What is Kundalini? Kundalini is the
power of coherent awareness, which moves snake like; hence called the SERPENT
POWER. It is spontaneous, unpremeditated, subconsciously motivated action. It
has its own laws of working. It can defy gravity easily. It is life itself,
which possess awareness. That it can defy
gravity is very easy to see. When you get up from the chair, your center of
gravity goes up, against gravity. All life exhibits this property. The closest
examples I can think of to describe the power of Kundalini are the following: Have you seen the
movie called ABYSS? If not see it. In the deep down of the ocean, the movie
visualizes a coherent wave of water. This water mass, moving snake like, is
fully aware. It is intelligent, conscious. It can understand, imitate and make
faces. It is loving and compassionate. If approached with violence or hate, it
lashes out with tremendous disruptive force. It can raise against gravity. it is
capable of breathing life into a dead person and give the most delightful of
visionary experiences. Its harmony is, to put it mildly, unbelievable. The
supreme harmony stems from its coherence. The second example
I can cite is the not so familiar quantum fluid-liquid Helium II. Forming at
very very low temperatures almost close to absolute zero degrees Kelvin, it
stems from the NON-LOCAL nature of the wave function of the Helium atom. Hence
it tends to de-localize, spread, overlapping other atoms. It is almost as if its
love expanded to include all its neighbors. At low temperatures where disorder
is low, the combined wave function exhibits coherence. It climbs up the walls of
its container, defying gravity, almost like a conscious being. Super
conductivity is also a similar phenomenon, which I won't describe here. The third example
I can think of is the familiar laser beam. One light quantum stimulates another
to be in step with it. Preserving the integrity of the wave is the essence of
the laser beam. Here again the coherence comes through the harmony of the
individual light quanta working together. The fourth example
is that of Holography. A hologram is formed when every element of it contains in
it the information about the whole picture. When we look at
all these examples, one point becomes clear. Coherence is the HARMONIOUS WORKING
OF INDIVIDUALS, AN EXPRESSION OF UNITY IN DIVERSITY. It comes about by merging:
taking a little of the individual and mixing with every other's little, allowing
the whole to work as a single entity rather than a mere sum of parts. It does
not demand individuality to be destroyed; yet it assumes its tremendous impact
by group harmony. Individual letters group into words, sentences, paragraphs,
pages, etc. Each letter has not lost its individuality, but they are able to
convey a message which they are unable to do if they were disordered. A
misplaced letter causes confusion. COHERENCE IS THE MOVEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL TO
THE HARMONIOUS GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS. Each one does exactly what is right. The
notion of right and wrong is then simply definable as coherent or disruptive
action. Coherent,
purposive behavior, not unbridled, random disruptive behaviors; that then is the
life giving, life affirming, life enjoying power of Kundalini. It forces an
individual in a group to behave as a harmonious member of the group. It
demonstrates that whenever there is unity in diversity, the beginnings of life
is there. Life is an organization. Kundalini is the discipline that preserves
the freedom of the GROUP; it forbids action that disturbs harmony, but preserves
total right to purposive, coherent, joyful action. Kundalini is life itself. It
wins life from the random disorder of chaos. When you function
as an individual, you cannot harness much power. When you function as a coherent
group, your arms are multiplied, so you can do more; you eyes are multiplied, so
you can see more; your feet are multiplied, so you can cover more ground; your
minds are multiplied, so you can think more; your capacity to act is multiplied,
so you can achieve more. Coherent knowing, coherent doing in the harmony of a
continuum of goals has this power. we will close for now with this following
example: Have you been to
Puttaparthy? When Swami comes, Sai Ram, there is a hushed silence falling over a
crowd, even it is a 100,000 strong. All minds are still, all are concentrated on
looking at Swami. No doubt, some small ripples of thought arise, like, for
example, "I want Swami to look at me." They pass without causing
incoherence. This is the miracle of group Kundalini, all tuned by the trigger,
Sai Ram. All satsangs, bhajans are the tuning process for the family of Sai
devotees to happen. So, if Sai, meaning the assembly, expresses a wish to build
a hospital, 50 Crore Rupees pour in from a million Sai Ram. That is Kundalini
working. |
