Let us just look 10 another n!iptcl, which is kno..... n n~

while in lhe mother'. womb. He i. closed from all sides <lnd
lies wilh he-ad downward. and legs upwards - no room to move
the arms and legs - and no fresh air to breathe. J( the mOlher
uses $Ome hot or hard food, it troubles the womb baby most.
This condition continues for full nine months. e.. ell when born
he has to depend on olhers for the feed. cleanliness and olher
requirements for many )'ean to come, till be begins to express
the nceds and later bej!101 to ~rfonn all duties and get the
requirements himself. The trouble to the baby at the time of
birth is again such that we will shudder iI we place ourselves
in these circumstances.
lJesides so many other miseries in Ihis world, if only
these two instance' of pain, trouble and helplessness are con­
sidered, it sbould be cnough for a sensible human being to
open his eyes and to understand how important and urgent
it is for him to get rid of all this trouble, which is scheduled
to be repeated again and ."ain in the routine course of time,

Naturally, the question arises. wht'ther there is It way

There are leachers in thi" world. who tench lan~ual!lc~.

purpose. They stay a, human being,; like you and me, but are
endowed Wi.ll /lpeclal powers to carry on with the sacred
mission of '"IiI'erating peoplc·'. They are also be~towed :with
powers to create a ,eose of search for the TRUTH in people,
and to help them in realiSing the TRUTJI which means the
MASTFR OF ALL CREATION. Saints have givcn tbe name
of SATGURU to such a unique teacher.
It is, or course, very very difficult to find Irue and rcal
SATGURU, hocause there are so many imposters in the field
posing as SATGURUS, that it is ordinarily not pouible lor
an average man to distinguish between a true and n fake saint.

Due to gross and .uhtle coverings of maya over i', caused by
its own ~ood and bad deeds, it has become weal.. The Ma)'a
docs nOI allow it to shed these coverings and brcome one ""th
the supreme 10UI. In the proce' of this struggle, it has lost
its initial st,ength. which IS immeasurable. It is only the Sat

CHAPTER - II
The First Six Chakras of Pinda ­
Ihc Physical Body
1. The Guda Chakra ­
(1J:G:T-if~)
The first chakra from below is Guda Chakra (~~T;:r"f.).
It is located on the rectum. Its cL'lour isred. The lotus
here has four petals. The r~citation to subdue this chakra
is Kling (f~'~qf") . 1 he deity is lord Ganesh (mif;n-) whose
body is red. He is known as the deity of KARMA (:~+f) i.e.
action. Its function is I limination. The clement prominent
he-re is earth (mud). Whatever is ejected out of it, turnS­
into mud. The de-ity Ganc~h stays here with his two cons
orts (wivesl Riddhi and Siddhi (~f.1i 'C!;cf ftl'f;G) .
Lord Ganesh is considered by the Aryans- now iindus­
as the deity to be worshisped first of all to begin any kind
of sacred work. Tn ea~e the idol or picture of Lord Ganesh is

action of the rectum, of which the elimination is (or is turned
into) mud. Riddhi means abundance & Siddhi means invisible
power. By the worship of this deity, we are supposed to have
no disturbance or obstacles in the work being commenced.
We al'lo entertain Riddhi, the Goddess of abundance and

abundance a'Jd also gets invisible powers, which stay with the
deity Ganesh. The recitation 'KLING' is recited to subjue
this chakra.
The mode of subduing this chakra has also been given
by the saints and is Jescribed in the paras that rollow.
The fore-most requirement to control lhe mind is to
control the five enemies. They are Kama (f.rli) lust, Krodha
("f.Ta-) Anger, Lobha (<11<1)- Grc;,:d, Moha (lCr'TQ)-Attachment
and Ahankaar ('J;f~f'fin::) -- Ego.
1. KAMA ('liTlf)­
The first enernv to be conquered for the control of the
mind, is kama -LUS r. The desire for sex is to be abandoned
a1-together. Do not see any woman with a lu,tlul eye. A lust­
ful man can not concentrate his mind, nor he can stick firmly
to lhe divine na;nc through which the lls~~nt to 11lgher leve:ls

