Soul Desire

By



The mind and the physical brain control the human body and are controlled by the desire of the soul. What does a soul desire?
Just close your eyes and observe for two minutes what is going on inside the brain. You will find so many thoughts running inside — children, family, spouse, business, emotions. These thoughts indicate the desire of the soul and it is because of these thoughts or desires that you are unable to go beyond the human existence and are unable to find peace and happiness. All that is physical is temporary and what is temporary is painful. When the mind is engaged in thoughts of the physical, it cannot think of anything beyond it, because at one point of time, it can only do and think of one thing. Even Ayurveda says that of the five senses, only one is active at one time.
Words like ekagrata, ek tatva nirsantar abhyas, bhumadhya etc all indicate the path to success as a one-pointed focus. Sanatan Kriya details this. The problem starts when our desires divide. Multiplicity of desires leads to ambiguity. It is like putting five litres of petrol you have in five different cars — none of them will move forward by much.
We have come to prithviloka from other lokas (dimensions). When we were sent here, a chip was fitted at the center of our forehead (agya chakra) and we were given the software to activate this chip — Om. When you go to agya and chant Om, a signal is sent to where we have come from that we want to come back and so He sends for us. But we need to first overcome other energy centres of the body and only then we can access agya. This path can only be shown by your guru. It is one thing to know Sanskrit, but another to be able to chant the right way, in the absence of which the language of the gods becomes ineffective.

MERGER OF SHIV AND SHAKTI

By
Shiv is the doer and may be likened to a vehicle. If you remove ‘i’ from Shiv, it becomes ‘shav’ (corpse). The ‘i’ represents Shakti, which is the fuel that energises this vehicle to perform action. Shakti is the force of the physical world. Shivratri is the night of merger of Shiv and Shakti making a complete whole. Shiv and Shakti pertain to manifest creation and arise from the unmanifest. The journey back to the unmanifest can be carved only through their complete merger which is the ultimate purpose of yoga and Sanatan Kriya . A practical example of merger of Shiv and Shakti is the institution of marriage where the merger of male and female leads to manifestation of a new life. If there is a mismatch in this merger of male and female, or Shiv and Shakti, the marriage remains incomplete. This imbalance is evident in the progeny who will exhibit anti-social and undesirable behaviour and traits. The rishis of yesteryear explained how incompleteness sets into the child in t...
