“Understand, your system undergoes a hormonal change or chemical change…”

Understand, your system undergoes a hormonal change or chemical change which you are not able to bear. Once you know how to be centred, even when that happens, you can open the Svadhisthana. You can manage the situation. You will be centred, even when the fear stroke happens to you. The quality and the quantity of the fear stroke will disappear. Many people after doing this meditation, they come and tell me, “Swamiji, the total fear stroke itself has disappeared in my life. Even if the same situation raises I don’t get the same fear stroke.” This will totally heal your Svadhisthana.

When the fear stroke happens you can see, the Svadishtana only will be shaken. That is why immediately you go for [Swamiji gestures 1, 2] one or two. Immediately your Svadhisthana is shaken. Love you can feel from Anahata. Depression you will...worry you will feel from navel, Manipuraka. Fear stroke you will feel from Svadhisthana. Sex you will feel in the Mooladhara. Exactly you can feel the emotions in that space. Now we...we understood one thing, we should face the fears, layers of fears, to face the fear stroke. Or to reduce the quantity and quality of the fear strokes.

What are all the fears? Okay, now let us classify all these fears, under major four layers. If you find some more fear, then you can tell me, we will find where it can be placed. First thing, first layer, fear of losing your wealth, comforts, name and fame, social status. First layer of fear, fear of losing the outer world things.

Female voice from participant: Not Auditable

Swamiji: No, outer world things, that is the first fear.

Next, fear of losing your health, or accident, or losing your… some parts of your body. Fear of your own health. Third thing, fear of losing the near and dear ones, or the love of the near and dear ones. Not only losing them, and losing their love. This is the third layer. Fourth layer, fear of unknown. Fear of death, fear of darkness, fear of ghost, fear of black magic, fear of hell or the heaven, all these things are under, fear of unknown. These are the four major fears.

Is there any other fear which has to be clar… which you have, we can classify it. Because you need to understand these four layers of fear. We are going to work on it. Any other fear?

Male voice: Physical fear

Swamiji: Hu...Physical?

Male voice: We heard but… We didn’t have an experience…..something happened

Swamiji: That is… that is the first… first thing. You see, if you...if you bother about the name and fame, it comes in first category. If you bother about the personal pain, second category.

Male voice: What about fear of being afraid?

Swamiji

Fear of being?

Male voice:

Fear of being afraid

Swamiji:

Ah, yes. Fear of fear, that cannot be classified under anything because we have to work on it. Fear of fear is, you can say, fear of unknown.

Male vice: Fear of... confidence?

Swamiji:

Fear of not having confidence? First layer.

Male voice: Fear of God?

Swamiji:

Fear of God is fear of, unknown. Unknown.

Female voice: Fear of..heights

Swamiji

Fear of heights? Fear of accidents.

So let us work on the fear stroke. Any other fears? Except these four layer?

Female voice: No

Swamiji: Okay.

Let me give you the basic four instruction about this meditation. First thing, this meditation is not like, other three meditations you practised. It’s not like, I’ll give instruction you will do. It’s like a guiding. When I guide, you need to do. In the other things, I know what you are supposed to do. I tell you, you do that same thing. But here, I can only guide you. I can only show you the path. You need to imagine, you need to visualize and do.

It’s like a, if you have the fear, of losing the name and fame, feel, visualize you lost it. When you visualize, really feel that you’ve lost it. Your whole body will feel the fear, or pain, suffering. You will feel as if you want to jump out of your skin, or you want to run away from this hall. You don’t want to visualize any more. You mind will tell “no no no no, when it comes let us face, let us not do now itself all these things.” Your mind will try its best to do all this… all this...problems. Don’t listen to your mind.

When I guide you, you need to visualize or imagine deeply. You need to practice this meditation technique deeply. I can only guide you, you need to practice. This is the first thing. Second thing, don’t think, “what imagination can help me? Ahhh, I know everything. Why should I imagine?” Don’t think if you imagine, only then you will understand what all the things are locking you. Where all the... you are caught. You may think, “I know what all are my fears. What is there, imagining. What is there in visualizing. What it is going to do. I know how to come out. I’ll do.”

If you think in that way, it’s a intellectual knowledge. Intellectual knowledge is… value of intellectual knowledge you know, it’s like a zero zero zero zero, ten zero. Spiritual experience is one. If you don’t have the one, what’s the value? Ten zero is equal to one zero only. hu..So if you add the one, only then the zeroes get value. So have the experience, only then your intellectual knowledge will get value.

So, don’t think what imagination can do for you. Imagine deeply, visualize totally, then you will understand how much it can help you. Because, by visualizing, the Manipuraka totally gets cleared. Actually it gets unwinded. Now it is like a… twisted towel. For example, wet towel if you twist, how it is. Your Svadhisthana is just like that, That is why you always, you’re holding it, you’re tight in that region. If you visualize and do this meditation, it will slowly get relaxed. It is just total relax. It will totally heal the Svadhisthana. So, visualize total, second thing.

Third thing, don’t have a fear, “Will I die once for all.” Don’t have a fear, you’ll come back. Fourth thing, there are four layers I’ll be explaining, I’ll be guiding you. All will not have fear of all four layers. You will have other, 2, 3 layers, only little bit, little bit. Some one layer you will have a deep fear. Work on that deep fear layer some more time, even if I go to next layer. Don’t bother about it. The four layers, losing the outer comforts, name and fame, social status. Losing your own body health, or some parts of your body or accident. Losing the near and dear ones or the love of the near and dear ones. Fear of your own death and the unknown, fear of unknown.

If you’re caught in any one layer deeply, work on that layer. Deeply. So anymore doubt about this meditation? Visualize totally, let your eyes pour tears. Let your hands tremble. Let you feel that you are sinking, let you feel you are dying. Nothing wrong. Allow everything to happen. Everything to come up. Only then your consciousness will get strengthened, to face the fears and reduce the quality and quantity of the fear stroke.
