Differentiating the experiences
You must remember that when you have certain visions and fantastic experiences,
they do not necessarily represent the awakening of kundalini or even sushumna nadi.
They may indicate chakra awakening or they may just be the expression of your
archetypes or samskaras. Because of your sadhana, concentration or one-pointedness, you
may be allowing an outlet for your deep-rooted samskaras to express themselves.
These experiences and those that accompany chakra awakening do not mean anything
when you try to assess them. I will give you an example. Many years ago, I was
meditating on the bank of the Ganga in Rishikesh and suddenly I had a very vivid
experience. I saw the whole earth split into two. It was a very clear vision, and I
remember it even today, but this vision had nothing to do with reality; I just had it. This
was an experience of chakra awakening.
When the actual awakening of kundalini takes place, it is a great event in man's life.
Every experience has a tangible proof, whether it is awakening of extrasensory
perceptions or the awakening of a particular kind of genius. It may be in the form of a
philosophy you are able to deliver to the people, a transformation in the physical
elements of the body that you are able to materialize, or a magnetic influence that you are
able to cast on the masses of people as a politician, musician or saint.
The awakening of kundalini has tangible, positive and concrete proofs. You cannot
believe your kundalini is awakened if you have no proof, because when the awakening of
kundalini takes place, you completely transcend the normal categories of mental
awareness and the scope of your knowledge becomes greater.
A scientist who jumped beyond the mind
There was a scientist named Eddington, and he was observing the determined laws of
electrons and trying to formulate a system, a law. He succeeded, the result being the law
of determinancy.
However, once when he was studying the electrons, his vision changed entirely. He
found that the electrons were behaving in a very anarchical manner.There was no logic,
system or hypothesis behind their behavior. That was his vision, and he called it the law
of indeterminancy.
Once he was asked, 'What is this law which you have discovered behind the
mathematical and logical behavior of electrons?' He replied, 'It cannot be explained.'
Someone asked, 'How can you say that a movement in matter cannot be explained?'
Eddington answered, 'It can be explained if you can jump over the mind.'
