anahatha is symbolized with two
intersecting triangles forming a
six-pointed star this is a symbolism of
how the lower three chakras and upper
three in the body are all meeting here
as one that means it has six qualities
in one generally Anahata symbol is a six
pointed star with a dot in the center
that means all the seven chakras have
merged here in a certain way many
cultures are using this symbolism in
many different connotations but
essentially it comes from this the
upward moving triangle and the downward
moving triangle have met what a poor
moving triangle and downward moving
triangle means is fundamentally every
creature in some way is trying to rise
whatever their understanding of rising a
little worm may be wanting to climb up
the tree a bird may want to soar up in
the sky a human being may wants to
become rich or famous or powerful or
something else or once you get
enlightened all these are efforts to
rise so this is the nature of the
creation every creature is trying to
rise to its fullest potential some will
do it consciously most will do it
unconsciously but everybody is trying to
rise a man who isn't right now running
after money you may think oh he's no
good but no he is also trying to rise
through whatever staircase he has found
his staircase is cash right now you may
think your staircase is energy
experienced whatever
somebody may think their staircase is
emotion different people may think or
use different means but every creature
human or otherwise everything is trying
to rise this is the nature of life
this is creation that which we are
referring to is the very source of
everything this is not geo-specific this
is not geostatic so it moves every way
it percolates into everything because it
has no direction because it has no
location you have a directional moment
only if you are stuck in one place isn't
it only if you are geostatic you will
have a direction to go to if you are not
geostatic you're just everywhere there
is nowhere to go so you just seep into
everything that is there you soak
everything that's around you so in this
context yogic terminology has used these
two triangles the creature is trying to
move up the source is trying to come
down into this source does not come down
or go up nothing it just seeps into
everything because it's not located in
any place like let's say because we live
in this atmosphere let's say like air
air enters you years also air enters the
pores in your skin also not just in your
stirs if you open your mouth it goes
here also it has no choice about those
things wherever there is space it will
enter similarly let's understand it's
only an analogy don't start thinking on
those terms similarly that we consider
as the source is moving everywhere but
right now if we sit here
how is air moving means we see in the
passage it's going down like this and
coming out like this good air what's
good for us
good always means what is good for us
you must understand this others may not
agree all the other creatures on the
planet may disagree with us but good air
for this life is going down bad air is
coming out yes so this is only a
contextual understanding in reality it's
not like that
air is going here also here also but
this is the main source because if you
deny this you will die so you know that
this is a must so in this context what
we consider as the creature which is
this one is trying to move up this is
one triangle upward moving triangle what
we consider as the source of the divine
is coming down this is another triangle
downward facing triangle anahatha
is a place where both have intersected
in a alignment proper alignment forming
a six star six pointed figure with a
central point what this means is it has
many possibilities in one place if there
are too many possibilities in one place
it is also a place where most people
miss all possibilities there are too
many things happening if you pay
attention to it there are too many
things happening there so people may not
realize anything but it keeps them very
well entertained so we are coming to
this Anahata where there are too many
choices
normally I except for a handful of
people I've always avoided putting
people on Anahata sadhana because there
are too many choices and there are too
many confusions to go into Anahata
sadhana two things have needed one thing
is sweetness of emotion
another thing is absolute
steadiness of the intellect that is
there is a distinct see we're talking
about discernment intellect means
discernment there must be a discernment
between what is real what is not real
what is memory
what is imagination what is experience
what is psychological stuff
if this discernment is not there Anahata
is not the place to go because this is a
place where you hear and see things in a
way that even a reasonably stable person
can go crazy somebody who has a little
tendency will go all the way because
Anahata the word anahat means a sound
without reverb unstructured
most of the sound on the planet happens
because something strikes something this
is an unstruck sound that is if you
simply sit in silence all kinds of
sounds will happen these sounds have
been identified as 108 different
varieties of sound it is out of this
that different deities have been
associated with different sounds in
India if you say Siva
it's a camera or a drum damaru is a
meeting of two triangles like this when
two equilateral triangles meet like this
it makes a a drum when one comes to
Anahata when one is dominant in their
