know, kindness—you see how much respect they have. Respect has to be. It’s not only that you make yourself lower. No, no, no. It is a respect, yes? And we have lost respect. I went to another country, I don’t want to tell the name. We go for shopping, and then I say, "Thank you." They say, "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm," and said, "Good morning, how are you, mm-hmm." That’s all. So you see, I am sorry, I am going further on. How nice is it in Tokyo and places like this? After, we went to drink coffee or tea, I don’t know, something. That time, there was already a nice table, and on the table, there were all kinds of tools. No, these tools, electronic all, 1978, everything, the button here, button here, inside, and we had not. So they are very high, far, anyhow. We are sitting there, and two Tokyo people are sitting. They said, "From which country are you?" Sir, I live in Austria. Oh, Australia. I said, no, no,... Austria. Yes, yes, sir, Australia. I said, no, Austria. Where is that? Where are you? I said, "I’m in Vienna." I don’t know. Which are the big cities there? So I said Salzburg. Oh, Mozart. Oh, Mozart. Yes, Mozart, Austria, Mozart. So they know Mozart better, and not Australia. So that’s what I want to say, my dear. Of course, now it’s technology, so far we know mostly, otherwise we don’t know many things where we are. Similarly, we don’t know ourselves. We don’t know many things about our body, our thoughts, our feelings, everything. So, through this, what is happening in this? So animals, humans, etc., but we all are living, same beings. So, what should we want to know? And I was... I will come. Always, I want to tell what I will do, and again I am coming in the wrong—not wrong, but on the far way. Now, that is something you will see today. You are surprised, you will. We have one moon, here or no? No, I have the moon in my telephone. And we have one Sun. We have one Jupiter. Okay. Now, we have our physical body, then we have a mental body, and then a subtle body. All five elements: the physical body, then the energy body, then the mental body, then the knowledge, and the joy, the bliss. These are the five layers of the body. We are not the soul, we are not the body, we are not the energy, we are not the mind, we are not Vijñāna, the knowledge, and we are not joy or the feeling, but we have them. So, where is your soul? It’s inside, okay. I tell you that on the door, someone is ringing the bell, and you come, "Who is there?" You will say, "I am." Come in, who are you? You say this and this. What is this? It’s my shoulder, or your hair. What is this in my hair? Purījī, Purījī... What is the part of the onion? The third part of the onion. Onions, parts, parts... Inside in the thing. Where is the onion? This flower. One, two, three. Where is it after the thing? So your soul, my soul, their soul—how many souls? Where is it? This is very, very important to know, and it is very interesting to know this. How many souls? Now, there is ignorance, and there is, you know, so this is—I have come to know through these Cakras completely more. And so, our soul is one soul. God’s soul and our soul are one, God. Then what is that? Well, I’ll give you one example. We have an ocean. It’s an ocean. We divide it into seven different oceans. What is an ocean? And you divide it a little bit. What is water? Without water, there is no ocean. And if you have no ocean, then you must have something. You must have something, and that’s called devotion. No? You have an ocean or the ocean. Anyhow, now through the heat, from the water, the oceans, the steam comes up. It is steam. If you see the steam, it is like little, little drops. The fog has drops, and that is the steam rising up. Now, the ocean becomes this steam. It goes up; we call it a cloud, and so on and so on. Then, one very fine drop becomes what we call heavy clouds, or the snow falls, or sometimes the hail comes out. Now, this ocean went there, where? In the Sahara, in the desert. This drop falls down, but this drop of water, sooner or later, one day will come again to the ocean. Similarly, our soul, no matter where we are, from the reptiles and also other water animals, again it will come to the animals. So now the high clouds, and what’s coming? Rain falling. These drops, drops, drops will come and begin to flow, the water on the ground. It will come together and become one creek. From a creek it becomes a river. Where should the river go? Back to the ocean. Again, it is in the ocean. It’s only one ocean. So, on my palm, here on the whole of my palm, there is one drop of water. And under my hand is the ocean. This drop, that is the water, and down we call it Śiva. So this drop of water, as long as it is in my palm, is individually little. But when it will fall into the ocean, it is one with the ocean because it is the ocean. Similarly, another question and answer: the water of the ocean is already in these leaves and the whole flowers. There is nothing, mostly water. In all trees, in the grass, everywhere is the water. But which water is in the ocean? It is one. Duality is between. That is called duality. And duality, so that now water is in my body and yours is in your body. Similarly, this soul, what we call, there is only one soul. Destiny, then what we call my destiny and your destiny. Who is destiny there? You have no destiny. But that water is still there, and we have covered this all. Part 2: The Oneness of Water and Soul Today, I received some water. They said, "Swāmījī, the Fijian water is so nice, clean from Fiji." This water came from there to here, and I drank it here. I then flew to Auckland, New Zealand, and from there I went to Nadi in Fiji. I used the bathroom there. What happened to that water? The water came from Fiji. Who brought