Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 The Mystery of Shakti Sadhna ============================= Those who are thoughtful and who are into some sort of sadhna, know very well that any sadhna is actually a sadhna of Shakti only. Because any God being worshipped is worshipped due to his power, his attributes and his form…. And all these are shaktis of that God. If Indra does not have power to control rain, nobody would care to worship him. Shri Hanumanji, when worshipped we actually worship his strength, his bhakti towards shri Ram and the help he rendered to Shri Ram….and all these are due his Shaktis. All siddhis are acquiring shakti and all visions, be it even of God's, are shakti oriented. Thus we come to know that worship of Shiva, Ganesha, Sun Indra or any other form of God , is actually worship of a particular shakti of that god. But these are called indirect Shakti sadhna. There is direct shakti sadhna too. Our sense organs give us the information about the material world around us. When these senses are not working, we do not feel the universe…even thought it is always there. This implies that the universe is nothing but an intercourse of our senses with the outerworld…and the resultant information our brain received in such intercourse. This implies that external universe is actually created by sense organs… in our mind. Similarly, this universe is actually manifested in the universal mind. Like the universal eye is the creater of light & forms, and individual eye sees that light and form and creates our universe in our mind. The universal ears create the sound and our individual ear is Bhokta of that sound…same is true for other sense organs. Thus the universal sense organs manifest the physical universe and our individual sense organs enjoy those manifestations. By controlling the sense organs and stopping them to work , the external universe ceases to exist for us. If this condition can be developed for longer periods with meditation, then we see the internal universe (antah-jagat). Like physical universe, this internal universe is created/manifested by universal Antah-karna and our individual Antahkarna is enjoyer (bhokta) of this internal universe. Similraly if we control the internal sense organs (sukshma indriyas), this internal universe also vanishes….. same as happened with physical universe, when we controlled our physical organs. When there is no enjoyer (bhokta) of external as well as internal universe, our Jivatama establishes into its real self… in its causal universe. Here the universal Causal Bindu is the creater of this causal reality…and our individual bindu is enjoyer (bhokta) of that causal reality. Many yogis have reached upto this state… but very few, whom Mother Shakti loved, could break this final Indrajaal (mesmerism) of Maya..and could go beyond causal universe. Now from above it is clear, that the physical universe, internal universe and causal universe are actually three different manifestations/ states of Adi shakti. Shakti manifests as \atma, Devata and individual soul…and following her manifestation 3 types of universes are also manifested simultaneously. When Shakti condenses/differentiates and solidifies comparatively due to Tam, the physical universe is manifested…. Opposite to this is when she thins/integrates and becomes sukshma…by removal of Tam…she finally reaches the individual Bindu state, which is our Jivatma. Hence the 3 types of universes, 3 types of consciousness and 3 types of manifestations are nothing but 3 states of Adi-Shakti. What is relation between this shakti and the Existence…. We may discuss it later but this much is sure that due to separation or intercourse of both, the 3 types of universes come into being. The separation of shakti and shiva gives birth to creation and enjoyer being (Ishwar & Jivatma)….and the integration of both diminishes the creater and created and jiva and ishwara become one When one transcends the three states (jivatma, deva and god) or when shakti integrates and transcends the Bindu state, that state is called Param-Advait or Param Brahm. Now since we have to cross/transcend the three states of Shakti, we can well understand that it is almost impossible to transcend /win these states of shakti, without pleasing the Shakti herself. Simply rejecting any of her manifestation as mere Maya or Bondage will yield no help from Adi-Shakti. Hence all religions, all faiths, all paths by all ways of worshippings….are actually doing shakti sadhana in one way or the other. We can very well understand now that the universe which we enjoy or which gives us pains and sufferings is nothing but the light of Adi-shakti. The root of these universes, where the basic primodal existence is… that is the true form of Adi-Shakti. Satchidananda may be one of her explanation but even this Name does not tell fully about her. This form is beyond speech, beyond sight and beyond touch…and is called the " Param – pad " . That form is neither Truth nor untruth, neither light nor darkness, neither this nor that. This Adi-Shakti when sees the universe inside her…then she differentiates into an equilibrium state of Shiva And Shakti and in Tantra this inseparable union is called Bindu.
