________________
focus your consciousness upon the energy centres of the body, then you can achieve spiritual perfection and realize your deepest potentials.* If you concentrate upon the third eye center, you will get divine wisdom and infinite consciousness just as Lord Parsva possessed it; and if you concentrate upon the heart center, you will get the power of love, truth and nonviolence just as Christ possessed it; and if you concentrate upon the solar plexus region, you will get the perfect energy and blissful consciousness that Bala Tripur Sundri possessed. Infinite wisdom, infinite love, and infinite bliss are among the highest states of consciousness when you fully experience your divine Self.
* [The energy centers are usually seven. They are located at : the tip of spine, the genital region, the solar plexus, the heart, the throat, center of the forehead, above the crown of the head. They symbolize ( from the tip of spine ) : survival, pleasure, work, compassion, creativity, understanding, freedom, in their gross and subtle forms of ordinary experience.
When any one of these centers is activated through the various means of education, healing, and self-realization, a person experiences the greater freedom or learning of the Self. The chakras are ultimately connected to the Self or an extremely super-subtle dimension of reality that cannot be intellectually understood. Editor.]
