Words from the Master

Now we will get into the Swadhishtana chakra which is located 2 inches below the navel.

Swadhishtana means ‘Where your Being is established’ – from swa which means ‘Self’ and adhishtana which means ‘established’.

This chakra is locked by fear, especially the fear of death and it can be made to flower by acceptance of fear; acceptance of Death itself.

(Meditation Technique: Nirbhaya Dhyana - a Tantric meditation)

All our fears are actually fear of death but under various disguises, that’s all. Every single fear of ours is related to the fear of death, but in a convoluted way. Because it is convoluted, we don’t see it as fear of death. Without fear, the word death itself loses the meaning that we have been associating with it.

So what is death?

If I ask you this question, you will tell me, “Swamiji, death is what happens at the end of our lives.” If death were nothing more than that, it would be so easy!

But death is not something that happens at the end of our lives. It is something which is happening every moment of our lives. Every act of ours is unconsciously related to our death, the fear of dying. Death changes the very quality of our life. It is not the end; it is the climax of our lives – towards which our whole life has been oriented.

Why do I say that?
Because our whole life is controlled by our concept of death. Even our social structure is dictated by our concept of death.
