person. They build up from a small bit of anxiety to a bigger anxiety on the basisof a
vicious circle. You break that vicious circle anywhere and the whole thing just dissolves.
Swami Shankardevananda: The longer it is sustained the more difficult it is to break.
Swami Vivekananda: Each chakra has its own work to perform and if one center is
blocked or diseased, then another center takes over its work. Because this work or
function is being done by another center, it becomes perverted. This happens a lot if a
person is inhibited in swadhisthana chakra. Manipura will take over the work and then
the sexual activities will be just a power play, competition and that sort of stuffcompletely
perverted.
This perversion also occurs if manipura chakra takes over the job of anahata. It is seen
in do-gooders, those people who come and force you, almost by threats of violence, to let
them help you.
Swami Shankardevananda: Another example is of those persons who get involved in
a sexual encounter to fulfil the anahata center, and of course they don't get that
fulfillment. This can lead to problems in marriage and all the things you were saying
about perversion of normal function.
Swami Vivekananda: So the purpose of yoga is to balance the functioning of the
chakras and at the same time to awaken the associated energies. Then and only then can
we function as joyful, spontaneous human beings, without depression, psychosis or
physical problems. Only when we balance and awaken all the chakras can life become
meaningful.
