Kundalini has been described fourteen thousand years back by a great poet called Markandeya in our country. I told you the other day that in Koran it is described as ‘asas’ [base, foundation] and in Granth Sahib as “Shruti” [revelation] and in the Bible as the Holy Ghost.
In the Zen system also, it is described of the Zen system of Bodhidharma it is described and also Lao-Tse has described it. Every one of them has described it. Now, this Kundalini is actually the pure desire within us, is the energy of pure desire.
Now, the power of pure desire, which is the Kundalini, which is in the triangular bone of sacrum, gives us this ascent. This is the reflection of the Holy Ghost, is the power we call as Adi Shakti, the Primordial Mother. And the reflection of God Almighty is in our heart, which is the Spirit.
When the union takes places then we say “Yoga” has happened means the union, “Yoga” also means the union. Thus, our attention becomes enlightened by the Spirit. When our attention is enlightened by the Spirit then we become, I say again we become, it’s not a mental projection or anything, but actually you become collectively conscious. That means you start feeling your inner Self, your centres, your “nadhis” on your fingertips and that of others as well. So first, when the Kundalini awakens it gives the first state called Nirvichara Samadhi, means the one where you become thoughtlessly aware.
This Kundalini rest in the triangular bone which is sacrum – meaning sacred – that means the Greek knew that this, this one was a sacred place. But in the last hundred years, lots of funny people have come around and giving very funny ideas even about Kundalini which is not written anywhere in the Shastras .
This Kundalini is your individual mother, and how can she trouble you? When your mother, physical mother gave you birth, she took up all the trouble upon herself.
This kundalini passes through the six centres that why it’s called as “sat chakra bhedana” [six chakra penetration] means there are six centres it pierces through. And the seventh one is placed under the Kundalini. The seventh one is the – or we can call it the first one – is the centre of innocence within us
Now, the ascent of the Kundalini when it takes place, the seat of the Spirit is on top of your head and that’s why you get your enlightenment when the Kundalini touches the seat of the Spirit. It’s the seat or called as pita in Sanskrit language, is called pith. As a result of this happening, the first thing you feel is the cool breeze coming out of your head.
You also start feeling the cool breeze all around you because this is the All-pervading Power of God which is formless. When you start feeling that energy for the first time, then you have to know what it is, how to use it, how to work it out. The another meaning of the word “yoga”, also means “guptik”, means the deepness, deepness, how to you use the All-pervading Power of God, how to decode, how to manifest. Now the nature of the Spirit is that, when it comes into your attention, first of all, your brain gets enlightened with the truth.
