This is called the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra. "Svādhiṣṭhāna" means "sva," the self, and "iṣṭhāna," the place. It is the place of the self. The human consciousness begins to develop, and the manifestation of the human personality begins to take place, from the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra. The orange color? Mūlādhāra was red. Red is a solid, dormant color, Śakti. Orange color symbolizes awakening. When the morning dawn awakes all creatures, they wake up. Even the flowers wake up. Only some humans who go to bed very late cannot. Orange color means awakening, or the dormant evening when the sunset is there again. The same orange color is the color of renunciation. Autumn is the season of renouncing, giving all the fruits. All leaves become orange and will fall again. Though our salt of the earth came from the earth and will reunite with the earth again. One poet said something beautiful. I must tell you; you will know when I will stop talking. That's it. This machine is very difficult to stop. So, one poet-artist was sitting near the hills, beautiful trees and yellow leaves, and one leaf fell down and a strong wind took it away. The leaf was whirling in the wind and went far away. Now the artist is writing a poem: "The leaf broke from the branch and the wind took it away. This separation today—when will we come together again?" Because the leaf will fall somewhere far away. The wind is destiny. And that leaf is us. And the tree is this world. One day it will fall down. Where will we go? And if we will come together again? The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind. Destiny. Understand, my dear, destiny. So this color is a renunciation color. That is why Indian monks, whether Hindu or Buddhist—we are all the same—wear this color. Because we have renounced already. We have work for all. A sannyāsī, a monk, does not change everyday dress for a different color. Orange color means the energy, awakening. Orange color means the fire. Fire burns everything. Whether it is a Czech crown or some newspaper, fire does not say, "Oh, it's money, money, take it out." So this is a color of purification. No negative energy can go through this color. No black magic has an effect on this color. This color is a protection, like bulletproof glass. You send a negative thought; it will come like a fly banging on the glass, unable to go through. This is a blessed color and the color of the earth, orange color. And now it is very safe for traffic. When you walk, everybody knows somebody is walking. Crocodile? There was an elephant. Now it is a crocodile. A beautiful animal, also a creature of God. But the crocodile symbolizes laziness, cruelty, jealousy, anger, and hate. And these are the qualities in this Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra. That is passion, the calm. If someone goes against your passion, then you become angry. When your anger does not function, then you become jealous. And when you have only this, then you become greedy. When through anger and jealousy you cannot solve your problem, then you become cruel and full of hatred. So these are the negative aspects which are dormant in every one of us. Now, how to overcome them is your decision. Pessimism. Kāma Śakti. It is in the nature. It has no certification. Day by day it is the same, increasing. Animals are much better controlled than humans nowadays. Because humans have freedom, and through this freedom they became blind. So you should have your feelings but under control. Anger. Anger is the devil. The real devil drinks the blood of others. But anger drinks the blood of others and yourself. Jealousy is a sign of an undeveloped personality. It means you are still not fully developed, because you depend on something. And when someone looks at your things, you are afraid. You think somebody will take it away and you cannot live without it. This is attachment, and attachment is fear and the cause of suffering. Jealousy—an undeveloped personality. It does not matter who we are. And we know if we are jealous or not. And it is not easy. That is why I am telling you these things. So we have to control and understand nothing is permanent. Everything that is changing is unreality. And what is not changing is reality. Our feelings, our jealousy, our anger, our hate, our attachment—everything is changing. Therefore, to purify this chakra—pročištění téhle čakry je určitá kriyā a určitá mantra. Every chakra has its own bīja-mantra, and here "mantra" we understand as resonance. Nāda rūpa para-brahmā. The form of the Supreme is resonance. And when you have some desire, there is a resonance in your body that comes to the brain and transfers to the senses. It is a very fine feeling, resonance. The Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra has a resonance, but at the same time it has beautiful qualities opposite to these five. Attachment leads you to suffering. And freedom leads you to happiness. It is natural that we are attached to our parents, friends, and family members. That is called love. Where there is love, there is freedom, not attachment. But where there is attachment, there is no love; there are only desires. And we have to overcome the desires and turn the desires into love. Otherwise, if you think now, "I am detached," will your children suffer? No. You should give more attention to children. Your children do not need your toys; your children need your love. And your children do not need your money; they need your wisdom. Lucky are they whose parents are wise ones, and they can educate children. So kāma, krodha, mada, lobha, moha, and ahaṅkāra—these are the qualities of the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra. Here, kāma turns into prema, love. Krodha turns into harmony, peace. Hate turns into understanding. Greediness turns into giving, renunciation. Give, give, give. Humans are here to give, not to take. So this Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra, according to your book which you have here, The Hidden Power in Humans: when the Kuṇḍalinī rises here, then the crocodile becomes active. But here is Brahmā, the creator, and here is Sarasvatī, the goddess of intellect and wisdom, and she controls everything. So here the beauty of your life begins. The learning begins. The lesson of life begins here. And your future door is open. When we are born, we have two directions: Uthān and Patan. Uthān means development, achievement. Patan means destruction. The roots of both are in oneness, one place. And that place is called saṅgha—society, or company. In front of the saṅgha, when we write "sat," then it becomes sat-saṅgha, good society. That leads to development, achievement. And in front of the saṅgha, when we write "ku," it becomes ku-saṅgha. Ku-saṅgha means bad society. That is called social illness: drugs, criminal activities, all negative activities. So, the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra has both forces. Decide yourself and be strong, because here is also the willpower inside. When you are 12, 13 years, 14 years—what you call a teenager—then this chakra becomes active. That is called the wild water. To cross the wild water is not easy. But if you have good parents and a master, your life becomes divine. The Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra is in your hands. Calm, anger, jealousy, hate, greediness, hatred, selfishness—these work out. It means how to work out. You are angry. Deep inhale, and exhale, and close your eyes. Just half a minute. Think. What are you doing? Immediately your anger will come down. Do not make a fist to the glass window; then for two months your hand will be like this. Why? Because it is stupidity. Anger. So anger and ahaṅkāra, ego, is the biggest destructive power. All people who fall down in this world, their ego destroys them. Therefore, humbleness is the best.
