Soul Desire

The mind and the physical brain control the human body and are controlled by the desire of the soul. What does a soul desire?

Just close your eyes and observe for two minutes what is going on inside the brain. You will find so many thoughts running inside — children, family, spouse, business, emotions. These thoughts indicate the desire of the soul and it is because of these thoughts or desires that you are unable to go beyond the human existence and are unable to find peace and happiness.

All that is physical is temporary and what is temporary is painful. When the mind is engaged in thoughts of the physical, it cannot think of anything beyond it, because at one point of time, it  can only do and think of one thing. Even Ayurveda says that of the five senses, only one is active at one time.

Words like ekagrata, ek tatva nirsantar abhyas, bhumadhya etc all indicate the path to success as a one-pointed focus. Sanatan Kriya details this. The problem starts when our desires divide. Multiplicity of desires leads to ambiguity. It is like putting five litres of petrol you have in five different cars — none of them will move forward by much.

We have come to prithviloka from other lokas (dimensions). When we were sent here, a chip was fitted at the center of our forehead (agya chakra) and we were given the software to activate this chip — Om. When you go to agya and chant Om, a signal is sent to where we have come from that we want to come back and so He sends for us. But we need to first overcome other energy centres of the body and only then we can access agya.

This path can only be shown by your guru. It  is one thing to know Sanskrit, but another to be able to chant the right way, in the absence of which the language of the gods becomes ineffective.
