The word
What is this word? The word is a silent, silent commandment. We can call it like that. But
from that word comes – according to Indian philosophy – naad, which is a sound. And
then it becomes the bindu. That means “one” – or you can call it “one small dot.” From
this dot, all these five elements start coming, one after another – light, air, water, fire and
earth.

The Adi Shakti, through Her Mahasaraswati Power, has created them. Before everything
else, the causal essences have been created by Her. And it has started from Her only – from
Her desires, by Her desiring it. It was created for Her and that’s how it was created in the
whole universe.... It was made into the Earth, Moon, Sun and all these things. Actually, it
was Her mere desire which brought forth these things.

We are made out of the elements
You are the supreme thing God has created. You are the supreme-most thing. All the
elements are working in you. There’s no animal in the world who has all these elements
working in such a beautiful fashion. You develop your own will, your own freedom. It’s
such an intricate process which has worked out a human being, which we don’t realize,
where you develop your own will, your own freedom.

The six chakras are created out of these five elements. And these five elements, when they
create the chakras, then they also give us a support to have the Deities in their aasana – a
seat for the Deities to come in. They are important, but if you have to give a Deity a seat,
you do not give some sort of a filthy seat. You give a nice, the best seat.

Into their subtler form
When you get your awakening, when the Kundalini reaches the Sahasrara and opens out
your fontanelle bone area, you become one with the Divine Power. Then this Divine
Power Itself starts flowing through you. A connection is established. She starts flowing
through you, this Shakti. Then, what happens? The subtle part we should understand.
The subtle part is like this: these five elements we are made of, these vibrations, gradually
start breaking into the subtler form of which they are made.

It goes back into its primitive state in the sense that it becomes its causal. You become
your primitive. Or you can say your causal, of which you are made, all your five elements,
express in its causal. But now the causal is aware. That’s the only difference there is. You
become the joy, source of joy and the giver of joy and you yourself enjoy yourself because
your Self is so glorious, so great and so joyous.
