I have alluded this to a few times in my past blogs. Every chakra except Sahastrar has a negative downward pole, a consciousness that is directed towards the world. This is referred to in the Bhagvad Gita as the “Dakshinayana” or lower six months of the calendar. If a person leaves the body while the chakras are pointing downwards, it is said he had “adhogati” Meaning adho meaning downward and gati meaning movement.
When the chakras are turned upward, the consciousness faces God. One begins to realize oneself, successively in every chakra as pure consciousness. This is the brighter half of the lunar cycle or Uttarayana or the upper six months of the calendar. It is also the fire or daylight as described in Gita. If a person leaves his body in this situation, he is said to have Urdhvagati or meaning upper movement
Remember, this is still not liberating. Also remember the chakras are in the brahmanadi. Please see my description about it. These events occur slowly. However, any effort is supremely helpful as Babaji and Lahiri Mahashay said. “Banat Banat Banjaye”
In todays meditation, my pager went off – it was lying right next to me but I did not hear it. Did not realize it till I got up from meditation. The meditation was still a struggle. The lower half of Manipur, the site of chitta, the place for worries, stress and anxiety has been supremely strong for the last month. I can occasionally pass it but it does not remain turned upwards at all times. In order to overcome this with pemanence, requires finding and clinging to God completely, selflessly and without worry or anxiety. I do not and have not figured out the exact opposite to this shadow.
Having said that, I am increasingly aware of the primary will of God. It is a vibration above the Agna chakra. God wills and it happens in this earth. There is no question of probability or whether it will happen or not. It just happens. Moreover, I heard the sound of Hum, Hum, the sound that comes from God, which repeatedly tells the soul, that I am.
It is important to remember that to surrender to the will of God, one has to be fearless, anxiety free, worry free, without anger, hatred or jealousy or vengenance. Just purity. I was able to do this with some degree of success. It reminds me of the incident when Ramkrishna asked Vivekananda, if there is an ocean of nectar, where would you start swimming in it? Vivekananda said, at the edge so that way he would not drown. Ramkrishna laughed and said, Child, this is the ocean of immortality you can jump in anywhere anytime. Do not be afraid!
