Out of the unseen and un-manifest, Man emerges onto the world stage fully readymade. All circuits are in place all the wiring and channels are laid out and the switches installed. The scene is set for illumination. Like a skilled electrician He just has to unlock his inner network and initiate the connection.
Life is a process of unlocking. We knock on many doors hoping we have the right key. Sometimes we stumble onto the right key and open a few doors and often we have to face disappointment and defeat, because we could not find the right key to fit the lock.
Every lock comes with a key or a code. Each day, we unlock our homes, our offices, our phones, our iPads and laptops, our bank accounts and passwords.How about extending this a bit further and think about unlocking our self created physical and mental, compartments and cages. We are locked in our fears, insecurities, disappointments, failures, ideas, opinions and judgements, mis-understandings and grievances. It is difficult for us to break out of these cages.To unlock and set ourselves free, we need a Master Key.
Now more than ever before, during this Great Lockdown, one realises the importance of unlocking. In that sense this was not a lockdown but a time for unlocking and opening closed barriers, limited ways of thinking, selfish ways of acting and negative ways of feeling. I hope that is happening. We all talk a lot about freedom as our birthright. Yes, freedom from negativity is our birthright.
To unlock oneself is a tricky business because it requires us to become totally transparent. Perhaps a bit vulnerable too as all barriers have to dissolve. But on the other hand it is a simple business too. For all you have to do to break your barriers is to flow with the natural energy abounding in the universe. You have to become your natural self.
That natural energy knows no barriers. It is free flowing energy. It pervades every atom and particle of this Universe. It enters every nook and cranny including the darkest recesses of our minds. It is the cosmic Energy. To flow in tune with the cosmic energy one has to remove all that obstructs its movement. In a sense we have to become totally translucent. We have to become like crystal that absorbs all light, not to devour it, but only to emit beautiful colours.
Isn’t it ironical that the simplest thing in the world, to be natural, has become the most difficult for us. We have moved very far away from our natural resources and so it appears an almost alien idea. Perhaps we would not even recognise ourselves should we become natural, simple, spontaneous, moving with the flow and living in the moment. Being natural doesn’t just mean planting trees and spending your day in the forest or in the mountains or by the sea. Being natural is to flow with your natural vibration which is the rhythm of the heart and also the rhythm of the universe.
In order to do this it is necessary to have a new vision of life. That vision has to be charged and connected with the sum total of all energies pervading in the universe. The totality of energy. The cosmic energy from which all energies that sustain the creation emanate.
Just as you have 2G/3G/4&5G, I have a name for it too, it’s called DG – DivineJi. It is SUHF, super ultra high frequency, which we humans have an inbuilt mechanism to resource. We don’t need any towers or wifi or instruments or chips or sims or chargers or wires or plug points or electricity outlets. We can move around hands free, because that infrastructure is inbuilt.
This is the age of connectivity they say. So let’s get connected with Divine energy. Let the signal be strong. Let it have the clear and unbroken transmission of DG – DivineJi. This is the inheritance of the human race, our birthright and road to unlocking and freedom.
This requires a new vision of life. A changed vision. A meaningful vision. A vision that includes others, not just me and my tribe, or flock or family or admirers. But all of humanity. In order to get connected with Divine energy one must be connected with everyone and everything. Nothing should be excluded from one’s field of vision. That is the secret road to freedom, peace, love and unity.
Connectivity is the key factor to expansion and broadening our vision. As connectivity grows we acquire knowledge and new horizons emerge. Today we know much more than we ever knew through connectivity because of internet and Google guru. However that is limited to the material, physical and external alone. We must remember that it is a temporary connection like a dream that can get broken any time.
Tomorrow if the earth’s magnetic field is disturbed all internet services may crash and our connectivity is reduced to zero. Our gps is a part of the space satellite system which can get disrupted any time by forces beyond our control. Everything will then slowly but surely come to a standstill as our very ability to function depends on that.
Imagine how it would be if you could not phone or chat or zoom or whatever any more. It’s a possibility. Everyone will start moaning and groaning as they can’t connect with their loved ones or professions or studies or maybe even their doctors. That is how dependent we have become on a system that can fail us any time for Nature can immobilise everything in an instant. Mother Nature has already displayed her power!
This disruption Nature has thrown at us is perhaps then to make us realise that we have to rely as much if not more on DivineG as on 5G. This means we have to become aware of our own in-built GPS system which we have inherited from Mother Nature. We came into this world fully assembled with all systems for this possibility. We just have to unlock the code with the Master key.
Unlocking ourselves and experiencing true freedom is only possible when we become self-reliant, atma-nirbhar to this extent. Distance does not reduce connectivity. It is the vibration or frequency that does. You may be far away from your beloved but as soon as the frequencies match you begin to communicate.
Then there is no separation. There is only union. This is called atman nirbharta or self-reliance. Wealth and status are not the only yardsticks to measure self-reliance. It is our ability to be complete in ourselves that makes us self-reliant. Self reliance attained through external aids such as material prosperity thrives only when it is complimented with internal self reliance.
What is the Master Key? Where does it lie? As I said we came ready made, fully equipped and assembled. In that case we must also have an in-built key. Of course we do. We are unlocking ourselves all the time. We unlock our DNA and grow into full fledged adults, we unlock our minds all the time and grow into intelligent beings. We unlock our intellect and grow into discerning human beings. We unlock our emotions and depending on the quality of our emotions we become stable or unstable human beings.
