Oṁ Sukharam Kevalaṁ Gyātiṁ Tvandatitaṁ Gaganasadṛśaṁ Tasmāśyādi Lakṣyaṁ Ekaṁ Nityaṁ Vimalāchalaṁ Sarvaddhisākṣibhūtaṁ Bhavatitaṁ Triguṇarahitaṁ Satguru taṁ namāmyaṁ. Oṁ śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. Salutation to our holiness, adoration to the cosmic self, in the presence of the divine. Good evening, dear brothers and sisters. It's nice to be here again in this part of London, very near to nature, a beautiful park. We are going to speak today. It's called "Hidden Powers in Humans." Yes, indeed, it is something beautiful, and what to do with that power, or how to know that I have those abilities, and how to awaken and use that energy in our everyday life. Definitely, everything is coming out of the science of yoga. Yoga is a very ancient science of body, mind, and consciousness. The practice of yoga leads humans toward their origin, which is the cosmic self. We are all part of the cosmic Self. That cosmic self is known as Ātmā. Where the individual phenomenon is involved, that part of the cosmic self is the Ātmā. And where the cosmic Self is in the entire universe. Anant Brahmāṇḍ Śāstra Sūryas, endless universe and thousands of the sun systems, many planets, stars, many elements, consciousness—all these are in one, and that's called the cosmic self. Our individual self is known as the soul. And the soul is a bundle of our karmas. Karma means the actions. Where there is action, there is a reaction. And where there is a reaction, there is action. It doesn't matter how you will do it, physically, mentally, verbally, or through your social position or power. Everything will affect your life. Every step will be counted. Every action, every thought will be counted. The result or the reaction of our action is known as destiny. Within the destiny, we don't know what is dormant. Good luck and bad luck. Good energy and bad energy. All is dormant in our consciousness. The level of consciousness is different. Unconscious, the level of the unconscious which is carrying our destiny. Means from the past life. All forgotten, which is not existing in our memory. All the actions and reactions which happen through our existence in past lives are recorded in our unconscious level. And the destiny of this life is dependent on our past lives. Anything that happens in your life, good or bad, is coming from the past life. Our life, now in present time and in this life, is decided by the destiny of the past. Prārabdha phala rachā, pīṣa rasa śarīra, first was created your destiny. What you are doing in this life, you are preparing for your next life. Prārabdha phale rachā, first was created destiny, and then the body is given. Body in which form? It is not necessary that we will always be born as a human. We do not have a permanent reservation or guarantee to be human. But it is that human qualities and human actions, deeds will lead again the human to the human life. In the destiny already decided where you will be born, it was not your decision. Who will be your parents was not your decision. How your body will be, healthy or unhealthy, was not your decision. What kind of experiences you will go through in this life is not your decision. Which kind of circumstances you will face in your life, it's not in your decisions whom you will meet and who will cause you pleasure or unpleasantness. Imagine that we are a balloon in the sky, and the wind of the destiny will take this balloon in the direction, and so each individual phenomenon is a balloon in this universe. From the beginning of your existence as an individual in this universe, you are alone, fluttering on the waves of time. Sometimes through the darkness, sometimes through the light, experiencing sometimes pleasure, happiness, and sometimes going through the pain, suffering, physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain, intellectual pain, and so on. No one knows. Your situation, only you know. In this world, also, no one understands you. We all will understand you only so far, as long as we are selfish and we need something from you. But your inner wounds, your inner sufferings, only you know. Or... Your happiness, your inner beauty, your inner joy, and your inner divine self, your reality, only you know it. It must not be always negative, and so only you know, or there is someone more, if we believe God knows, and that everything. What happened and what you are thinking is the impression from your past lives in the form of destiny. The creator has created this world and different creatures, including the earth, planet, the elements, vegetations, and the lives, even this tree. It has a life, and this tree is doing its duty. It's giving us fruits, oxygen, beautiful shade, and a very pleasant sight for our eyes. If you look constantly at some concrete buildings, cement buildings, your eyes will have problems; you will have eye pressure. And if you look at the tree, your eyes will be relaxed, and you will enjoy. We, in our spirituality, call the tree and the sand equal. Sharvar, a lake. The lake is holding water for all, not for itself. A lake doesn't drink its own water only, but it is for all. Tarvar is a tree; it doesn't eat its own fruits. It doesn't take on oxygen only, but it gives. Tree is not only the friend to them who give the water, and the tree is not an enemy to them who cut the tree or throw stones to get the fruits down. We humans throw stones at the tree, but the tree throws back fruits to us. Shant, the saint, the holy person, is not existing