ABILITIES OF THE SIX CHAKRAS

ABILITIES OF THE SIX CHAKRAS

Now another aspect of six chakras . So another lesson is completed .We starting

a short lesson on six chakras . For a true practitioner of yoga , the six

chakras externalize six different abilities that work in life . A great ability

called  “Iravatha†works throught the Base-Chakra . It gives him patience,

continuity of purpose . This is the thing, which is most deficient in an average

Indian . So continuity of purpose is most important . What does it mean ? Doing

the same thing, what we are doing today, even after ten years . Some good things

– one or two things should be there in our life which we will be doing

continuously . Survival through arts, hope and faith in humanity at large . This

great ability of the base chakra gives us further forbearance, transcending the

dangers and standing above them, theism and hope . (Here Master has clarified

that hope is different from desire). Some people think that theism means belief

in God . No, that is

not correct . Theism means the confidence that we can live in the world and we

can live happily .As regards the belief in God, God is there for those who feel

Him and He is not there for those who do not feel Him . Even if God is there in

an temple or a church, He can do nothing for us , if we do not feel Him.

Theistic attitude causes in us,faith in the goodness of other human beings who

are our brothers . These qualities are almost covered in the Golden stairs . The

ability of the base-chakra is symbolically described as  “the brilliant

elephantâ€, the vehicle of the “Lord of senses†.(Indra)  . I think many

of you might have read the biography of  Lord Buddha . It was written in

English  also, by a glorious poet called Edwin Arnold . He has written three

glorious books .

1.The translation of Bhagavadgita called “ The Song Celestial†. This is a

very, very glorious translation in English

2.The life or biography of Buddha called “The light of Asiaâ€.

3.The biography of Christ called “ The Light of the Worldâ€.Thus, inspite of

his great knowledge and equality, he could not but be a christian . He called

Buddha only “Light of Asia†. He called Christ “The Light of the Worldâ€

.. Poor fellow, he could not escape the clutches of the Church . But he is a

great light, wonderful fellow who has seen the truth, who tasted the truth and

who led the truth . He is a noble soul, no doubt . All the three are very, very

glorious books. In Sanskrit, there is the original book called “Buddha

Charithaâ€,written by Aswaghosha . Edwin Arnold translated it  . His is a very

wonderful translation . Nobody can  translate like him , how much effort is put

forth . You can come across the “brilliant elephant†in this book . The day

onwhich Buddha was coming into the mother’s womb, that, when fertilization

took place, she saw in a dream a big brilliant in a six-pointed star . In her

dream, that elephant came

and approached her with great brilliance and entered into her body and stayed

there . That is what she has got . That elephant is there in all of us ,

everyone of us, but unfortunately imprisoned in the tail. Vertebral column

..(Laugh). The elephant is imprisoned in tail .

 

 

The second one, Swadisthana makes another great ability work . ………
