The Great Secret

Accessing your Guru means, you think of something and your Guru does it for you. No matter what that is. A Guru is ready to do anything for the shishya, but you need to have that connection, dedication and attraction that he cannot refuse you, even if it is something as frivolous as guarding your body. There are only two ways to access your Guru, bhakti – that nothing else exists for you or shakti – if you tie your Guru with shakti, he will get tied. You need to decide which category you fall in and then walk just that path.
But whatever you get, whether it is Guru’s shakti or bhakti, you will try to put it on display and show others how much ability you have. That is the time to exercise control and focus on just your path, otherwise you will get carried away. The shakti of bhakti and your own shakti, both are there only to light up the path for you, so that you pick up some speed and instead of 5 seconds you reach in one second. The path is just one.
People tell me they want to do yog but when I ask them if they are following the five yamas, they start looking here and there. You are at A and you have to reach B, the path is very small, all you need is to access your Guru. You can go straight and reach in five seconds or you can take zigzag routes of curing illness, mending relationships, to learn and understand, etc - for even a hundred years and still not make it. And you will take birth again on the route you had left and again keep wandering and again you will not reach your destination. I never asked for solutions from my teachers or my Guru, I never judged them, nor assessed them. I simply tried to access them completely in every aspect that they taught me. I know what I want and I want it completely, not even partially, because I just want that, nothing else. Unless you have this intensity, you will just keep going in circles searching for solution to your problems.
All your problems, big or small, are a result of your karmas. Your Guru has the capacity to remove those problems, but then you are taking your Guru as a means to solve your physical problems and wasting the phenomenal force that you have access to.

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...

Chakra Beej Kriya: Part 1

By
Yog is not about twisting and turning yourself into knots and complicated postures, yog taps into the power of consciousness. As you practice yog in totality, as prescribed, you start glowing and the immunity of the body heightens, slowly you begin to exude the glow of the sun. The body that we greet in the mirror everyday is run by a higher force, which is invisible to the naked eye but very clearly visible to a clairvoyant in the form of colours and to a clairaudient in the form of specific sounds. These colours and sounds correspond to certain energy centers in the body, which control and govern various body parts and functions. Much before you identify symptoms of a disease or ailment and decide to visit a doctor, these symptoms are perceived by a yogic practitioner in the form of change in colour, texture, size and sound of various chakras. Sanatan Kriya prescribes various techniques under the topic of self-healing to access this invisible sheath of the body and through...