in this world only for himself or herself, but for all. If one thinks bad, negative, but still the saints will bless you, still they will send positive energy and love. The preaching of the saint is not for only particular people, but for all. And the fourth is the rain. It's not only raining for good people or the people. The rain is not only for the trees, but for all creatures. So there's a beautiful poem, and in this poem it is said, these four are equal: the lake, the tree, the sand, and the rain. These four are the protectors for this planet. So God has created many, many different creatures. We know, according to the yogic knowledge, 8.4 million different creatures. All represent the light of God. It doesn't matter in which form they are. Even a poisonous snake represents the light of God. Even the bacteria, they also represent the light of God. Out of 8.4 million different creatures, one is the human. And humans have got buddhi, intellect. And through this intellect, humans can become as a God, what we call. That's why we call him the holy man or incarnation. God is one only, and that is universal in the entire universe. He cannot incarnate. He needs not to incarnate. He is here. This space is filled with the divine consciousness. If you have that ability, you can see that's God. If you don't have abilities, then we try to see some forms. But out of this cosmic power, time to time, some great souls, divine souls, what we call, they manifest themselves here. They incarnate here. Sometimes, even they incarnate in animal form if it is needed. You will see here also. Many statues throughout London are half human and half animal. If you look at Greek mythology, you will see many as half animal and half human. Why? There was some reason. There was something, so one never knows which energy in which form acts in this world. It is the human intellect that makes the human. I used to give five points to think over to make your life comfortable, make your life happy, and realize your aim, the achievement in this life. First, every day when you wake up, morning, afternoon, evening, and time to time, consciously, think consciously, I am a human. Do you think every day that you are human? Now, what happens when I think that I am a human? It will remind me. It will make me alert. It will warn me. What I should do and what I should not do as a human. What are animals doing? They are doing their duty. They don't do like humans. And if a human is doing something like an animal, then shame to be in this human body. Think, time to time, the second thought every day. It's not for now. Try one month, and you will be so happy, and many things will become so clear to you. What makes me human? Animals also have five elements. They are also, their bodies created out of five elements, and ours also, and the tree also. Trees also have exactly the five elements. Tigers, crocodiles, all everything on this planet is. Out of these five elements, what makes me, especially as a human, the qualities, human qualities? There is a difference between a diamond and a normal stone, but a diamond is also a stone, different. We know the diamond has a different qualities, and this stone has different qualities, which are the qualities of the human. So this is the next point: the qualities of the human are that kind of qualities, not to be angry. When you are angry, you can compare yourself with others. Creatures, not a human, and that's very easy to say but very difficult to follow. When you are in a hurry to go somewhere, driving your car, and one is driving in front of you a little slow, then you are so angry, no? So kindness, humbleness, faithfulness, mercifulness, forgiveness, understanding, giving, love, belief, these are the human qualities. And these human qualities, some animals have them too. Your dog is very faithful. Sometimes your dog is more faithful than your friends or somebody else. Your dog loves so much, continuously, more than anyone. When you come home from work, you know how happy your dog is. Jumping and jumping and this, but what makes him happy? You, and you make him happy. Non-human quality is the disappointment, creating disappointment. Angry, jealous, greedy, doesn't care about anything. No feelings, no compassion, no mercy. That is not a human quality. Out of our selfishness, we act in such a way that we say, "I don't care, it's my life." You know, in the modern world now, even children say to their parents, "It's my life. Who are you to tell me? Okay, you are my..." Parents, my birthright is to have everything from you. That's the modern thinking. How to develop those qualities? Next question. So think over how to create this positive energy. These are the hidden treasures in your body: a kindness, to be in-kind, that you cannot... Buy in the market with no money? You can buy the kindness? If you buy someone, pay the money and say, "Please be kind to me," then say, "Okay." Like in an aeroplane, you know, the hostage in an aeroplane? They are very kind, very nice before landing. They... Said, "If you have any question, please contact with the ground staff. Their duty was only as long as you paid on this period and finished." Kindness, love, understanding, mercy, happiness, contentment—these are the universal principles, and that you cannot... By all, you can develop gain within thyself, within your consciousness. Sorry. So every day, try to practice, begins to practice forgiveness. The person who is driving in front of you slowly, don't