How to Be Peaceful

From time to time, observe three things within:

Desires. Desires come one after another; one gets fulfilled and another comes. Some desires don’t get fulfilled yet more desires come. Let them come, don’t fight with them; just observe that the desires are coming.

Intellect. Likes, dislikes and judgements arise from your intellect, just recognize them.

Ego - I am happy, I am unhappy, I am miserable, I am too good, I am not so good. All that 'me', to which you attach many other adjectives, that 'me' is the ego.

Sometimes you should say, "For some time, let me freeze all three things". When you do this, then something happens. That magical moment when something happens, you say, "Wow, this is the deep rest that I have always desired. I did all that I could do, all my life, for this joy that is deep inside me!"

This awareness dawns from within you. So from time to time you have to sit freeze your desires, intellect and ego. Just freeze it for a few minutes, and then the depth of silence, the vastness of peace suddenly becomes yours.

Life is much larger than birth & death, failure & success. You are the unblemished, pure eternal Self. Knowing this, you will walk like a King.

Q: Could you tell us the exact location of the chakras? In meditation we are supposed to focus on them? I do not know where they are exactly.

Guruji: This is just to give you an idea but don’t try to pinpoint.

The first chakra is at the base of the spine, at beginning of the anus and is called Muladhara.

Just above that is the next chakra called Svadhishthana.

The third chakra is just above the navel called Manipura.

Above that is the Anahata chakra which is in the center of the chest.

Then is the throat chakra called Visuddhia.

Above that is the chakra in-between the eyebrows called Ajna.

The last chakra is on top of the head called Sahasrara.

So giving simple attention is all that we need to do.

There are methods which can give you a shock like experience. Do not go for that type of forceful awakening of the Kundalini because it involves risks and sometimes people go crazy. Sometimes you may not get dramatic changes that the Kundalini experience would give to people, but do not be bothered about that because that can cause an imbalance in the system.

It is the forceful awakening of Kundalini that I would not recommend. There are many cases where people cannot lead a normal life. We have to live a normal life, right? We all need to lead a normal life and have a spiritual experience which I tell you is the best way to live!

Many of you must have experienced that after a while you feel happy all the time. And whatever you desire happens. You see, you intend and it happens! These are all effective awakenings. Come what may, nothing can take your happiness away. So do not be tempted by people saying, "Oh, I will give you this power and awaken your Kundalini suddenly". You should keep your distance. Physically, physiologically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually, from every angle this is the best way . I have emphasized it again and again.
