Sri Maha-padmatavi-samstha

— Dwells in the Great Lotus Forest.

 

Sri Lalita Sahasranama

C. S. Murthy, Associate Advertisers and Printers, 1989.

 

The Lalita Sahasranama says: " Salutations to Her (Shakti) who sends

stream of nectar from the transcendent moon in the Sahasrara (Great

Lotus Forest). " The Shiva Samhita says: `The Sahasrara is the

thousand petaled lotus in the Brahmananda. In its center is the

region of the moon and a triangle which continuously showers nectar.

This moon nectar, which grants immortality, flows in continuous

stream… " The ultimate goal of every sadhaka is to attain the

liberation in the thousand – petaled lotus of the Sahasrara at the

crown of the head.

 

In the 7th (Sahasrara) Chakra the whole instrument is integrated.

Each Chakra has its place here. At the point of the Sahasrara we go

beyond the relative, to the Absolute, and into the Absolute

realization of Heaven on Earth. This is a country far beyond our

wildest imaginings, so much more than our words can even begin to

imply. This is our ultimate destination, stretching out forever. Our

progress toward this goal is a living process. When a seed matures it

naturally sprouts. William Blake described it perfectly:

 

" Thou perceivest the flowers put forth their precious odours, and

none can tell how so small a center comes such sweets. Forgetting

that within that center eternity expands. "

 

When the Kundalini reaches the Sahasrara, the lotus petals open and

enlightenment takes place (samadhi). You may feel a powerful

pulsation in the crown of the head, followed by a melting sensation

and a flow of cool vibrations from the fontanel area. This is the

baptism by which you know that you are truly born again.

 

Vibratory awareness begins at this point. As the Kundalini unites our

individual consciousness to the universal consciousness, we are

suddenly tuned in to the universal wavelength of vibrations. These

vibrations pervade the cosmos, but before realization, while we are

still in the egg form, we know nothing of them. When the Kundalini

breaks the shell of the egg, we emerge into God's Kingdom, the

collective unconscious. At this point we are singing the song of the

unconscious, the vibrations are playing through the instrument that

we have become.

 

As human awareness is united to the Divine, we move into the subtlest

level of communication, into collective consciousness. In becoming

vessels for that universal power we become one with all the other

vessels. We learn to appreciate the real depth and beauty of another

person in vibrations. The beauty of art and nature now manifest

themselves as vibrations. Just ask the question and a positive answer

comes as a flow of cool vibrations. It is conversation at its most

sublime.

 

When our Kundalini is awakened, our eternal Spirit is enlightened and

we feel vibrations. We also can awaken the Kundalini of others after

our own awakening. We can give Self-Realization to others, we can

cure sickness and we can share the message of Divine Love with the

entire world. Lord Jesus said, " I will send you a Comforter, a

Counselor and a Redeemer, The Holy Spirit, who will teach you all

things. "

 

When human consciousness tunes into the infinite, it becomes

infinite. Enlightenment develops spontaneously. The sages have sung

the praises of this space and have described it poetically as the

union between the lover and his beloved. The Buddha called it the

Void, Mahavira termed it Nirvana, the Vedas called it Moksha, and the

Christ referred to it as the Kingdom of Heaven. Shri Mataji describes

it thus: " The limited capacity of the brain becomes unlimited in its

capacity to realize God. If you are the sun and the sunlight, if you

are the moon and the moonlight, where is duality? Only when there is

separation there is duality and because of that separation you feel

attachment... a distance between you and yours; that's why we get

attached to it. Everything is we; who is the other? When the brain

has lost its identity, the so called limited brain becomes the

unlimited Spirit. "

 

Those who have such pre-ordained destiny, come to meet the True Inner

Guru.

 

After all their reading, the Pandits, the religious scholars, and the

astrologers argue and debate.

Their intellect and understanding are perverted; They just don't

understand.

They are filled with greed and corruption.

Through 8.4 million incarnations they wander, lost and confused;

Through all their wandering and roaming, they are ruined.

They act according to their pre-ordained destiny, which no one can

erase.

It is very difficult to serve the True Inner Guru.

Surrender your head; give up your selfishness.

Realizing the Shabad, one meets with the Lord, and all one's service

is accepted.

By personally experiencing the Personality of the Inner Guru,

One's own personality is uplifted, and one's light merges into the

Light. Those who have such pre-ordained destiny, come to meet the

True Inner Guru.

O mind, don't cry out that you are hungry, always hungry; stop

complaining.

The One who created the 8.4 million species of beings, gives

sustenance to all.

The Fearless Lord is forever Merciful; She takes care of all.

O Nanak, the Gurmukh understands, and finds the Door of Liberation.

Those who hear and believe, find the home of the self deep within.

Through the Inner Guru's Teachings, they praise the True Lord;

They find the Lord, the Treasure of Excellence.