Anahata they start hearing things sound
of the Bell it's real
the drum a wind instrument like a flute
these kind of things may start happening
when you start hearing things generally
it means that you're going crazy so this
is why before you hear anything your
discernment must be so crystal clear and
your emotion should be sweet
why emotion should be sweet is if you
have not come to a certain sweetness of
emotion you know we everywhere we're
going about talking about blissfulness
and now we've kind of got down a step
lower and saying joy joy joy Yogi's
guide to joy all this because without
sweetness of emotion there are too many
things that you cannot do without
sweetness mmm without sweetness of
emotion which is constant within you you
are truly disabled or let's say you're
special because without sweetness of
emotion you are denying yourself the
universe including everything here only
when emotions you have mastered their
motion to become very sweet doesn't
matter what now going into different
explorations is fine because otherwise
you go into Anahata you see something
you hear something you may come
terrorized yes truly terrorized suppose
you see something like this
something you think is terrible see your
idea of something being terrible is I'm
I'm not seen too many but sometimes when
I'm switching channels I get to see what
is considered a horror movie it's
pathetic it's not it doesn't horrify me
just horrifies me that some director has
a mind like this blood will suddenly
come out of the eyes blood is always
flowing in the body if little leak
happens what is so horrifying about it
I'm asking from wherever it leaked what
does it matter I am asking no no it's
supposed to be horror because a whole
lot of people are innocent of these
things they don't know blood is flowing
they think they're like this so for such
people who are in such ignorance
suddenly something from within happened
images came up Anahata is the place
in the yogic science there is a
dimension of yoga called Tantra yoga in
Tantra one important aspect of it is the
Yogi's create their own data's that they
create a certain form and make it alive
that form either he or she or whatever
that form is it works with the yogi all
the time so this is why he needs no
company this why he doesn't get married
because all the time that is company for
certain reasons generally they created
female forms and with terrible
attributes the Yogi's created these
things either because they want somebody
next to them to whom you cannot be drawn
because of physical beauty or something
else
there is no way to be drawn all kinds of
weird images I don't know if you have
seen images of rock any dark any cinema
ste Kali these are all terrible images
of feminine manifestation but they
created these kind of images one reason
is because they want it like that
another reason may be suppose you try to
make let's say we gave you a lump of
clay and somebody said make the image of
adi yogi you know you were making like
this not because of a choice simply
because you clumsy with your hands
possible so for whichever reason they
created those kind of images and these
walk with them many of these many many
of these are still around the Yogi's are
gone long time ago they fulfill the
purpose of why they created the
images but they are gone these forms are
still there those who created some kind
of lineage there are people who still
making use of those forms those who did
not bother to create anything like that
they just let them loose if you hit your
Anahata they think a welcome Bell has
been struck and they tend to come if
they come you won't play with them you
will be terrified of them all these
forms are created by human beings why it
is coming towards Anitha is this is the
power of creation this is where a human
being can create so once you touch the
dimension everything that's we had
created and left around the subtle forms
will start coming in before art music
and something else comes to you is
calling it cinema ste that Wakeeney duck
in ela kini lankini all these kinds of
people all they start coming in it's a
wonderful opportunity but if your
sweetness of emotion and a crystal
razor-sharp discernment of the intellect
is not maintained these two things these
things can become a terrible experience
and may break your mind the core of the
universe must be a tremendous place but
are you ready for going to that place if
you go to the place this is not equipped
to go there so Anahata means the
unstruck sound here the first
manifestation why they call this
unstruck sound is the first
manifestation of Anahata is that sounds
will happen hearing things is considered
as the first sign of psychological
imbalance and it is because those who
are psychologically imbalanced in some
way also become perceptive in some other
way one dislocation
enables them in some other way but this
kind of enabling is not good for you it
is like it is like a child who's just
begun to walk you put him in a marathon
race because he's got legs and for sure
he's going to damage himself so it is
not that it is a bad thing too much of a
good thing when you're not ready for it
or when you are no good for it it's a
bad thing it is a great thing Anahata is
a fantastic place but I find in today's
world getting people to sharpen their
mind and turning their emotions sweet is
quite a job
Yogi's got to joy is it working
[Music]

about realizing being human you super

our problems are within us and if we
want solutions they are within us
nowhere else
