Saints Truly Said About Kundalini and Sahaja Samadhi
This is not told only by Me. I tell you is told by all the saints of the world. Long time back, I should say Gyandeva in the twelfth century [ie 1200s] and all others who lived there but even before that, Markandaya, he talked about it. We don’t know anything about these people. Then also in the sixteenth century we should say Guru Nanak was there, Kabira was there, all of them have talked about it.
Kabira has said, “Ida, pingala, sukhumana [MEANS Sushumana] nadi”, “Shunaya shikar par anhad baje re.” [LITERAL TRANSLATION At the Peak of nothingness, plays the anhad (Traditional name for Heart Chakra)]. Nobody understood what they were saying and only reading, reading and reading – where will you go?
Adi Shankracharya also asked, “O’ Mother please remove, please somehow or other remove from My mind this kind of ignorance that I have, that I read words, the shabd jalam [MEANS trap of words]. Please remove this shabd jalam.” All of them has said, Kabira had said “padhi padhi pandita murakh bhayee” [MEANS by reading and reading a pandit (man of knowledge) becomes a fool].
So even if you go on reading, it doesn’t work out. So then scientifically or may be intellectually, you may say, “Oh, it’s all nonsense.”
Nobody has gone to find out, is there some truth in what these people have been saying. All these saints, even today, are respected but nobody wants to see what they are saying, saying within the lines. Guru Nanaka has said “sahaja samadhi lago” [MEANS You go into Samadhi spontaneously]. He has said clearly, you get it sahaj, spontaneous, but people should understand that all these rituals and all these adambars [MEANS showing off] of no value which they themselves had denounced.
There have been so many saints during the sixteenth century and they have tried to talk about Kundalini, I must say. But they used to write it in poetry. The reason is, poetry is the safest way otherwise people would have threat them, beaten them, crucified them. So they thought better is not to talk in prose but talk in poetry. And that is being misunderstood. You see, it’s such a misunderstanding coming out of reading without knowledge. So you have to have knowledge first.