be angry. You don't know, maybe his car is... Not in order, so thanks to God that he's driving slowly. If he will go quickly, make an accident, you will be the next one who involves in it. So these principles will make you the holy. That will make you the greatest. And therefore, what does it mean for me to be a human? I am human. What does it mean to be a human? And finally, the last thought which you should have every day. What is my mission in this life? Nothing is created without some reason. You didn't come just here. But there was some reason why you came here, and also me. I was not just walking here and stepping in and sitting here, no. Everything is pre-planned. My destiny, just this second, these minutes, these hours, is our destiny together, which brought us. That's it. And maybe the destiny will, after some minutes... Or ours will again separate. Maybe we have such a strong thread now, it will pull me to you, or you will be pulled to me, like iron and magnet. What is human destiny, and what is a human mission? And there it is said, "O man, eating, sleeping," drinking and having, creating children, animals are also very expert. If you are doing only this, then what is the difference between you and other creatures? Only one mission human has, and that is: "Ko'ham? Katham idaṁ jātaṁ? Ko ve kathasya vidyate?" Who am I? Know thyself. That's called self-realization. On the day when your consciousness will merge, or expand, or become one, uniting with the universal one, that time you know who you are, and from that. Border, no more karma, no more destiny. You are one with that supreme. That is the human goal. Otherwise, there is a constant circle, clockwise, going, coming, going, coming, ānand, ānand, endless. So your inner self knows in how many lives you have been. Suffering or not, you know, we humans are so greedy, and we see so many suffering other creatures. Life is very dear to all; no one wants to die. There's one story which I would like to tell you, a real story which happened three weeks ago. A farmer took some bulls in a truck to the slaughterhouse. At the slaughterhouse, they bring the truck near to that building, and they open the gate, and there's like a tunnel. You can't go left and right. You have to go further, and there you are the victim, that you will be killed. And there was a young, very young, beautiful bull. All are screaming and feared, trembling. The animal knows what's happening, and once he tried to run away and broke some barriers and jumped over the fence and ran away. They alarmed. The police were there with blue lights. Police were searching with the alarms, and on the radio, it was announced to all the drivers to be careful. One of our disciples heard this, and he quickly ran and went there where they were searching. They found it, but he jumped between and said, "Please, I would like to buy this bull and save his life. How much money do you want? I will give it. Please give it to me." And the police also then felt so much love and pity for this creature, so he bought that bull. And brought to some farmhouse and gave the money that he adopt this bull. Life-long, it came in the newspaper with the photos, and there are some disciples from that part of the world. They can tell, yes or no. Was it? Someone knows? Where was it? Slovenia. Who was the disciple? Vidyā, Gopāla. That's it. So you know how the animals can feel the pain also. If you can't dry the tears of others, don't be the cause of the tears. Humans are created here as protectors, not as distractors. Humans belong to this nature, but because humans have got intellect to decide if someone is suffering or not. What is the pain? What does suffering mean? And what is the mercy and forgiveness? Only humans have these qualities, and that makes you divine, that makes you holy. And so, hidden powers in humans—one can become from human to God through what? Awakening and utilizing those human qualities. And in order to protect the human qualities, God himself, from time to time, incarnates and protects. That's called dharma, dharma and adharma. Dharma is righteousness, and adharma is cruelty. God doesn't support that cruelty. It is in the nature enough. But to come out of this, we have those divine qualities in our body. In our body, there are 72,000 nerves. And these 72,000 nerves are like a network to the whole body, not only for the blood circulation, but to transmit the cosmic energy in the form of consciousness. And at the beginning and end of each nerve, and where the nerve gets a branch, the junction, the next branch, everywhere there is an energy center, an acupressure point. They are called reflex zones. If you get an electro-acupressure treatment, they find them. Some reflex zones, then on the monitor the needle will move. If they can't find a reflex zone, the needle will not move. It means there are so many chakras in the body, and these are 72,000 reflex zones. Imagine that, 72,000 rays, like sun rays. Is it entering in your body and also reflecting back that light? How does your body look like? We have one picture. Oh, this is my picture. Can I have this picture of this prāṇa chakras? Let's see that this is your body, and this. The major centers, chakras, where immense energies are flowing or dormant, but you see around the aura, this is nothing but these are 72,000 rays. Cosmic energy is penetrating through your body, and you are reflecting back. We don't have... Only one physical body, but we have different bodies. Normally, we