God has created fourteen levels within us. If you simply count them, then you know that there are seven Chakras within us; besides these there are two more Chakras, about which you do not talk much. They are the Moon chakra (Lalita chakra) & Sun chakra (Shri chakra). Then there is the Hamsa Chakra
Thus there are three more: seven plus three make ten. Then there are four chakras above the Sahasrara. And about these chakras also, I have told you- Ardhabindu, Bindu, Valaya and Pradakshina. These are the four. After coming to Sahaja Yoga and after your Sahasrara has opened, you have to pass through these four chakras, Ardhabindu, Bindu, Valaya and Pradakshina.
After passing through these four chakras, only, can you say that you have become a Sahaja Yogi. And if you see from another angle, we have to cross fourteen stages to reach up to Sahasrara; if you divide them then there are seven chakras situated on Ida Nadi and seven on Pingala Nadi.
When man makes his ascent, he does not do so in a straight direction. He comes first to the left then to the right, then again to the left and then again to the right. And when Kundalini ascends, She also does so, dividing Herself into these two. The reason for it can be understood if I take the example of two ropes.
These two ropes together, side by side, in the process of going up or coming down cross over twice. (here Shri Mataji explains the rising of Kundalini along Ida & Pingala Nadis; making 4 loops – two each in opposite directions – (clockwise and anti clockwise) at every chakra.)*
When Kundalini ascends, you see on the chakra whether the left is caught or the right is caught. Although Kundalini is only one, but on every chakra you see both the things – thus you know whether left is caught or the right. Thus, within us, if each chakra is divided into these two – left and right, then seven two’s are fourteen.
So, within us, first of all, fourteen stages have to be crossed before reaching the Sahasrara. And if you understand this, that these seven [main chakras], and seven above [Sahasrara], then in this way, also, a path of fourteen is created.
Important In Kundalini
Therefore this number fourteen is very important in Kundalini shastra (science), very important. It’s a very important thing. We should fully understand that we become entitled to the blessings of Sahaja Yoga only after rising above these fourteen stages.
We should unceasingly march forward and get completely dyed in it [in its colour]. Rajana, birajana – these words I have told you many a times before also; but today, specially, we should understand, on Sahasrara day, what is rajana (to reign, to be the master) and what is birajana (to assume).
Now, you are sitting, you look at these trees. This is the tree of shriphala. Nariyal is called shriphala. Coconut is called shriphala. Whether you have ever thought about it or not, I don’t know, but it is a thing to be really thought about – ‘Why is it called shriphala?’
This grows along the sea coast and nowhere else. The best fruit grows at the sea coast. The reason is this, that the sea is the dharma. Wherever there is dharma, only there, the shriphala blossoms. Where there is no dharma, shriphala will not grow there.

You start it from the back, put your right hand towards me, put your left at the back (of the head). In the centre here, or you can say that, where there’s a little jutting point, on that point.
