When you are repeating the mantra which has been given to you, you

pierce the most important forms of yoga five chakras with the wind-

element in your body. And while breathing and repeating the mantra,

what you could have achieved by doing a lot of pranayama,you achieve

by simply repeating the mantra. With the power of the mantra,

through the normal breathing cycle, you pierce all the five chakras

of prana,apana, udana, vyana and samana (forward breath, downward

breath, ascending breath, diffusing breath, assimilating breath).

 

Whatever there is in this whole universe is also in the body of man.

Whatever you want to search from within, the whole body will come

before you. There is all knowledge in a child. If we want to make

him a doctor, we start him by doing studies of biology, and other

things which are needed to be a doctor. One day, as he grows up, he

will certainly become a doctor. If the parents want that same

child to become an engineer, if right from childhood he is taught

mathematics,etc., one day he will become an engineer. If the parents

decide that the child should become a lawyer or a barrister, by

teaching him law, one day, he will become a lawyer.

 

This proves that in the human body, all knowledge is hidden.

Whichever thing we want to be, if we search for it, we will be able

to realize that thing. If we want that child to be a pick-pocket or

a thief, if we put him into this environment, one day he will become

the most expert pick-pocket. This proves that the good and bad

qualities are within the body, and that whichever way we

want the body to act will be realized by it.

 

The same way, all the gods -- like Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwar

(Shiva), the Mother, - every deity is in this body. When anybody

goes to a master for initiation, the master, with his Divine

knowledge, will look into the person's heart and will immediately

know that in the past life, this human being had been

a worshipper of this particular deity, of the Divine Mother, of

Shiva, or Rama.

 

According to the knowledge of whom he had been worshipping in his

last life, them master will give him the mantra of that particular

deity. If he had been a disciple of the Divine Mother, he will give

him (or her) Shaktipat (initiation into the energy of the Divine

Mother).This is why, in the initial stage, one needs to be with a

master. For after showing the disciple the right direction,

he progresses on his own later on. This is why in this Kali-Yuga,

karma and japa-yoga are considered the most important forms of yoga.