it here? The company. I drank it, kept it with me, went to Fiji, and I brought the water back there. What luck that the water quickly came there. So, it shows that there is no one—sorry—there is only one, not two. My Gurujī, the holy Gurujī sitting there, said: "Only one in all and all in one." One in all and all in one. We are sitting in this room, all of us, and we will all go out. But our soul, that is what I am, really. I am thinking so much. The salt is the salt, and salt will not die. That is the water. That water is coconut water, and the other water is from the ocean. But here, it is the same thing. This quality is different, so my quality is different. Your quality is different; therefore, you are there. But then you will say one day, "Now it’s finished." Then what will happen to our body? So all is gone, but our body also will not die. All is separating. So the physical, the earth in the earth, water in the water, air in the air, fire in the fire, and space in the space. Again, we are divided ourselves. But there is, so when we go to meditate and pray, we are saying, "My God, it is my destiny, my this, my that." This is all our ignorance, and we are running here and there in ignorance. The snake’s soul is also there, but the snake’s behavior, quality, etc., is different. That you will read, and you will see how your soul is coming to our self. Animals are different. All creatures are different. And humans, it is said in one way, the most dangerous creature is a human. But we got an injection. We get an injection every day. From your parents, from your church, from the temple, from your Swāmījī. Every time you get an injection, it means good knowledge. Your mother will tell you, "Be nice, be kind." Your father will also tell you. So these are the injections; otherwise, what will happen, we don’t know. So, all this book is an injection for you, so that you will read something you don’t understand. You will read and say, "Aha, it’s something." It comes back again, and so humans are getting the knowledge, and this knowledge is the injection. The knowledge is that now, day by day, many great persons are coming, and there is also a science coming again and again. But again, Vedānta and the Vedas said everything. Then why are you searching? So the science, so literally you can say science means there is a sense, there is a sense, there is a science. So I said there is a sense; it is a science. And now the sense, now what are we doing with the sense? We want to know what kind of sense is there, and then it is said, research. Science, scientist, science is a research. And that research, it was already given to us by God. But no, we are searching. So it is said, you are sitting here and I am sitting somewhere. You have great knowledge, and you can give me the message from a thousand kilometers away. But I have no techniques; you have techniques. So if I am not perfect, you can talk and talk, send a message, but I will get nothing. So the scientist nowadays, without so much work, he has a telephone, and he gives me a telephone. I give this, and he said, "Hello, how are you?" Oh, fine. Where are you? I am in Tokyo. Oh, thank you. Where are you? I am in Africa. How is this going? So that is how this science, this sense has been researched, and in research again, this research had—it’s called—yogīs they could listen from far distance, see from far distance, but we all want to have not only one or two, and therefore our science is here. Similarly, this science, day by day, and you may think that it is not good, but I adore the scientists, every time. I came from New Zealand, Australia, Oakland, and I took a flight. I came to you here, nearly 13 hours, nearly. And how this aeroplane took me, like a mother takes a little child in the lap, comfortably. You people have learned. They are all these young people. They are so good. They are learning more and more. So science is that within us, but still we don’t know. The ātmā is not only one, it is one. Clear or not? It can be apple juice, orange juice, grape juice, alcohol juice; everything is there, but it is only one liquid, only one liquid. And so we are only one. So this is getting, it’s called Jīvātmā. Jīv, Jīv means life, and this water means, we call in... In every different language, water is life. Many countries say Bodha Jīvoth. And there was one person who brought this water from Fiji, that company. He is from a part of Europe. He made what is called Vodafone. Vodafone, you know. And because he loves his country, and he loves the water of his country, he said, "Vodafone." And everywhere is now Vodafone. And now this water from Fiji, this is that company brought this water, but he didn’t say "Boda," okay? He said only water. So we bring, but we are one. We are one. So in this way, we shall come. So it is, what is called Jīva, Bodha, and Ajīva. And in my language, in Hindi, it is said, "Jal jahāṁ Jagadīś, jal jahāṁ Jagadīś." Where there is water, there is God, and where there is God, there is the soul. And so, these are the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space. But within this is the soul, and that is what we are researching, and we will come through this chakra that we have. Yes? Do you have a question about this? So similarly, this water, now how we are living, that you know very well, but I will tell. I have nice grapes, and then we make the juice from the grapes, and then we put it somewhere in a pot or a pothole, so that the different water is still, and then it becomes alcohol. Grapes are grapes. The quality is going on, changing. So, I am a human, you are a human, but what I have changed in my mind is that you have a pure mind and a good mind, and maybe I do not have a good mind. But this quality is changing, but in reality, it is the