The Creation of the Elements Adi shakti

Matter is created out of elements which in turn are formed from their causal essences. Causal essences are the expression of the organs of perception of Adi Shakti

The fragrance of Her body created earth
❊ Her taste created water
❊ Her sight of vision created light or fire
❊ Her breathing created the air
❊ Her voice created the sky or firmament, called ether

These elements are acted upon later by the Gunas through human elements, which are also created by Adi Shakti. the great importance of human life in the play of Adi Shakti is very clear.

Earth

The earth element is created out of the causal essence of fragrance. The body of the Earth is the manifestation of material power. The spinning, revolving and gravitational forces of the Earth are caused by the influence of the activating mood or Rajo Guna,

while the sustenance power (Sattwa Guna) of the Earth is expressed as the sustainer of all Her inhabitants, manifested through Her magnetic axis. Hence in Sanskrit, Mother Earth is called Dhara.

Fragrance is the most important element that attracts one person to another, and is used to express and attract love. It is usually done artificially by human beings by the use of perfumes, colognes and bouquets of flowers, but there is no need for a person who is a realised soul, emitting Divine Love, to stoop to this.

Through Her magnetic power, Adi Shakti arranges the atoms of different elements. Matter
can be converted into material power like magnetism, light and electricity, and vice versa by human beings. But electricity cannot be converted into love.

Sahaja Yoga, however, can create that synthesis when the Kundalini is awakened. A beautiful fragrance of flowers and incense from the body of the seeker is perceived when this event occurs. This synthesis manifests the causal essence of fragrance (Sugandha) of the earth element which exists within all beings, and of which the Mooladhara Chakra is formed.

Water

Water, the second element created, is formed from the causal essence of taste of Adi Shakti, known as Rasa. Like all the elements it also acts upon the others. For example, light acts on it to give it new characteristic – a sheen.

When the desiring mood of Tamo Guna acts on this element, it manifests as the ordinary water in oceans, rivers or wells. But when the activating mood of Rajo Guna acts on it, it is transformed into various different forms, such as rain and snow, from evaporated water. With the combination of other activities, like heating or freezing, water turns into vapour or ice.

When the sustenance power of Sattwa Guna acts on it, the water is given life like the taste on the tongue, the juices of the digestive system, the salty tang of blood, the quality of semen, and bodily perspiration which keeps the body cool and soft, flexible, shapely and beautiful. The main attribute of sustenance in water is its quality of cleansing

When water is blessed through the presence of Divine vibrations, the very same water can bring holiness to a person. The river Ganges which runs with Divine water, and is the expression of the love between Radha and Krishna, has such Divine vibrations

If you put water from the Ganges in a bottle and leave it there for months, you will be surprised to note that there is no formation of any living organisms in it as would happen with any other water. The water remains as crystal clean as ever.

When vibrated by a realised soul, water has curative properties. It mostly cures ailments caused by over-activity of the Nabhi Chakra, which controls the solar plexus. All stomach troubles can be cured with this water, as the Nabhi Chakra is created itself out of the water element.

Water was used by John the Baptist for baptism. As he was a truly great realised soul, the touch of his feet vibrated the river Jordan, and he used this vibrated water to awaken the Kundalini of those who came to him for baptism.

Light/Fire

The element of light or fire is created by the causal essence of the vision of the Primordial Mother. So Adi Shakti’s vision is the causal essence of fire.

When influenced by the desiring mood of Tamo Guna, fire becomes a burning energy that can reduce timber or coal to ashes. Fire in the body of the Earth is also under the influence of Tamo Guna, and causes earthquakes

When Pranava blesses the fire element, it becomes holy fire. Such fires as candles in a church, incense in a mosque, the Sacred Fire worshipped in Parsee Fire Temples, or light or fire in a temple where realised souls meet and meditate have tremendous vibrations. These fires and lights emit Divine vibrations.

It was Divine Fire, through various weapons (agni baan) , that was used to kill demons in ancient times. Fire that burns in the meditation rooms or the kitchens in the homes of realised souls (Atmajas) are also holy fires, as any negative vibrations from these Yogis are absorbed by such fires, which have the potential to kill demonic forces

When a seeker gets his Self-Realisation, Pranava manifests the existence of the five elements. A Sahaja Yogi feels an energy like electricity oozing out of his extremities (Chaitanya Lahiri).