Emotional immaturity is one of the biggest setbacks man faces. Today the challenge before us is not how to earn money, but how to manage one’s turbulent emotions. One single emotional disturbance can destroy all the intelligence, logic and reasoning that we may be proud to have developed in ourselves. One unruly emotion can drive us to insanity, depression, murder or even suicide. It seems then that the secret of self-reliance lies not just in our wealth, intelligence, intellect, skills and acumen but largely on our ability to manage our emotions. Emotions hold the key for unravelling this great mystery called Life.
Our emotions are the guiding force that can lead to greater connectivity. Emotional energy has great power. It immediately connects you with the object, person, event or even idea that you direct your emotion towards. The emotion of fear keeps you connected to whatever you fear. So does anger, hatred, jealousy, grief, disappointment, betrayal.
It is through our emotions that we connect with everything. If the emotions are bitter and negative we connect with the destructive and if our emotions are pure and loving then we connect with positive fields of energy. In other words, we have to learn how to channelise and sublimate our emotions in such a way that they strengthen the transmission of our internal GPS system. E-motion is energy in motion, if harnessed, and directed properly our emotions can lead to enriching and qualitative experiences in life
The seat of emotions is the heart, not the mind. This does not mean that the heart is mindless. On the contrary the mind can be heartless but the heart can never be mindless. The mind only knows but the heart feels. There is a subtle difference. Knowing makes you knowledgeable and feeling on the other hand touches and transforms you. It is when something touches us that a connection is made and transmission begins. The mind that operates through a pure and kind heart is fully in tune with DivineG. It operates at the same frequency and at once activates our internal transmitters. The key to connect with DivineJi lies in managing our emotions.
Examine your emotions and you will find that essentially they are always pure, peaceful, and nurturing. It is only when they are coloured by other vibrations that they are destroyed and we become selfish, cruel, mean or bitter. We should not allow our natural vibration to be hijacked by anything that will disturb and eventually destroy it.
This happens to us as we face the trials and traumas of life. Difficulties in life create chinks in our emotional armour which leave scars. Our immunity is lowered and we become emotionally weak. We are then susceptible to the invasion of other vibrations which if negative can result in mental afflictions, disorders and incurable ailments. In order to protect ourselves from the side-effects of unwanted negative vibrations or viruses that are in and around us it is imperative for us to develop emotional immunity. We have to become not just intellectual giants but also emotionally strong as well !
Emotional Immunity or balancing of emotions, can only be achieved if there is an awakening of the heart consciousness. By awakening I mean the natural flow of heart energy should be allowed to spread in all directions, unhindered. We should associate feelings with our actions, and those feelings should be pure and vibrant.
Awakening of the heart takes place spontaneously through simple acts of kindness to one another. This strengthens the DivineJi connection instantaneously. The times we are in now is giving us ample opportunities to do that. Do not miss them. Each gesture of Serve Love and Give will at once initiate you into a subtle process of inner connection. The locks will begin to open one by one. Your inner circuits will begin to function and flow with Divine energy and you will be illumined.
Emotional Immunity can also be very effectively attained by sound energy. The science of mantra which is the science of sound can easily accomplish that. Mantras release all latent and dormant tensions from within us. They act like a detergent bringing all the grime to the surface and cleansing us in the process. In addition they create an energy field or kavach around our gross, subtle and causal bodies thus protecting us from any unwanted virulent invasion.
The mantra Om is the rhythm of the universe. The seed sound from which the universe expanded. This mantra resonates with the sound of the universe. It is said to be the natural frequency of the universe and to have cosmic healing powers.
Maha Mrityunjaya mantra can protect you from difficulties, afflictions and adversities of every kind. Gayatri mantra generates an aura of brilliance through which no harmful frequencies can penetrate. Durga mantra bestows an invincible shield which gives immense strength and power to overcome obstacles. Saundarya Lahari, a treatise of siddha mantras, has a remedy for each and every crisis man may face in life and beyond. So Ham is a rebirthing mantra. It is the sound of the breath. If you want to sleep like a baby chant this mantra. The Siddha Kunjika Mantra if repeated daily removes all anxieties and tensions bringing positivity into every sphere of life
Mantras are amogh, they can never fail and will always hit the target, but they have to be unlocked too. They have to be awakened from their dormant state just as we have to awaken our dormant potential to experience a richer quality of experience in life. Mantras are activated quite simply by repetition and gradually pass through the four stages of sound, vaikhari, the spoken, pashyanti, the whisper, madhyama, the mental or unexpressed state of sound and para, the transcendental sound.
This journey of sound if joined with breath awareness creates just the right resonance to accomplish the aim of the mantra and protect us by creating an aura or shield around us through which nothing adverse can enter. This ancient science of sound was at one time prevalent in all cultures, tribes and civilisations. The Vedic and tantric civilisations have preserved this knowledge through the Guru Disciple tradition.
At his Tapobhumi in Rikhiapeeth, Swami Satyananda himself performed uninterrupted Guru Mantra Japa, with breath awareness. To be aware of the mantra with every breath was his goal and accomplishment. At the same time he sowed the seed of seva, nurtured it and breathed Prana or Life into the spirit of Seva.
This is the direction he pointed to us as a path to follow to overcome the calamities of emotional turbulence that we face within ourselves, so that we may unlock our inner power. It is the path of Love. The path of love is always simple, all you have to do is listen to mantras, sing mantras, inhale mantras, swallow mantras, bathe in mantras.
