With willpower, anything is possible
A spiritual discourse on self-mastery, karma, and the Kundalini Shakti.
"Each one of us is very wise. Each one knows very, very much. The problem is that we do not use our own knowledge for ourselves."
"Kundalinī-Śakti is the divine power, the divine Mother. It is the Shakti that exists throughout the entire universe, between Ānanda and Chetana."
Swami Ji addresses a gathering, explaining that spiritual progress requires lifelong work with one's own karma and wisdom, which people often apply to others but not themselves. He describes the nature of Kundalini Shakti as the divine willpower between consciousness and matter, and details the challenges of the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra, symbolized by a crocodile representing laziness and negative emotions. The talk covers overcoming personal problems through discernment (Viveka), the importance of liberating ancestors (Pitra), and the transformative journey of awakening.
