Man in his search for joy is running away from the truth that the source of joy lies in his Self. Human beings seek joy in money and/or in possessions, in power or in limited human love and ultimately in religion, which is also practised on the outside. This is the reason why there are different religions and all the conflicts. The problem is how to turn one’s attention inward towards the self, to know the reality, the totality.
The truth is that we are not this body, mind, intellect or emotions but we are the Spirit. The other truth is that there is an all-pervading power of Divine Love, Bramhachaitanya, which oes all the living work. The working of this power is so automatic, dynamic, expansive, but silent that we take it for granted. Unfortunately this power cannot be felt at a human level. One has to evolve into a higher awareness of the Spirit through a breakthrough by the evolutionary process. Of course, as scientists we have to keep our minds open and treat the above statement as a hypothesis for the present. If it is proved later, we have to accept it as honest seekers of truth because this is the only way all human problems can be solved. This is the knowledge of the roots, while our civilization has grown outside like a tree. Hence our science is not complete. This innate knowledge comes from Indian saints and seers. Thus it is our precious heritage.
This all-pervading Divine power is reflected within us as a sleeping coiled energy called as Kundalini in our sacrum which is a triangular bone at the base of spinal cord. Perhaps the Greeks knew the sacredness of this power and that may be reason they called it a sacrum bone. The word Kundalini comes from ‘Kundal’ meaning coils. When Kundalini is awakened it passes through six higher centres and pierces through the fontanale bone area and connects our central nervous system to this all-pervading power giving us a new dimension of self-realisation. This is the first time we feel the Bramhachaitanya on our finger tips, as vibrations (spanda). That means we can feel this silent power on our central nervous system.
The unique discovery of modern times (Kali Yuga) is that the awakening of Kundalini can be done en-masse through Sahaja Yoga.
At the very outset, I have to say that the working of Sahaja Yoga is very simple, although the operation within is quite complicated. For example, if you want to watch a television programme it is very easy. But to explain the engineering, the technique of a television set is very difficult and complicated. It also needs a qualified engineer to understand and explain its working. I will try to explain the working of Kundalini in the simplest way, but please note that it is really complicated if you want to know it in detail.
The best way to enjoy television is first to switch it on and watch and then to understand its engineering. As a Mother I would say that I have done the cooking for you. Why should you worry as to how it is done? If you are hungry you should start eating. If you are not actually hungry but only inquisitive, what can I do? I cannot force you nor can I make you hungry by discussions or lecturing. I leave it to your wisdom and to your freedom to feel the longing from inside to have self-knowledge.