These are the Divine vibrations of Pranava but they also express the electrical part of his nature.

These vibrations are also magnetic, and emit radiance or light. When this happens one can hear the sounds of the heart, and see different forms of light and colours.

The second path is when a seeker indulges in passion and satiates his desires. By the first path, he runs away from sex and desires; by the second path he runs towards them. By neither route will the seeker find the Kingdom of God.

Extreme movement from the central path, either to the right (abstinence and discipline) or to the left (self-indulgence), deviates the seeker from the sustenance path of Dharma, and one develops into a personality without sustenance (Adharma).

Air

Air is created as the result of Adi Shakti’s breathing, and is the causal essence of touch of the Primordial Mother. Air (Vayu) is a combination of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases and is the result of the influence of Tamo Guna. Air that is used for human activities and living is under the influence of Rajo Guna.

The air that a person breathes out is called Prana (the life force) and is influenced by the Sattwa Guna. This type of air has three forms: Apana, Samana and Udana. Apana exists in the lowest part of the abdomen as gases.

The air around a realised soul is holy when breathed in by that soul as it absorbs the vibrations from his being, and hence becomes holy. Countries where great Incarnations are born (Avatar Bhoomi) have tremendously vibrated air

When Kundalini rises in a human being, one feels the rising of an air-like movement in the body.

Because Kundalini is the existence power (Gauri being the Mahakali Power) and carries Prana, the breath of life, the Prana in Kundalini is residual human attention or conscious mind with the life force (Prana).

Moreover after Self-Realisation a seeker, even with the same body weight, feels very light. The top of the head opens and the Prana integrates with the human attention (Chitta), and connects with the All-pervading Divine Power

Later on the individual attention merges with the Divine Power, and the being becomes collectively conscious. Such a person can transmit his awareness into others, and can feel the awareness of others on his central nervous system

Ether/Sky

The element of ether or sky was created from the causal essence of the voice of Adi Shakti. All sounds in this world are created through percussion, and the sounds of waterfalls, the crashing of rivers, and the heaving of mountains are all influenced by the desiring mood of Tamo Guna.

The sound of Pranava’s movement through the Primordial Kundalini creates two types of sound: the first, which ascends through the Chakras, and the second which oozes out through the different petals of the Chakras, creating sounds.

The one that ascends is the sound of synthesised Pranava, the other one is analysed Pranava. Sounds that are used by humans such as with musical instruments, and sounds created by human voices for music, are under the influence of Rajo Guna

The material energy of sound becomes absolutely Divine only when a realised soul creates it by percussion or by vocal means. For example, chanting mantras or talking to Deities by non-realised souls creates barriers for their communication with these Deities, who become very angry with such unauthorised practices.

Human beings must understand that there is a protocol for approaching the Divine; ignorance of it is no excuse.

For example, if a non-realised soul continues to chant the name of Shri Krishna, he may get throat problems, and ultimately even throat cancer. Sounds that are used for invoking Deities in temples, or in the worship of God by realised souls or yogis, are the sounds which carry or reflect Divine vibrations.

If these words are uttered by non-realised people, they have no meaning and give no connection to God. If they are uttered by unholy people, these can fall victims to the anger of the Deities. Such individuals may fall into the subconscious or supraconscious realms. The Divine Power, the integrated energy, is expressed as the Word, also known as the ‘Aum’ or Logos or Anahalk.

It is very difficult for a scientist, who deals only with the material power, to understand Divine Power. He should grasp that the play of creation is not only about material power, but includes also Divin Power and the incarnating power, and that it contains a loving aspect, a thinking aspect, a creating aspect, and lastly, a material aspect.

Creation has all the loving moods of a great human being. Adi Shakti created Nature (Prakriti) as the romantic expression of Her Love for Her Lord, God Almighty, and of Her Love for Her children and the creation itself.

All Adi Shakti’s Incarnations at different stages in history have been accompanied by the relative Deities. These Deities have also expressed themselves in human Incarnations. By using various Deities and different Incarnations, Adi Shakti has transformed Her All-pervading Divine Power into different moods