The next is Krodha-anger. When angry. a man loses
his babnce of mind and also his pow~r of discrimination, and
commits even henious acts. It helps Kama in spreading the
flow of SURAT (attention) to the lower regions. already
pulled down by Kama (lnst).
3. LOBHA (m\T)­
The third is lobha- greed- the desire or want for worldly
objects. When one want (or set of wants) is satisfied, another
set of wants arises, and the circle of multiplication of wants
ever goes on increasing and the man never feels satisfied, A

hard winters. Some invisible powers (Siddhies) arc also earned
by them and they demonstrate them, either for dislinclion and
fame or for earning a livin!!. These powers (Siddhiero), when
misu!led for such purpose, do not stay long with them and they
have to make repeated alternpts to retain or rcobtain them.
BUI tho!le who, do not use them for such worldly purposes,
but utilise them for their own spiritual developments, make

the sexual org~n. The colour of th~ lot liS here is hlack mixed
with light white (or sny bl<lck), It has six petals. The Deity of
the chakra is Lord BRAHMA (;;r~TT) the deity of creation,

named as 'Kundalini'. Life descends through thsi very nerve

Yogies more Siddhies are automatically developed in them.
They can perform any kind of wonder. As a rule such powers
are lost a Itomatically by misuse. I he true devotees do not
worry fOI ~uch p0wers, and are always cautious not to utilise
tbem fLlr any purpose, whatsoever.

1 he third of the chakras from below is NABHI. Tt is

7. THE SAHASl RA-DAL-KAMAL
("l'" .,. ""',)
The nexi Chakra now rCAched, is the Sahastra Dnl Kamal
the lotus of thousand petlh. It is scventh from belowanr!
i~ located above the AlI.g}n Chakra towards the bacl side' of
the head. The light herc is very profuse and dazzling, a... if
thousands of lamp~ are sheddmg their light. 1 he thousand
petals of the lotus nre emiting and spreading light all round,
nnd transmitting power for the maintenance of the three loku
of tlte pinda through the Aagya Chnkra.
Ten kinds of tunes llre being played here. Their sound is
very attractive and re!emblcs Ihnt of gongbclls and conohes.
With the help of this very louod, the soul crOSSeS the lOwer
Tellioos to reach this stage. The Deity of this Chakra is Lord
Triloki Natha (r".ll'l{)~) tbe master of the three lokas. He
is also named as Niralljana (f;r{S;jf;{).

8. THE TRIKUTI
(f':fi \)
The next to the Sahastra Oa! Kamal is tbe Trik\l'i,
eighth from below-a lotus of f, ur pelals with red light, like
tll!!.lof the rising sun. The recitation is 'OM' Nr-g:) and the
sweet sound of Mridao{!D. (~<:~) and of low thunder
recite the WOrd OM continuously. The element prominent
here is a mixture of waler, air and fire in an .lbslract form,
the location is above Ihe Sahasra-Dal-kamal.
The way to Triluti is very very narrow and passes
through II curved tubf', which the saints call Bunkanal
(~) meaning a curued passage. According to the medical
view, there is a semi-circular nerve in the inner part below the
two eyes by which the two eyes are connected at the upper
end. It has its own light. It is (,. nown as Optic Nerve. If
this is disturbed or there be any obstruction in it, the sight
is lost. The saints have possibly Darned Ihis very nerve as
Bunkanal (~;:friif). The new moon-being semi-eircular
is a metaphor for the Bunkani:ll. Similarly the diamond
studded bow of Lord Shiva (reference the Ram!l.yana) being
semi-circular is also a metaphor for the Hunkanal.

The Mother Nature, directs th.: functioning of the

to thi, RhnvaS8E!Sr (1f<fflrn) - Ihe sea of misr.ries viz,
this world nf ours. Hc goes on travelling upwards and asccnds
higher and higher from this very place.
The place of Trikuti is the treasure of all knowledge.
All creation below this Trikuti is destroyer! at Ihe lime of
J rlllayn (ll\,<l) - the deluge. 1 he souls reaching here
conlinue to progress onwards like the rising suo. The

beyond this is Parbrahm {lfltJtP'}. The 'iiectet of opening

the secret 10 the disciple. He opens this gate. offers darshao

On whom he is kind. Kashri means where the Sat-Guru has
used his own rower in lining the diciple 10 this stage and
offering dar~hiln. and without imolving Ihe effort 00 the part

