One without second
The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root center storing the seeds of destiny from past karma. Destiny is the fruit of past deeds, yet time itself is an illusion created by the human intellect. Realization occurs in timeless Samādhi, where consciousness becomes one without a second. The knower, knowledge, and object merge. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a purification process to clean the mirror obscured by the dust of ignorance and negative karma. Techniques like Kriyā Yoga facilitate this. Mūlādhāra is also the root of jealousy and anger; these emotions block energy and harm the body. Tension depends not on the body but on the thinking process, which monitors all feelings. This chakra is the earth element, representing Mother Earth who nourishes all. Human greed, unlike need, is endless and stems from fear. Negative company and talk place a heavy burden on the spiritual sprout. Divine Śakti, though seated in Mūlādhāra due to destiny, has her strongest concentration in Śiva in the Sahasrāra, and his strongest part is in Mūlādhāra. Their union is the goal. As Śakti awakens and rises, it regenerates the body and ignites the sole desire for divine love.
"Time is only a product of the human brain. We made the watch."
"When these three merge into one, then remains only Sohaṁ, Ahaṁ Brahmāsmi."