call them the physical body, mental body, and subtle body. But if we go more deeply, then it is five different bodies: the physical body, the body of nourishment. Now here, this aura, what you... See, it is influenced also through our nourishment. For example, eat today a lot of onions and garlic, and see tomorrow how your aura will be completely different. Or drink today one, two little, uh, your whiskey, or what they say, whiskey or vodka, or what. And see next day morning how your aura is, or drink very nice juice, fruit juice, and see how your aura is, or drink a very nice glass of milk from a very nice cow which is in the free field, and see how your entire energy is changing. Can you see your aura? You have to practice every day. Hold your hand like this, and you see for a few minutes, and you will see that both fingers are uniting in oneness, or there is energy between; light is flowing. Many days program, practice, you can see the aura of a tree, you can see the reflection aura of this mic also. Practicing tratak in yoga is good for your eyesight and can awaken immense abilities to see the aura in a person. And when you study this long, then you can see the thoughts of the persons, what is changing. Changing, because every thought will influence this aura immediately. If you are angry, immediately it is a different color. So, physical body, then the mental body. The mental body, which is connected with our thoughts, how you are thinking, you need... Not to say anything, but your thinking tells everything. It's called face reading. When you come to me and I say, "Okay, come in," you know what I'm thinking? "Okay, come in, sit down. Would you like to drink something?" Or you come in, and I say, "Hello, how nice you came. Please, please come. How are you, my God?" My face has a completely different impression. Face reading in psychology: your eyebrow center tells if you are thinking with love and happiness, or you are thinking with rejection. Then you have here this kind of, uh, whales in your eyebrow center. Okay, girls and boys, take care. Don't make... Like this, okay? Also, the light of your eyes is either receptive, welcoming, or rejecting. May your eyebrows not act or move, but in your eyes, you are talking and you said yes. Nice, and very often you avoid talking through, looking to the eyes. One who feels guilty, the eyes will move to the other side or down. Say yes, yes, that's it. But of course, also, you should not starve, you know? Yes, how are you? Nice. That will also create a tension that we don't need. Also, the movements of your... Lips and the cheeks, these are the energy which is hidden in you, forcing your anatomy to act. If you smile, it is three muscles that are occupied, and if you don't smile, then 72 muscles are in tension. So, do you want 72 muscles? In stress, or you relax and smile, that all these three muscles are a little bit intense. From where does it come? From your mental body. The mental power is one of the strongest powers which we have. And now you see, from the Ājñā Chakra near the eyebrow centre, this is how your mental energy is influencing. And what we are doing when we meditate on God or on the Master or something, we try to influence God with our mental power to come to us. And finally, you are the winner. Always, devotees are winners. God has to come if your mental body is pure and your mental body is acting from the heart, from love. Love unites, and ignorance divides. And where there is ignorance, there is no love. There is jealousy, misunderstanding, greediness, and many, many different things which I will not tell now. Then it's called prāṇamaya kośa. That is something, the energy body in which the mind is existing, in which the mind is functioning. The strength of the mind is your prāṇa-śakti. Prana is the life force. Prana is that energy which is radiating through your whole body. Which is constantly moving. You are a junction, or you are like a telephone exchange. Or now we have a computer station. All your programs are going through one main junction. So everything is filtering this energy coming through the universe. 72,000 channels are transmitting through this individual phenomenon. It's one balloon. Energy is coming also from the earth, also from the space. Completely now, prāṇa also depends on the environment, food, society, with whom you are, what kind of relation you have to these people, for which reason you came to those people or to that person, and how is the behavior. Of the other one, everything influences your prāṇa, everything. And this prāṇa, either you will adopt it or you will reject it automatically. Which kind of more quality you have, that majority of that quality will attract that one. There are... Some people who like to go all the time to some night restaurants and spend time until the restaurant people throw you out to close it, it's not boring for them. They require this energy. It's like an addiction. Addiction means you would like to add and add and add, there's increasing, there's no decreasing. Or you go there, after half an hour you sit, "Oh God, too loud, let's go home." You will feel so discomforted because you have this other energy, you have other qualities. And when they will come to my lecture and sit here for a while, what does he speak about? Either they will be looking to watch when he will stop and we go, or some will just stand up and go. Because we all have our groups. Alcoholics have their alcoholic groups. The riders have