Shankaram Siva Shankaram

 

Beyond the six chakras in this body, there is a seventh chakra. The first three chakras are male chakras, the next three are female chakras. People who practice yoga can understand this. Baba is speaking practically. Men lose themselves very easily in the petty pleasures of the world. Women exhibit a sense of poised control. Women have some initial difficulty in crossing the first three chakras. Men can climb these chakras easily. The fourth, fifth and sixth chakras are female chakras. This is where the Kundalini Shakthi is present. When women cross the third chakra, they can make a leap from the fourth chakra. Men cannot attain it so easily. That is why women are able to get into that Bhavam very easily.So much substance in this simple statement! It is easy to attain

God when you nurture feminine qualities. A person went to Sri Paramacharya and said, 'I am observing all rituals strictly and doing Govinda Upasana, but am not able to see Him yet'. Paramacharya laughed, 'Dress up in a saree, assume the character of a woman and pray to Him. You will attain Govinda very soon'. If you assume the Nayaka-Nayaki bhava, you will reach Govinda soon. This is not a subject for ridicule. Paramacharya looked upon God with that bhava. Nammazhwar sought God by imagining himself as His Nayaki. Thirumangai Azhwar assumed the NayakiBhava. Andal, being a girl, fitted very easily into the NayakiBhava. Did not Andal attain the Lord? All that Andal did was to look upon the Lord as her Husband and wear the garlands meant for Him. She did not seclude herself in the forest or do penance. She did not learn any mantras. She did nothing, except to Love. I pointed out a synchronization of thought between Vallalar and Andal. Vallalar says, 'there is a house with nine gates. The thieves bribe the watchman, find the way to enter, break the lock, extinguish the lamp and steal the sleeping child'. Vallalar cries, 'O Lord! Are You deaf that You cannot hear my wails of agony protesting against the theft? Are You not bound by any doctrines of Dharma (Justice)? The thieves of worldly desires have entered into the gates of my body by bribing the watchman called the mind, broke open the lock of knowledge, put out the light of Wisdom and have stolen the child called the Soul. O Lord! I am crying for You. Is it not reaching Your Ears?' He assumed the role of a child and pleaded with Nataraja to save his soul from being stolen by the worldly temptations. His stand was: 'The cradle is being robbed' - 'My soul is being burgled by the thieves

called illusion'.Andal also wept, She wept that the Lord was not stealing her bed. Vallalar cried that the cradle was being stolen, whereas Andal protested that her bed was not being stolen. Vallalar cried that the illusions (maya) of the world were stealing the soul, Andal was in remorse that the Lord of those illusions (Mayavan) was not stealing her. What a vast difference! One is trying to prevent the theft, whereas the other is yearning for the theft to happen. That is the bliss inlaid in the NayakiBhava. It will not exclude anything as not required. Take on the Lord as your Nayaka and crave for His attention like Andal did, like Meera did. Then you will very soon attain the Ultimate. The Paramaathma is The Only Male; all others are females.

Initially, the mind focuses on what it deems to be its own priorities rather than listen to your inner wisdom. You lose focus because the mind disturbs you with a thought that seems more important to it. Try to identify those thoughts – whether it is about your family or office or the world at large. Do not try to run away from that thought. Just witness it, allowing the mind to run its own course. How long can you keep harbouring a thought? The mind will soon get tired of its chase and become serene like the calm after a storm.

Every thought has a definite time limit and it does not linger beyond that time. All that you have to do is to continue watching it till it dies naturally. Then you will get the inner focus on whatever form you want because that is the only thing left. Just like when you eat the various delicacies on your plate, when you come to the last piece, it is only that which remains, so too, when you have finished with all your thoughts, what is left is the wisdom of God. But this process cannot come by force, it has to happen naturally. And then you will travel beyond thoughts, beyond thinking of God too. That is the true state

of bliss. Even the thought of God is subject to limitation. It means your mind is not totally tamed.

Do not be restless to go to that stage. Just allow things to take their own shape. There is nothing else to do. Nothing rests on your plans. All plans are ordained by God on the basis of your deeds in your previous births. Leave them to take their own course. Do not expect results immediately, and if you are wise enough, do not expect any results. It is only then you will see them happen.

If you seek something, it eludes you. Be detached and results will seek you!

I am not saying, 'Believe me only'. Go around and search among those whom you believe. Check who give you their unconditional love, who doesn't take money from you, etc. Whomsoever passes the test, hold on to him. Score them on ten points such as love, patience, wisdom, service, purity of thoughts and deeds, equal treatment of one and all, knowledge, capability and so on. Based on your assessment, stick to one path and don't get confused further. Follow the same path come what may, and follow the principles. Once you understand and choose a path, you should stick to it. After all you chose the path after examining the alternatives. Therefore there should be no room for confusion.
