attained a higher frequency vibration and as a result of that he was sensitive to the bird's
pain and was manifesting compassion.
Therefore, the higher qualities of a man, such as love, compassion, charity, mercy, etc.
are the expressions of a mind which is influenced by awakened chakras. This is precisely
the reason why so much importance is given to the awakening of anahata chakra. Of
course every chakra is very important and each chakra confers certain abilities, but you
will find that all the scriptural texts place great emphasis on the awakening of anahata,
ajna and mooladhara chakras. Yogis emphasize ajna and mooladhara chakras and all
mankind gives emphasis to anahata chakra. When anahata is awakened we have a
sublime relationship with God, with our family members and with every being.
When the chakras are awakened the mind automatically changes. Your values in life
also change and the quality of your love and relationships improve immensely, enabling
you to balance out the disappointments and frustrations in life. Therefore you are able to
live a little higher than you do now, and your attitude towards yourself and towards this
life is much better.
If awakening of the chakras can bring about unbreakable unity in your family, what
more do you need? Do you need a happy family or another husband or wife? Frankly,
man needs a happy mind and a happy family. It doesn't matter what he does or what his
children are. Does it really matter if there's little to eat? Happiness and inner contentment
are above all. And as far as I can see, true contentment can only be gained by a
systematic awakening of the chakras.

Ajna Chakra
Our reflection on the psychic centers begins from ajna chakra. According to tradition,
mooJadhara is generally designated as the first chakra since it is the seat of kundalini
shakti. However, there is another system in which consideration and study of the chakras
commences from ajna.
Ajna chakra is the point of confluence where the three main nadis or forces - ida,
pingala and sushumna merge into one stream of consciousness and flow up to sahasrara,
the crown center. In mythology, these three nadis are represented by three great rivers -
Ganga (ida), Jamuna (pingala) and Saraswati (a subterranean current which represents
sushumna). They converge at a place called Prayag or Triveni, which is near present day
Allahabad. Hindus believe that every twelve years, when the sun is in Aquarius, if one
takes a dip at the point of confluence, he or she will be purifiedю This place of
confluence corresponds symbolically to ajna chakra.
