The lower three chakras rule us
We have seven chakras. However, we are acting from the first three chakras, namely BASIC/ROOT CHAKRA, SWADHISTANA CHAKRA and SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA.
“I am seeking myself to maintain myself, seeking pleasure, seeking to possess, stick to confirmed events” would be our ruling behavior as long we live out of these three chakras.
However we should live out of Anahata chakra
Then what I need will never end.
Why my needs are never ending? Because what I get never satisfies me.
ANAHATA CHAKRA (Heart Chakra) is the one that changes these chakras. Only through Anahata chakra we learn to give.
Who will win eventually – all the three lower chakras or one Anahata chakra?
Sadly, success of Anahata chakra is short-lived
Obviously the three chakras will win. But even if Anahata wins how it comes down again? Let us see.
Giving and sharing are the qualities of Anahata. But now and then Solar Plexus calls Anahata, and tells that ‘You are giving liberally. That’s very good’.
The moment it tells like that, ego sets in. When “ego” predominates, giving is denied.
You are not the doer, but the divine is
The quarrel of these four chakras is watched by VISUDHI that is THROAT CHAKRA.
Visudhi means purification. The Visudhi tells the other chakras, you are not the doer, and if you let go the thinking that I am the doer, you will become very good.
When ‘I am not the doer’ thinking comes to you, there will be surrender mentality. All your thoughts will be purified; your love will be refined; then you will accept whatever happens in your life.
Purification of Chakras
Which mantra purifies all these chakras? That is the mantra:
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
Eight times we are chanting HARE, every time you chant the mantra. When you chant HARE, your selfishness will go, and self-centeredness is removed.
When you chant RAMA, arrogance is removed, and the “I” goes off. As long as you are healthy we will not let go the “I”.
“KRU” means adaptability. We can go up and down in life, but wherever we go we have to be happy. For that “KRU” will help.
SHNA means let go of everything daily. Only when you let go you will be adaptable/flexible. If you are flexible means there is no arrogance.