CHAPTER V
'fIlE SPEfD OF ASC EN
According to the saints, all this creal ion from first to
the last, eighteen! h, Chak ra, o:ists in the human body. The
highest stage can be reached by the man during his life time,
hy a compkte surrender to the Sat-Guru. The need of Satguru
is apparent, for he has passed through these stages and
reached the highest, by his own efforts, and is conversant with
the secrets of the MANDALS (~) or Centres the inner
stag tS of ascent. He is also competent to help the aspirants to
reach the higher stages. The saints are the only secret-knowing
Gurus and unless the secret is learnt from them, the higher
stages cannot be reached.
The mother NATURE (Maya, as we caB it in Sanskrit).
the power of the initial CKEATOR, (is I the greatest of the
craftsmen (say crafts-woman) l:md bas created the body of man
with g.reat wi~dom and in such a form that the shadow of the
six chakras of Brahmanda (and par-Brahm) falls on the lower
chakras of the Annda nnd it is further reflected from tbe six
chakras of Annda on the lower six chakras of the pinda-the
phy~ical body, Thus the strength of functioning of the lower
chakras is obtained from the next six chakra~ above.
According to the saints, the upwards movement in the
~ant-Mat (~Fn-IH;T)-lhe way of ascent of the saints has
been divided into four kinds: ­
{I) nH]:L1KA (fq'.iH~{'f.r) -that of an ant-a creeping
iusect,
Chaprer-V
67
(2) MAKARI (1Tll1T) -that of spider,
(3) MEEN (U'1) -that ofa fish, and
(4)VIHANGUM (f<f~lIl1l{) -tha.t or a bird.
The'surat' (soul) startbg from the lower chakras of
pinda takes a lot of time and energy to ascend. because man's
mind IS badly entangled ill the bonds of worldly attachments.
1 hc~e attac'hmenl do nol aliow the aspirant to proceed on the
path of r ARMAR 1 I-JA (rn:+lT~)-the grca!cst goal. He tries to
!!n upwards LUi the storms (diIUrbances) cause hiS JownfalJ. He
trics again, hut again falls down, and in this way the cycle of
,1scents and fa lis continues. Later. by the gra~e and help of the
Sat-Guru, he transcends the lower chakras SOme day. Because of
the slow sJ=ecd of ascent and rep~ated falls, like that of an ant,
which does not lo~e courage at any stag~ whatsoever, this path
IlaS been named as PI PEELJ KA MARG (Fpft/1:r<ti'l-llTljo).
P ipeeJika means an ant in Sanskl it.
The neXl is t.he Makari Marg CI1<ti'~~n;f). Makari (l{~T)
means a ~pider. When the surat rises over the six chakras or
the pincla, its speed becomes that of a spider. A spider descen­
ds from the ceiling above to the ground with the help of the
thread produced in the mouth and after picking up its prey,
ascendl; up to the ceiling with the help of that very thread.
The aspirant obtains this vcr~ stage after ascending above the
lower six chakras, which he had gone throu~h by the Pipeelika
margo Then the shackles of th<: world do not bind him so fast,
and he become ip.depcndcnt in his <'etion. The ascent above
the Aagya Chakra up to Trikuti tseventh and eighth from the
I~elow) fall& under this Makari Marg,
On reachrng Trikuti, the speed of ascent become like that
or a fishin known as MEEN MARG (;fA ;rTfT). Meen (l{T"f)
68 The Secret of Realisation
means fish in Sanskrit. The fi~h ascends against 1 he current of
water for hundereds of miles. Water is its element and it has
love for water. Similarly the surat ascends with the speed of a
fish, of course, with the assistance of the Guru and along with
the current of the Shabda ('!1T~). This speed continues till
the soul crOS'ies the DASHAMDWAR (~!1Tl{ irr~) the tenth
gate.
Beyond Dashamdwar, the speed of ascent become that
of VEHANG UM (f'l~~) - meaning a bird. The seat, rather
horne of the saints is in Sachkhand, which is also termed as
DAYAL DESH (~~r~ ~'!1T)-the home of The Kmd) by the
saints. They have the power to descend from Sachkhand at
their discretion for completing their assignment in the world
and go up to their home above, just as a bird flies down from
the top of the hill and flies back to its home OD the top of the
hill.
According to Saint Kabir, (the first of the saints to
declare categorically the stages of upliftment of the soul to
the highest level of spiritual consciousne~8.) the ruo\ements
of ~aints (the Sat-Guru) is like that of a bird. Their way is the
SHABDHA ('!1Ta) the divine name, and their place of abode
is beyond pinda (physical) and Anda (Ethereal and Subtle),