their riding group. The, what they call, these golf players, they have their golf group. Swimmers have their swimmer group. Hikers have their hiking group. And yoga has its yogic group. Spirituality has its spiritual group. So the heart, the heart chakra, our anāhata chakra, which is longing for positive energy. Even one is going to those night restaurants or anywhere, it doesn't matter. They are not bad people; they are very good people. All are good, but habits are not good. Why are they going there? It was very nice; someone told there was. A conference about alcohol problems, and one said in his lecture, "Those who have alcohol problems, for example, or any drugs or something like this, the most dangerous, biggest drug is alcohol." You know how many people die every day on the road. How many families are destroyed. How many children are unhappy because the parents are fighting. So he said, "Don't tell them not to drink, but ask them why they drink." And mostly, people begin to drink because they are unhappy. And they try to replace their unhappy love. Love means not only husband and wife. Many unhappy jobs can be anything. They try to replace this. Once I was traveling through an airplane going to India, and one man was so much drunken, and he came to me, and he saw me, and he stopped, and he was Indian, you know. And he said, "Swāmījī, Swāmījī, Swāmījī." He had a bottle of alcohol in his hand. He put it away. And he sat near and he held my legs. Please don't be angry with me. I said, "Why? I will not be angry. Swamiji, I have some problem." And when I drink, I forget that problem. I'm only drinking to forget that. Can you imagine? How many people have such problems? So this was the only example of alcohol. So don't tell them not to do, but why you are doing. And if you ask someone and someone tells you, now, what are you going to do? Then try to help that person psychologically with your power, your wisdom, your human qualities. Yes, that will help the person understand love, which comes from our heart chakra. Meditation on the heart: I'm human. What makes me human? Which qualities of the human? What does it mean for me to be a human? And what is my job in this world? Helping hands have more value than just folding them and saying, "Sorry, I can't help you." Yes, you are correct that you can't help, but you can do one thing: telephone or call someone to help this person. That's it. We do care. Don't say... It's not my coffee, it's not my problem. Humans are born to help, not to destroy, not to break, to build up. So, prāṇa body, prāṇa, prāṇa, that is filtering everything, that's creating the beauty. This lamp is good, cleaned, and we see the bulb. And the light inside is bright. If it is very dusty, then the light will not be so bright. So when we have negative qualities, then our prāṇa Vijñāna is like a fog through which you can't see, smoke through which you can't see. And then it's the intellectual body, vijñāna māyā kośa. Vijñāna means your knowledge, your intellect, your wisdom. Yes, you are capable to help, you are capable to understand, and that's what I say, a promise is a promise, help. Sometimes it's not good to help directly, I tell you. There's one little story. Do you like to have a story? This is a story between one bird and a monkey. There are some little birds. They make such a beautiful nest. I don't know if these birds are in England. In Africa you can see them, in India you can see many, many. And they make such a beautiful nest. It looks like our cap. In winter time, children have, you know, like a mask like this, only this much open, and it's hanging very, very... it's beautiful. Many people get from there, and they have it in their decoration in their home. Ornamental, when it's raining, not one drop of water goes in. It doesn't matter how strong it rains. It's like this, hanging. Then she has here to fly in that nice door. And when strong wind is, it doesn't fall down. It's swinging, enjoying like a swing. And she goes from down up inside. It doesn't matter how strong the wind is, inside is very peaceful, very cold. Inside is nice and warm, very hot. Inside is nice and cool. Next time, I should make a nice photo for my lectures with the birds, and she has her eggs inside, always. The nest, that kind of nest of that bird, is on a very tiny branch of the tree. Why? Because other creatures, like a snake, cannot come there and eat the egg, because the branch is very flexible and he will fall down. The crow cannot sit on it. It is because it falls down. You see, animals also have such an intellect. That bird has no hands, only two legs and a beak. How beautifully it is done, this is unbelievable. You can sit for hours and hours to see how she is making it. So, one day, there was a heavy rain. And very cold wind and cold, and it was near flood, and under the tree there was sitting a big monkey, very cold like this, and a bird was sitting and enjoying her nest house. And the bird felt pity. Look, not only humans, the bird felt very pity, and Bird thought, "I should give some instruction to my brother monkey." Now you see how your kindness, love, goes to someone. You try to help someone, but that one is a monkey-minded. You don't know how we react, so helping must not be directly. Face to face, but you can help through your meditation, through your positive thoughts, through your prayers. So there was sitting one man, maybe, who made a poem on this story, and that poem is in our children's story books. In