God is the weaver of chakras

The most beautiful thing in the human phenomenon is the journey of consciousness and the capacity for liberation. Every entity is connected to cosmic light, but only humans can realize and transmit this awakened power. The guru is any who impart knowledge, removing the darkness of ignorance. One must remain faithful to this guidance, as disobedience leads to accidents both on the road and in spiritual life. The inner garden of consciousness blossoms through devotion; without love, the spirit withers. Lasting happiness is found not in others' love, which turns, but within the divine inner self. The human body is a divinely woven temple, a perfect creation to be honored, not destroyed by vice or superficiality. True beauty is of the heart, not the eyes.

"Lead us from darkness to light. That is the work of the Master."

"The body is your real house. It is the temple of your spirit."

We are on the chapter from the book Hidden Powers in Humans, where we speak of the most beautiful things that exist in the phenomenon of the human being: the journey through the astral world, the transition through different levels of consciousness, experiences in this physical and astral world, and spiritual experiences—those spiritual experiences which are not spiritual. Each and every creature is the light of God. Each and every entity is connected to the Cosmic Mother. That cosmic light, cosmic energy, cosmic consciousness dwells in every entity. But humans are different. Humans can realize this, and humans can liberate themselves. Humans can transfer this power to others if they have realized it, if they have awakened those energies within themselves. That is the most beautiful thing that exists in humans. Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya. Lead us from darkness to light. Lead us from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. That is the work of the Master, what we call Guru and you call Master. There are many different Gurus. Even your car driver, who teaches you how to drive, is your driving Guru. Vaš učitelj vožnje je vaš guru vožnje. Your driving guru can save your life and the lives of others. On može spasiti Vaš život i živote drugih. Any profession you learn from someone, that person is your guru. Sve ono što naučite od nekoga, taj je bio vaš guru. Your swimming guru, riding guru, biking guru, skiing guru. One koje Vas je naučio skijati, plivati. Therefore, I must smile many times when Western newspapers write about "Guru." It means they do not understand. They are writing about themselves. A journalist is a guru. A journalist's writing should lead people to freedom, liberation, and happiness. You put your wisdom in the newspaper. Your writing should not frighten people. Your writing should not make people dependent. Vaše pisanje ne bi trebalo ljude činiti ovisnima. Your writing should not confuse people. Vaše pisanje ne bi trebalo zbunjivati ljude. But your writing should create in them confidence, faith, love, and trust. Ono bi u njima trebalo pobuditi ljubav, vjeru i vjerovanje. Your writing is like a Guru Vākya. A spiritual writer always writes spiritually. Such spiritual articles, people cut out from newspapers and keep at home. Many books have been written, but rare are the holy books. Krishna did not write the Bhagavad Gītā, God Rāma did not write the Rāmāyaṇa, and Jesus did not write the Bible. It is the people who wrote afterward, and these are the books we adore. It is said that when you hold your pen in your hand, it is no longer in your power. It is that Mother Saraswatī; she is the Lord of Wisdom, and Vidhātā, the Goddess of Destiny. As without a will, your pen will move, and that comes out in your writing. Therefore, whenever you write, pray to the Lord God and Saraswatī for her blessing. If you do not worship Saraswatī, your writing will be funny. When a student goes to write their examinations, they should pray to Saraswatī. There is a special prayer and a mantra for Saraswatī. Try it, young students; your test, your writing, your examination will be the best. But not only on the day of the examination—every day, every day. So, wisdom, the one who gives you knowledge, is the guru. They remove the darkness of ignorance. And you should be faithful for life. On the day you do not follow your guru, on the day you do not follow your driving guru, an accident will happen. Your driving teacher did not tell you to drink and drive. Vaš učitelj vožnje vam nije rekao da pijete i vozite. And how many accidents happen on the road? People drink alcohol and drive, and how many accidents. I koliko se samo nesreća događa na putu zato što ljudi piju alkohol i voze. Your driving guru did not tell you to drive as quickly as you can. Isto tako, nije vam rekao da vozite što brže što možete. But he told you, "Follow the road’s rules." Rekao vam je da slijedite pravila na cesti. Your driving guru did not say to overtake anywhere. If you overtake anywhere on any curve, an invisible curve, accidents will happen. So it is the same principle: what is in this material world, in the astral world, in the spiritual world, and so on. So we are there in the beauty, the beauty of human consciousness. In the most beautiful garden, where there are many different beautiful flowers. In the most beautiful garden, where there are the most beautiful flowers. And you are that bee which is taking nectar from every blossom. And these blossoms are opened; they are blossomed through the love of bhakti, devotion. When there is no devotion, your spiritual garden will dry out. Where there is no love, the sense of life is finished. When there is no love, then the human is lost: a lonely, unhappy, greedy, angry, jealous, and very dispirited person. Sam, pohlepan, ljud, očajna osoba. And that love, that contentment, that happiness is a universal principle. And that is within you. If you think the love of others will make you happy, forget it. The love which makes you happy today will one day make you unhappy. And you yourself, who make it so that you make someone happy today, one day you will be the cause of his or her tears. And