Subject: [K-list] Chakras and then one more step.
From: Tony O'Clery

Sai Ram Brothers and Sisters,

" The Muladhara, the lowest of the chakras at the
lower end of the spinal passage, is the embodiment of
the prakrithi (nature) principle. Therefore it is
related to the material facet of man. It is the
principle of the earth."

" The Swadhistana chakra at the point of the navel, is
the guardian of the Pranamayakosa ( the sphere of the
five senses), the vital facet of the person. It is
the agni,fire, principle, the spring and source of
warmth in the body, that maintains the processes of
digestion and protection from environmental change."

"The Manipura chakra is the next highest on the spinal
scale, it is the water principle, that helps the
circulation of the blood both into the heart and out
of it, from all parts of the body."

" The Anahata chakra is in the region of the heart,
embodies the vayu, air, principle which is in charge
of the breathing process, inhalation and exhalation,
so vital for life and activity. It also vitalises the
spinal force, and passes over the frets of the inner
veena."

" The Visuddha chakra is in the pit of the throat,
near the pituitary gland. It represents the akasa,
space ether sky, principle and promotes sound."

" The Ajna chakra on the mid-brow spot is the
embodiment of Vijnana-the splendour of Awareness-for
when this chakra is reached, man glimpses the Truth,
gets transformed and becomes translucent.
 It is only a step away from the final realisation
when the Sahasrara chakra on the crown of the head is
attained.
 That is the consummation of all sadhana of all
search.

" The stage of desire operates in the first two
chakras, the stage of endeavour in the next two and
the stage of Awareness is most evident in the last
two. The awareness is there, latent in everyone,
ready to surface when the veils of ignorance are
removed.
  The individual life-force resides like lightning
flash in the womb of a blue cloud between the ninth
and twelfth rings of the spinal column.
 It will be alert and awake only when Sadhana (
spiritual practice) of any type is done after
cleansing of character and habits."
Swami,(Sai Baba), SSS, Vol, X ,Ch 23. P117. Compendium
p 71.

So one can see here that after attaining the Sahasrara
chakra there is yet another step and that is also
mentioned by Ramana Maharshi as the Heart Centre. In
Sanskrit, Hrudayam! The Spiritual Heart.

Love and Sai Ram, Tony.
