Now in all of you Mahalakshmi principle has been awakened. Mahalakshmi resides in the Sushumna nadi and Sushumna is developed only up to a point in human beings. It is later on, like a bridge built in, is created by Mahalakshmi principle; that means a person who is satisfied, who is in balance, who is dharmic: his ocean becomes desirous of becoming the clouds of this Sushumna nadi or the path of Sushumna. This desire creates this path, this bridge of Sushumna within us.
Unless and until Mahalakshmi principle is awakened within us, we cannot make the Kundalini pass properly because it will always get lost in the Void. So the dignity, the respect of a Sahaja Yogi will always help him to build this path of Sushumna over the Void. It is not some sort of an artificial respect, or an artificial etiquette, but is a feeling from inside, a kind of a state human beings reach where they feel that it is important that we have to be respectful to everybody.
But the Lakshmi principle disappears with certain things which we must know. First of all, it is said in Marathi language, that if a bottle [of alcohol] comes from the door, the Lakshmi goes, runs away from the window. So the bottle must be kept out if you want to keep Lakshmi inside
Then another thing is the ‘badha’. When a person gets possessed anywhere if there is darkness, then Lakshmi runs away. In these circumstances, one must try to clear out so that there is no problem. If there is a ‘badha’, then money-wise you cannot be all right, whatever you may try. These two things if you look after, the Lakshmi will stay. And on the satisfaction of that Lakshmi, you will build up your path of Sushumna.