one. And so, in reality, we are coming to these programs. This is everything, and that is very, very important. So, now, we shall not destroy or kill or say any bad things to any creatures. We love the tiger, but we keep a distance. We have the lions, but we must not just go and have a friend. The elephant is very nice. Indians are praying to Gaṇeśa, Bhagavān Gaṇeśa, and also in the chakras. There is also Gaṇeśa coming two or three times, I think. But it means that we should be careful. We have the fire element in our body, and we have the fire burning there. So we cannot say, "Okay, it’s my fire inside, and this is my fire; I will go in the fire, Hari Om Tat Sat," finished. So that is the way we are coming to this part. Now I would like to have a meditation, Hari Om. So I would give you one exercise, a little bit, so that you can feel good. Come more near; people are there. So please stand up, take your chair, and come this side. Thank you. Please interlock your fingers with your palms up towards the ceiling, and twenty-five times, stand on your toes and come back down. One, two, three, four, five, six, stretching, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, go ahead, twenty-three, I was counting, twenty-four, and twenty-five, very good. Legs apart, hands again up, bend to your left side, your left side, and your right side. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, in the middle. Okay, please sit comfortably in your chakra, not posture, meditation posture. How can you sit comfortably? Is there a chair free for you, if you need it? Okay, so that is for you. Okay, you can lean also to the wall, okay? Make yourself comfortable, please. Now we will have meditation. Sit comfortably, adjust yourself, and be comfortable. You can stand, you can sit, you can lie down, but there is little space to lie down. If we have more space, we can stand. You see in this hall, whatever you want to see in this hall, you can see. After, when I say to close your eyes, it is not necessary to open them again until I give you instruction. So there will be nothing new in this. So, withdraw yourself from the external world. Feel yourself in this hall and close your eyes. Close your eyes. Make yourself comfortable. Relax the whole body from the toes to the top of the head and from the top of the head to the toes. Relax the whole body. Your body is expanded in the whole universe. You need not go anywhere. All is in you. Relax. Make yourself comfortable. If you feel discomfort, you can change your posture anytime. No problem. But don’t disturb others. Relax. Relax. Relax the home. Imagine and feel your energy outside. It means the radiance from your aura, about five to ten centimeters around your whole body. It is your energy. Purities, very fine. It’s like aura. It’s like a milky light, very fine. You are very pure. You have all good thoughts. Feel your physical body from the toes to the top of the head. From the top of the head to the toe. From the toes to the head and from the head to the toes. Relax. And now feel your body expanding and contracting very slightly with your breath. We inhale, the body expands. We are exhaling; it’s contracting. Feel yourself comfortable. You are your master. You are yourself. Inhalation and exhalation. I am only giving instructions. You have everything. You have everything. I need not tell you. My friend, be aware of thyself. Relax. Relax. We feel the trunk of the body while inhaling and contract the trunk of the body while exhaling. There is expansion and contraction in the whole body, but we feel it more in the trunk of the body. I know that I am inhaling, and I know that I am exhaling. Bring the awareness to your throat. Yes, inhalation and exhalation. And also, the water goes through your throat, your nourishment also. Feel comfortable in your throat. Relax, relax. Ājñā Cakra, the center of the eyebrows, but we have the five different paths to achieve the Ājñā Cakra. Jñāna Indriyas, the Jñāna Indriyas: the nostrils, inhalation; the sound through our both ears; through our eyes, the vision; the mouth, the taste. And sensation means feeling your whole skin, wherever you touch. Five Jñāna Indriyas: smelling through the nose, vision through the eyes, sound through the ears, taste through the mouth, and touch through the skin. It is your body, it is your feelings. I am only reminding you, my dear, you have everything, you know everything, be thyself, relax. All these jñānendriyas—jñāna means the knowledge, indriya means the senses—take care of your senses, keep your senses healthy: your eyes, your nose, your ears, your skin, your taste. With closed eyes... Try to remember or to know the light with your closed eyes. At the center of the eyebrows, whatever you see, just try to see. May some light, may some like a color of the curtains or dark only. It’s you, yourself, just what you feel and see with your eyes closed. Behind the wall of the forehead, inside, keep your eyes closed, and what you see in that space may only be dark or some sparks, like the stars. I know that I am relaxed. I know my eyes, my skin, myself. Do not create any stress. Just be relaxed with thyself. Feel your skin. No tensions in the body. Feel your hands, your hands on your thighs or on your toes, your whole body, your whole body. You are yourself. You have the knowledge, you have the positive thoughts, you have the positive energy. Be humble to thyself. Be happy. And deep inhale and exhale. Let’s expand your stomach and exhale. We will chant Om three times, and we will remember and get in touch with our outer world. Deep inhale, normal breath, hear the outer world sound, fold your palms, and rub your palms. Place your palms on the face, open your eyes, and slightly, gently muscle your eye face and move your hands. Adio.
