The Secret of
Shakti Power
(Akhand Jyoti Sept.Oct.2005)
The Gayatri Mantra is an invocation to God for
bestowal of sadbuddhi (luminously righteous intellect). This prayer, made with
living faith, fills the devotee�s mind, thoughts and emotions with the inspiration
to follow the righteous path. Contemplation on the essence of this mahamantra
makes the sadhak realize that the world�s greatest wealth and highest success are nothing
but to acquire sadbuddhi. Once he is firmly established in this belief there
arises a strong urge in him to acquire this attribute. This longing generates a
kind of magnetic force in his inner space. Pulled by this force, all the
virtuous traits, thoughts, emotions and inspirations present in the ether
element of the space begin to converge in the devotee�s
soul.
The
science of the magnetic power of thoughts is well known. Thoughts of one kind
attract like thoughts from the etheric space. The indestructible thoughts and
resolves of great souls, both dead and alive, remain in perpetual circulation
in the great void. They infuse the GayatriSadhak
with a rich stock of this divine wealth. The enrichment of this righteous
element in the body greatly changes its normal activities and habits. The
tendency of the sex-organs to wallow in indulgences is slowed down. Bad habits
like gluttony, frequent eating and eating all kinds of food without
consideration for the eatable and the non-eatable gradually diminish. Light and
satwik food starts giving contentment, and rajasik-tamasik items repel.
Similarly, the passions of the sex-organs are tempered by the soothing effect
of refined emotions.
The
mind runs lesser and lesser in the direction of lust and sensuality, and belief
in brahmacarya grows firm. The organs of sex and taste are the two most
powerful sense organs. Their control is essential for integrated development
and health of body, mind and soul. Activities like bathing, sleeping, work and
other daily chores develop authentic simplicity and purity, which in turn
nourish the feeder roots of health, happiness, peace and longevity. In the
mental sphere, augmentation of virtues leads to a gradual reduction in vices
and bad habits. As a result of this mental transformation, many problems and
anxieties that routinely arise in the course of daily life begin to be solved easily.
With the awakening of vivek or subtle discriminative power the ignorance-bred
negativities of anxiety, fear, apprehension, attachment, loss etc. go away.
Absolute
faith in God keeps the citta calm and composed, and one remains happily
unconcerned about the future. Spiritual disposition does not permit indulgence
in sin, injustice and exploitation. Consequently, there is no question of
suffering punishment by either the state or society, or by the Divine Law, or
by self-remorse. Virtues of selfless service, humility, charity, honestly etc.
benefit others, and so the people in general turn grateful admirers and
protectors. There is an effusion of love and contentment in life, which make it
increasingly joyous and happy. In this way, increase of righteous and pious
elements in the physical and mental sphere creates spring-wells of happiness in
both.