you have to pay back each tear of hers or his. The one tear you have to pay with a thousand tears sooner or later. Evidence never dies. Justice will be justice. That is why, therefore, dwell your consciousness within the beauty of your inner garden. Then you will be happy forever. When you are within thyself, in this beautiful garden, the divine garden, then your inner self is singing beautiful songs. How happy you are! You are intoxicated with Divine Love, Divine Intoxication, Bhakti, Devotion, Love, Friendliness, Freedom, Understanding, Forgiveness. If you forgive someone, first you have forgiven yourself. If you are merciful to someone, first you are merciful to thyself. One who is dwelling within one’s Self has purified the antaḥkaraṇa, malabuddhi, and malavikṣepaṇāvaraṇa—the antaḥkaraṇa, manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—and has opened all the cakras, is constantly moving in this beauty, the inner beauty. Every chakra has its beauty, but you have to understand, you have to follow the discipline. It does not mean you can do whatever you want, and it is not so easy to open the cakras. It sounds good, but it is hard work. Rare are those who can open the centers. Bhakti devotion, the devotion, the devotion. Now we are in the Manipūra Chakra, the center of the digestive fire, the solar plexus, the prāṇa śakti, the hara power, the life forces. The first milestone in this life. Where the manifestation of this physical body began. During the nine months in the mother’s body, this jīvātmā had to go through many, many processes, many experiences. Many evidences have to be written, many documents have to be cleared up, the karmic documents. That God, the destiny, Mother Nature gives you this beautiful body. Who takes care of you when you are in your mother’s womb? There is some divine energy, divine consciousness... If that Divine Mother, Divine Nature, or the Creator will not give you one eye, you will be born with one eye. No one can give you here the second eye. Or you are born with only one hand. No one can give you the second hand, as this right hand is. Though you were in a limited space, He measured everything exactly: the exact measurement of both legs, both hands, the measurement of the nose. If He had given the nose one meter long, you would be delivered. So you see, therefore, Devpurījī said, God takes upon Himself the destiny of the devotees. We cannot be thankful enough to that One. You are proud of your body. You look in the mirror every day and think you are the most beautiful one in the world. But do you know who gave you this beauty? God. Mother Nature, did you ever thank Him? Did you ever say to Mother God, "Thank you for this beautiful body?" The great saint Kabīrdās Jī is writing a beautiful spiritual song. Yesterday, I explained to you already. He, symbolically, said this body is like the soul’s cloth. It is a very fine, very gentle, very fragile thing, to break this glass or this body. The body is the same thing. It does not take time. Aṣṭakamala Cakra Banāyā—Aṣṭakamala, eight cakras in the body, eight lotus. Aṣṭakamala Cakra Banāyā. He made the spinning wheel with the eight chakras. So it means first were the chakras, then the body. Because chakras are the psychic centers. Pañca tattvakī puni, and these five elements, five tattvas. This is the material in the body. The body is made out of five elements, and the weaver is God, and He tuned this with the chakras. Aṣṭakamālaka Cakra Banāyā Pāñca Tatvakī Puni Navadāsa Masa Bunanko Lagā. It took nine to ten months to weave this cloth. Trebalo je devet mjeseci da se istka ovaj šal, this body. Everything: the skin, hair, flesh, nerves, blood, bones, organs, glands, brain, heart, digestive system. All functions in the body. The perfect, heavenly engineer, heavenly architect, within nine to ten months. What a beautiful body. Now. This mass, Bunankulaga, took 9 to 10 months, Murk meli kini chadaryam, but a foolish one, he didn’t understand the body, he didn’t understand this fine art, cosmic art, and destroyed this body with drugs, alcohol, and many different things, negative thinking, anger, jealousy. You know what it means to have this body? It is your real house. It is the temple of your spirit. If there is a God in the universe, then He is in your heart. Know thyself. You know what it means to have this body? This evening, before going to sleep, look in the mirror, open your eyes, and say, "My God, beautiful love, I don’t need any more smacking. What is smacking?" I need no more; the makeup of God has makeup only. Therefore, these are the universal principles, and no one has copyright. For your beauty, no one has copyright. For your ears, no one has copyright. And for your nose, no one has copyright. If you have a thick nose, a long nose, an up nose, or a down nose. Anyhow, that’s the beauty of the creatures. Every creature is beautiful. It depends on what you mean by beauty. That is it. Is this beauty only for your eyes? Or is it beauty for your heart? That’s it. The beauty for the eyes is only surface. But the beauty of the eye, that’s love. Who is searching beauty for the eyes only? That foolish one did not understand God. It does not matter how long you meditate, how many mantras you are doing with both hands, "Gurujī, Gurujī," or how much you teach yoga and sit in the front of all and say, "I am a yoga teacher." To teach yoga is something beautiful. To be a teacher is something divine, but you have to be divine to teach. Lucky are they from whom the wisdom comes. Guru Kṛpā is coming; otherwise, as soon as ego will come, it will not be any more than that. It is not that you make postures, it is not that you can make a netī and naulī and this and that, no. We need your beauty, the beauty of your words, the beauty of your wisdom. We do not need the beauty of your body. Today, you are like a bodybuilder. And after 60 years, 70 years, you will walk like you are searching for something. People will ask, "What are you searching?" Because I was walking like this, and now I have to walk like that. Therefore, yoga is not this, what you call. Die within thyself.
