Stress

“The common problem is the stress. Now why this stress is there, that also you should know. Ida and Pingla are two channels and they cross each other at optic chiasma. Pingla Nadi (Right sympathetic) creates ego balloon, Ida Nadi (Left sympathetic) creates super ego balloon (due to conditionings). When you are too right sided then ego moves and covers the left side, so there is a block, whatever problem you have it cannot pass out of your body. Then you become weaker and weaker. That is how you have stress.”

The Expression of Ida and Pingala is given through the Hamsa Chakra

We have never yet paid much attention to this center of Hamsa, which is, I think, very important for the Western world, rather than for the Indian or the Eastern. The reason is, at the Hamsa chakra, part of the Ida and Pingala come out and manifest - means the expression of Ida and Pingala is given through the Hamsa chakra. So this Hamsa chakra is the one that, as if has not gone up to the Agnya, but is holding on certain threads or certain parts of the Ida and Pingala. And they start flowing through your nose, expressing through your eyes, from your mouth and from your forehead. So you know that Vishuddhi chakra has got sixteen petals, which look after the eyes, nose, throat, tongue, teeth. But the expression part of it comes through the Hamsa chakra, of all these. So it’s a very, very important thing in a Western mind, to understand Hamsa chakra. There’s a beautiful couplet about this in Sanskrit, “Hansa kshveta ha, baka ha kshveta ha . ko bhedo hansa bakayo ho. Neera ksheera vivek e tu. Hansa ha hansaksh, baka ha baka ha.” Meaning ‘The crane and the swan, both are white. And what makes a difference between the two? If you mix the water and the milk together the hamsa (swan) will just suck in the milk. So it can discriminate between the water and the milk while the bakha, means the crane, cannot’. It’s a very significant thing for Sahaja Yogis to understand.

How Param Chaitanya worked within each of us!

" … It is like you have to accept a hypothesis that there exists an all pervading power above the human brain. This is the only Hypothesis. The human brain is in the form of a Pyramid. The Param Chaitanya or the all-pervading power is coming from all sides and striking the brain of a fetus (soon after its formation).

What actually happens is that, at the apex of this pyramidal brain, the Param Chaitanya passes unhindered and settles down the spine in the inverted Triangular bone area, at the base, in three and a half coils as the Kundalini Shakti. In the process it leaves its mark called the "Vacuum Channel" in the spine. Now the Param Chaitanya hitting the side s of the triangular brain has to permeate the Grey and the white matter. These have their own densities, and so governed by the physics Laws of Refraction, the Chaitanya refracts from left to right and from right to left. This is also called the Prismatic refraction effect. This phenomenon exists mostly for human brains and not so much in animals.

During the refraction process, the Human attention is pulled out to both the sides and is driven in the outward direction. Both the attention and the refracted Chaitanya cross at the Agnya Chakra from both the sides on their way out. As a result of this pull, an additional force called the resultant force is created. Now the theory of the Parallelogram of forces (of Physics) comes into play.

The resultant force is divided into two parts, each being at 90-degree angle to the other on both the left as well as the right side. The resultant force acts in the center of its two counterparts. One part creates the left and the right sympathetic Channel of the fetus by pushing its way down the body. The other part pushes its way out through the senses, dragging with it the Human attention both to the left and to the right. The second part is also known at the action in the outer world. From the outer world, this action brings back a reaction. (Another famous law of Physics) the path followed by the action and reaction is the same. On the left side this reaction builds one's Conditionings while on the right side it builds the Ego.

In short, our Chitta accompanied by the resultant Brahma -Chaitanya's living force went to the outer world, collected a reaction and brought back with it a conditioning from the left, thereby forming the Manasa or the mind. Both the action and reaction pass through both the Agnya and the Vishuddhi Chakras. The Chitta , being dispersed in nature, has the ability to flow from the whole body. The reaction of the left is the desire element, the potential of which gives birth to the Ida Nadi on the left Sympathetic Channel.


Similarly, the reaction of the right side is the action element, the potential of which forms the Pingla Nadi. The overflow of the Ida Nadi forms a balloon -like cloud at the back of the Agnya Chakra called the Super ego, while the overflow of the Pingla Nadi forms a similar cloud in front of the Agnya Chakra called the Ego. The Agnya remains directly in between these two balloons. The front of the Agnya is controlled by the Pituitary of the brain, while the back is controlled by the Pineal".

Four nadis of heart

“You know about these three nadis we have, Ida, Pingala, Sushumna, but in the heart there are four nadis, and the

one nadi goes to Mooladhara, and if you cross the limits of Mooladhara it goes to hell. That's why they say that Shiva is a destroyer”……..”

The second nadi, the second channel that can take you to destruction is desire. That's why Buddha has said that desirelessness is the only way that people do not get old, nor sick, nor worried.”……..”

Third nadi is the nadi by which we feel attached, attached to someone. Like this is my child; this is my husband; this is my family; this is my wife; this is my father; this is my mother. In the beginning of Sahaja Yoga of everyone, when they are just the beginners, so they talk about their whole family - my father is like this, my mother is sick, my mother's sister's brother's this, that's, real.. this thing is not well.”……”

Fourth one is the most important for all of us is to know that there is a nadi which passes through left Visshuddhi into the heart. Starts from the heart, goes up, passes through Agnya. It has four petals, opens up. This is the one which gives you the state which is called as 'thurya'.”….
