“Somebody came and asked me, Swamiji why in all graveyards the date of…”

Somebody came and asked me, Swamiji why in all graveyards the date of birth and date of demise is mentioned? Born date, died date? I told them, nothing worth mentioning happens in between. In most of our life nothing worth mentioning, happens in between, birth and death over. That is why nothing else could be mentioned. Ninety percent of our life, ninety percent of us use our system only as a bullock cart. And few, very few use their system as a tractor. People who have become poets, dancers, artist, whomsoever has gone to their next dimension, if you use your system just for basic comforts, you are using it as a bullock cart.

If you go to next dimension, dimension of the heart - a real dancer, a real poet, a real artist, a real architect. These people they use their system as a, tractor. A Tagore, Van Gogh, Ravi Varma, these are the few guys who have used their system as a tractor, even if they don’t live in riches, they live with a satisfaction. If you are a real poet, if you are a real creator you use your system as a tractor. Second level, then very few are the people who use their system totally. A Buddha, a Krishna, a Mahavira, a Jesus, Zarathustra. These are the few who became enlightened. Those enlightened masters are the few who use their system as a aircraft.

Aircraft is created to be used as a aircraft, not to be used as a bullock cart. Of course, if it is used as a bullock cart, it is a very safe. You’ll never get accidents. You'll never get into trouble. That is true. But aircraft is not mentioned to be used as a bullock cart. Ship is very safe in the port, but it is not meant to be in the port itself. Ship is not created to stay in the port, even though it is safe in the port. Most of the time we don't use our being totally. When the aircraft becomes aircraft, when the aircraft is used as aircraft, only then the self of the aircraft is actualized. What for it is created it is actualized it is realized.

The aircraft realizes itself when it is used as aircraft. If it is used as a bullock cart, or as a tractor, it never reaches the realization. It never gets the actualization. So I tell you when you use your totality, when you use your whole being, only then you use your whole system. Only then, you actualize yourself, you realize yourself. What is the difference between the tribal people and the pilot? Hmm? Knowledge, wisdom, just wisdom. The tribal people doesn’t know how to operate the gears or the mechanisms of aircraft, pilot knows. Now, we will learn gears and mechanisms of your being, your body.

Once a man knows the gears and mechanisms of his being, instead of using the system as a bullock cart, he starts using as a aircraft. If you don't know, you use it as a, bullock cart. Once you learn, once you know, you use it as a aircraft. If you use it as a bullock cart you're a Bhudu if you use it as a aircraft you're a Buddha. If you use it as a bullock cart, you’re Shava, if you use it as a aircraft you're Shiva. Hmm?

[00:Participant]: “But there is a question, there are still people who are using it as a tractor…..they are still using it as a tractor”.

Ah you see yesterday what I said that context is different, and today what I say the context is different there are few who used as a tractor, but I always find people who have come to the tractor level, they somehow manage to reach the aircraft level. But the tractor are very few exemption. We always think we are also tractor, even though we are bullock cart. We somehow want to console ourself, but never, never console yourself. Of course yesterday’s context context is different, here context is different. Here to explain the story I have used the context. Either Bhudhu or Buddha. Either Shiva or Shava, either Muruga or Murkh, that's all. So use your system, totally. Use your system, ultimately. When you know how to operate your mechanisms, or your gears or the systems which is in your sy - in your being, you can use the system ultimately. You can use the aircraft to fly.

The gears and mechanisms in your body in your system only I call it as energy centers or chakras. They are the energy centers. There's a different energy centers in your body which controls your physical, mental, spiritual, psychological, emotional, activities. It controls all your activities. Once you know how to handle the chakras, how to handle the energy centers, automatically you use your system as a aircraft. If you know how to use your emotions, you open the energy centers. If you abuse your emotions, you lock the energy centers, that's all. Every emotion is related to some one energy center. Energy center is not physical, it is metaphysical. The chakras or the energy centers which you have inside your system are more metaphysical.

