Guest guest Posted April 11, 1999 Report Share Posted April 11, 1999 >From The Sky of The heart; Jewels of Wisdom From Nityananda: Sutra 14 Yes, Pilgrim, Shiva is in Kashi, the ancient City of Light. But Kashi is the sky of the heart. The mind is Kashi, everything is Kashi, The eternal Self is Kashi--and it is in the head. The ten sounds are eternal. Find the subtle Kashi in the silence of the mind. The city of Haridwar is the body's nine gates. It is in the sky of the heart. The heart is the seat of peace. Perform yajna, the ritual sacrifice, and awaken the inner fire of kundalini. Taste the nectar of spiritual wisdom. The only effective pilgrimage is the Inner journey!* The cities of Kashi and Haridwar were both popular places of pilgrimage for devout Hindus wishing to be freed of sin. However, Nityananda asserts that the only truly effective pilgrimage is the inner journey. The nine gates of Haridwar refer to the chakras, while the ritual sacrifice (yajna) is the awakening of the inner fire of kundalini which brings the experience of supreme happiness.
