Fearless movement in six cycles/105
have accepted that man is born from monkey, and what did remain if man is born? Man is to be made to take birth from inside as well as from outside. In life where the lamp on the threshold becomes alight, just there humanity is discovered.
All the relationships of 'sadhana', meditation and trance have been connected with a man's inner conscience. That is why a man goes on committing sin from inside. The work, the wrong deeds performed by the body are crimes, not sins, and the things thought of by mind are sins. There is a great difference between sin and crime. Sin is related to mind, and crime is related to body. I thought in my mind that I would slap you. I didn't actually slap, but thought of it, therefore it became a sin, and, if I actually slap you, then it becomes a crime. To think of good is virtue, and to think of evil is vice. Good act performed by the body is a good deed, and a bad deed is a crime. Therefore, law penalises not for sin, but for crime. Religion-meditation give punishment for sins. For religion-meditation, crime has no significance.
In order that man may be connected with the world within, I describe the internal cycles. They are very fine.
If we go on making the internal tendencies from clean to cleaner, then the ascent of the 'Kundalini' (the coil of supreme power within man) would occur spontaneously, since 'Kundalini' is nothing but the sense-body dwelling within this fluid body.
Man has six cycles. Now, we shall try to touch the depths of meditation due to which man remains a man and the monkey inside him dies. It is similar to opening up the petals of one's lotus.
There are six cycles inside a man's body. Before understanding this, please know that there are nine doors in man's body. These nine doors are: two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth, anus and urine tract. Man expels out all the filth of his body through these doors. When we go to a temple we chant 'nissihi''nissihi'. It means, we have come here after having discarded the filth from our mind, through the nine doors. Its original meaning is mental purgation. Spill out the illusion, the evil-machinery from within yourself.