that is the Sat Loka or Saehkhand and beyond, that the
Sal - GUIU hal' given them the keys of the d00rs to Sachkhand.
lhe key dcnoles the SHABDHA - the divine name, given by
the Sat-Guru. and with the resound of the Shabdha. the doors
are flung open for entry in the Daal Desh - the home of the
kiud.
CHAPTER VI
CONCLUSION
(~q«~~)
From the foregoing description of the stages of ascent of
the soul from its grossest form of its present existence in this
pllysi,;al world, to the subtle and most abstract and minute
stage of life, it will be seen that the way to acend tbe hights
of consciousness, is not simple and C.lS y, and that it cannot be
achieved without the guidance of one, who knows the secrets
of the stages of ascent. It will also he sean that ~he saints,
who arc the only secret knowing persons, are conversant wIth
the way and are competent to lead people to the higher stages
of consciousness. The need of the guide, the Sat-Guru is,
therefore, apparent and indispensable for an aspirant. It is
not possible to get this guidance from the books.
Because these heights cannot be reached by any other
means-physical or otherwise, and also because one has no
knowledge of the ups and downs of the stclges, as also means
and ways of ascent to them, we have to approach an expert for
his advice and help. This expert is only One whom the saints
give the name of Sat-Gur ....
It might have also been seen by our readers, as to how
important it is for everyone of us to get himself relieved of the
scheduled repetition of pain and misery in birth, sickness, old
age and death, every time our return to this earthly life, in any
'orm whatsoever, an insect. a reptile. an animal, a bird or even
human being. Un~ess the standud of the soul is raised from
70 Ctapfer VI
gross and even subtle levels, the relief is not possible. This
rising from lower gross and subtle levels is only possible when
we are in the human body. All Yonies (tiff'flH) other than ihat
of human being, are BHOG YONIES ('IlI'1' ll1f'1~f), in which the
soul has to nndergo sufferings as a re,ult at' the p 'st deeds and
it eann01 do an,·thing else to imorove Its Jot. The Yoni of a
man is both KARMA YONI ('f;.q ~Tf'f)-i.e. of aClIon, as will
as RHOG YON I ('11'1' r.hf'1) i e enjoying the results of the good
or bad deeds. If ore was cs his present time and lets the human
body be destroyed in due course, as is usual in most cases. his
turn for the human being may come after a continued suftering
for years and years-may be hundreds and even thousands of
years, or more. The circumstances when he may t;omc to the
human hrdy. mayor may not be favourab'e to him for raising
himself from gross levels, The saint" therefore advise every
human being, without distinltion of caste, creed, nationality,
language etc, etc. not to waste any more time-so preciolls,
which is now available to him, but to lit li~e it in ascending from
the gross levels and get relieved of the reperition of pain and
misery for good. A search fOl a suitable guide, a Sat-Guru
for the purpose, shall be necessary and this search may be
commenced immediately with per~ever,tnce and determination.
The saints say tha~ if an aspiJant goes out for the search
of a Sal-Guru with all sincerity at his command God Alml~
ghty comes to his help and makes available the Sat-Guru to
him. Wh~n this Sat-Guru is obtained and accepled, he (he
aspirant) should act on his advice and guidance, He will have
to depend on him (the Sat-Guru). because the Sat-Guru knows
the way leading above the gross levels which neithe the aspi­
rant knows. nor it is given in any book available to humanity
till now. The ultimate stage of complete surrender to the
Sat-Guru will automatically come and the aspirant will be
convinced before-hand that this surrender will bring hIm the
richest reward.

b'eings are not similar and diffoer from person to person. The
'circumstances in which they are pbced are also not similar.
It is therefore, not necessary that each and every aspirant may

~he sh.'.>rt span of his life. There are So many hurdle" obs­

him across the initial gross levels atleast, and relieve him of

uspirant) will nol re1urn tlJ this earth f,.r the sufferings. This
is possible if nne crosses the first six chakras and rt:,aches
beyond the AagY1 Chakra- sixth from below. For journe
beyond, the same Sat-Guru will be availallle to him, who will
