Chakra-s and Brahmacharya
Question
Dear Guruji,
Please explain and evaluate the different chakra-s and their relationship with brahmacharya.
Answer
1. The seven Chakra-s are the representation of the levels through which consciousness passes, on its way back from identification with the non-self, into itself. These are denoted by the confluence of Nadi-s (astral energy channels).
2. Through proper transmutation of the vital energy via Brahmacharya to realize the self, the conserved Prana awakens Kundalini, which then ascends and purifies the physical, astral and causal mediums. The chakra-s are correspondingly purified, stage by stage, depending on the intensity & continuity of practice.
There is no need to ponder much about the process involved, as it is automatic, occurring all by itself, in case of the Yogi applying the required methods, as described earlier. Mere, theoretical knowledge about the details are of no use and rather become a distraction. Direct knowledge from experience will dawn by itself, through diligent practice, to the honest Yogi, who surrenders to God & performs Sadhana in an unbroken manner.
When this much is done, individual consciousness gradually dissociates from the non-self, to eventually merge into the universal consciousness irreversibly, which is the state called 'Kaivalya' (self-realization).