the schools, the bird said to the monkey, "My dear brother monkey, you look nearly like a human." You have two legs, two hands, a nice head, and this and everything, such a big body. Why don't you make a little house or something for yourself, so that in such weather you can protect yourself and not suffer? Look, I'm a very small little bird. I have no hands, just two legs and a beak, that's all. And I built such a nice nest, and I'm protected from it in every weather. The monkey was, and look up to that bird. The monkey did his best to jump. And take the nest and destroy the nest, and throw it and say, "Here you are, the person who was looking." Give the advice to them, those who can digest your advice and accept your advice. Otherwise, while giving advice to the monkey, the bird lost its nest. So many times, people are not capable of understanding you. And therefore, our vijñānamaya kośa, the body, that body which has the knowledge there, the wisdom, that vijñānamaya kośa. And after that comes the fifth one, that's called ānandamaya kośa. Ānanda means bliss, happiness. But here, ānanda means our causal body. And the causal body means the body of our desires. 99% of problems in our life are there because of our desires. Our intellect is not capable, or our inner willpower has no strength to say no to ourself. And we know this will cause me unhappiness one day. The joy of that joy is less in joy than the sorrow of that joy. And therefore, the ānandamaya kośa means that through your vijñānamaya kośa, you master your ānandamaya kośa. Don't suffer for that. That's it. So these are the hidden powers in humans which are located in different chakras. And these chakras, which we see here, the main chakras, they are connected to certain organs of the body. And these organs are very, very important organs of the body. It is the decision of life or death if these organs are influenced or attacked by negative energy. And now, clearly, you can see who has which kind of disease; it must be connected to some of the chakras, some of these organs. And these chakras, or these organs, have a direct relation to the different fields of our life, different areas of our life, and different interests of our life. So, through our practice, our meditations, our yoga exercises, and reading the words of the great masters and holy books, that will keep our energy purifying. Constantly, there is a movement of the energy, like in the water, a deep lake. It has itself a movement, filtering, taking oxygen. The lake is also breathing. And similarly, our aura is constantly moving with our one selfish thought, with our one desire, with our one stupidity, with our one greediness, or with our one laziness. We can destroy many things first within ourselves. And that destructive energy, which is within us, will destroy many, many things. So, hidden powers in humans should be realized, contemplated, and practiced. Everything that you are doing, I am sure you are doing very well. But if you do it more consciously, then there will be a different effect. So, chakra, there are different chakras. If I talk now about every chakra, then it will be a very long time. So, out of the 72,000 nāḍīs through which the cosmic energy is flowing, please, can you show me the nāḍī pictures? Now, these are not 72,000; they are only the major nāḍīs here. But out of all these major nāḍīs, three are very important. They are connected to the left and right nostril and the central nāḍī, which are all these three that go through our spine and are connected very closely to the brain and to all the functions of the brain, body, consciousness, and everything. These nāḍīs, when they pass through the body and connect with many, many thousands of branches of other nāḍīs, but the main nāḍīs which are supplying this consciousness and energy are three. The place above, picture, thank you, and so. Here, now you see these are the three nāḍīs. The one in the middle is called the central nerve, suṣumnā, the consciousness. The red one is our intellect, and the blue one is our emotion. So, being only emotional is also very dangerous. And only to be intellectual is also very dangerous, so nature has balanced within our body. So these nāḍīs are moving; they are streaming—stream of the energies—always like a serpent, moving, coming, uniting, moving. And where they come together, crossing, the crossway or the junction, there are the main chakras, which have great meanings. So from the top we see Sahasrāra Chakra, Ājñā Chakra near the eyebrow centers, Viśuddhi Chakra, Anāhata Chakra near the navel, Maṇipūra Chakra, then the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra and Maṇipūra. Chakra, Mūlādhāra Chakra. All these chakras, which you will read about in this book in more detail, will inform you, as well as meditation, how to purify these chakras and how to master the energy. Not that to awake the energy, first master the energy. And so it influences all these chakras. And then finally, our aim is to come to the superconsciousness. So energy is called Prakṛti, and consciousness is called Puruṣa, the nature and the conscious. So in our body, we have both. We have feminine energy tendencies as well as masculine tendencies. Both feminine and masculine are in our body. It doesn't matter if you are a female or a male. And it is like that the male has more attraction towards the female power, energy, and the female has more attraction to the male energy. There are some which have no balance between the two.
