raw. Although, seeing this condition of a vulture, other vultures should have flown away, but they did not fly away, they became stunned. They forgot that they should fly away otherwise their turn may also come. This is the situation : he who wants to uproot others, is binding up ‘Krishna leshya' within himself. He is but lying in the very 'mooladhar' (original base). His ‘Kundalini' does wake-up, but he does not get the benefit of it.
Only then consider the awakening of the 'Kundalini' useful when it enters the heart-cycle. Awaken the 'Kundalini by centralizing the senses, through 'Pranayam' (disciplining of the breath), ‘Yoga', breath-observation; but you must keep in mind one thing that it enters the 'ajnan chakra' (order-cycle). Get across the colours. What the colours are, after all ? Colour means 'raag' (attachment), and different from colours is 'Viraag' (detachment). This is the very meaning of entry into 'sahasrar'.
Colour is the halo of a person. Don't think that the halo is always bright. The senses in which a person lives, the cycles and the ‘leshyas' he touches, determine the colour of his halo. The halo can be blue, it can also be yellow. When you get up in the morning after having slept through the night, look around your body carefully. It will seem to be blackish, soiled, smoky, darkened. The more vigilant a person would be at his 'leshya' centres and sense-centres, the more clearly visible would be the colours of his halo. Only you would be able to see your halo, but where the halo would touch the extremes of its brightness, there it would be visible to others' eyes too.
You must have seen the pictures of the saints. Have you even thought what the round thing visible at the back of their heads is ? That is, in fact, the evidence of the supreme ascent of the Kundalini, the strength of consciousness.
We have to walk on in the brightness of the colours. Thereafter, beyond the colours, in detachment, in the quiet lake of the inner-self. Every life is the image of all the three worlds. You can view the prospect of the world, in the mind of your own self. The portion below the navel is 'adholok' (the lowest world). The