There are mentioning of energy centers different energy centers from the root of the spine to the top of the head. There are seven energy centers. The lowest is called Muladhara. You don't have to remember the names. I'll just tell you, there is no need to remember. The lower is called Muladhara. Second is Swadhisthana. Third is Manipuraka. Fourth is Anahata. Fifth is Vishuddhi. Sixth between the eyebrows is Ajna. Seventh is Sahasrara. Every emotion is related to some one chakra. I think now you can listen, later on you can see the book, now you can listen. Every emotion is related to some one chakra. Let you understand few things.

For example heart, heart chakra is related to emotion, love. You may ask how, how to prove. Around the world, in all the culture in all the language, you can see the expression, the heart and love, these two words are used as synonymous. Heart and love is used as a synonymous, all over the world, all over the - almost every language, I've verified more than fifty to sixty language. Heart and love is used as a synonymous. Can you say any one language your language any language which you know in that the both words are not synonymous? Hmm. Mm. In every language heart and love is used as a synonymous. It is not that God has created all the language in one day, made translations CD package, and dropped in one one country. It's not that. Every language is created by different persons, in different situation, in different countries. There is no chance even for exchanging the ideas or words. But in every language, heart and love is used as a synonymous. It means there is some more deep connection between these two words. And not only that, whenever you meet a childhood friend, who is your friend from a very young age, with whom you have a cherished sweet memories, if you meet him or meet her somewhere suddenly after ten years or twenty years, as soon as you see him or her you will see that something is flowing or coming up from this region. Any of you have felt it? If you observe you can understand as soon as you see him something will flow from here.

That is what we call, love. The emotion love and the heart is very closely related. How many of you have felt it experientially? Whenever you see somebody after a long time, you can feel it, something happening. Love and heart are very closely related.

Same way, the depression and navel, they both are very closely related. If you get some news which you are not able to bear, which you are not able to tolerate, if it is too shocking or disturbance, the first blow will be for stomach. You can see the first blow will be for stomach. Either you’ll have a stomach upset or nauseating feeling, how many have you experienced? Again and again there's an expression in all the language, “I can't digest it. I can't stomach it”. Whenever something hard is brought to you, immediately you say, “I can’t digest it”. Stomach and the navel and the depression is navel and the worry is very closely related.

Heart and the love, navel and the worry, like this every emotion is related to some one chakra. Every chakra is related to some one emotion. So when you know how to use the emotion the chakra opens. When you know, when you abuse the emotion. the chakra gets locked. Understanding of this emotions opens the energy center. Opening the energy center makes you understand. By understanding you can open, by opening you can understand, both can happen. Directly you can open with meditation. If you meditate and open the chakra, you will have the understanding. If you understand, then the chakra will open. Its like a circle. If you do this, that will happen. If you do that, this will happen. Now we will be doing both. Understanding about the emotion, and opening the chakra by meditation. Both we will be doing. Energizing it and understanding about it. Both we will be doing on every chakra.

First let us work on the heart center. We are going to work on heart center. This chakra is called Anahata. Heart center is the energy center we are going to work first. We’ll be going in a different route; it will not be we will be going below to above, and above to below, we’ll be going in a different route. It is a specially arranged form. First we will work on the heart center. As you all are aware, the love is the emotion related to the heart center. Actually what is love? I wanted some of you to answer, but not what you read from the books or philosophies or spiritual discourses. I wanted to, I wanted your answer what you feel it as a love. What is your life? What you think as love? That is what, I wanted. Praptana.

[00:Participant]: I think it’s an emotion that you feel for someone, and it’s stronger as strong as how you feel for yourself. If the person feels pain you feel like a mother for the child, the husband for the wife. And for just about anybody who you could respect and…

[00:Swamiji]: Mm. Prem?

[00:Participant]: I think its something like you know, you care for them and you take care of them.

[00:Swamiji]: Mm, caring, nice. Jayashree?

[00:Participant]: Something very warm and nice feeling and expanding feeling for the person when you see them.
