First body or chakra
The chakra of the physical body is the Muladhara. This is the first chakra and it has an integral connection with the physical body. The Muladhara chakra has two possibilities. Its first potential is a natural one that is given to you by birth; its other possibility can be attained through meditation. The basic natural quality of this chakra is the sex urge of the physical body. The very first question that arises in the mind of the seeker is what to do regarding this basic urge. Now, there is another possibility of this chakra, and that is brahmacharya, celibacy, which is attainable through meditation.
Second body or chakra
The second body is the emotional or etheric body. The second body is connected to the second chakra - the swadhishthan chakra. This also has two possibilities. Its natural potential is fear, hate, anger, and violence. All these states, these qualities, emanate from the natural potential of the swadhishthan chakra. If a person stagnates in the second body, then the opposite qualities needed for transformation - love, compassion, fearlessness, friendliness - do not arise.
The obstacles on the meditator’s path at the second chakra are hate, anger, and violence, and the question is of their transformation. Here too the same mistake is made. One person can vent his anger, another can suppress his anger. One can just be fearful; another can suppress his fear and make a show of courage. But neither of these will lead to transformation.
Third body or chakra
The third is the astral body. This also has two dimensions. Primarily, the third body revolves around doubt and thinking. If these are transformed doubt becomes trust and thinking becomes Vivek, awareness. If doubts are repressed you never attain to shraddha, trust, though you are advised to suppress doubts and to believe what you hear. He who represses his doubts never attains trust, because those doubts remain repressed inside him. His doubt will creep within like cancer and eat up his vitality. Beliefs are implanted for fear of skepticism.
You will have to understand the quality of doubt, you will have to live with it and go along with it. Then one day you will reach a point where you will begin to doubt doubt itself. The moment this happens, trust arises. You cannot reach the clarity of discrimination without going through the process of thinking. Some people do not think and people encourage them not to think. They say, “Do not think; drop all thoughts.” He who stops thinking lands himself in ignorance and blind faith. This is not clear. The power of discrimination is gained only after passing through the most subtle processes of thinking.
Fourth body or chakra
The fourth plane is the mental body or the psyche, and the fourth chakra, the Anahata, is connected with the fourth body. The natural qualities of this plane are imagination and dreaming. This is what the mind is always doing: imagining and dreaming. It dreams in the night and daydreams in the daytime. If imagination is fully developed, that is to say, if it is developed to its fullest extent, completely, it becomes determination, and will.
^If dreaming develops fully it is transformed into vision - psychic vision. If a man’s ability to dream is fully developed, he has only to close his eyes and he can see things. He can then even see through a wall. At first, he only dreams of seeing beyond the wall; later he sees beyond it. Now he can only guess what you are thinking, but after the transformation, he sees what you think. Vision means seeing and hearing things without the use of the usual sense organs.
Fifth body or chakra
The fifth chakra is the Vishuddhi chakra. It is located in the throat. The fifth body is the spiritual body. The Vishuddhi chakra is connected to the spiritual body. The first four bodies and their chakras were split into two. The duality ends with the fifth body. The difference between male and female lasts until the fourth body; after that, it ends. If you observe very closely all duality belongs to the male and the female. When the distance between male and female disappears, at that very point all duality ceases.
The fifth body is non-dual. It has only one possibility, not two. Hence the meditator need not make much effort here, because there is nothing contrary to development; one has only to enter. By the time you reach the fourth body, you develop so much capability and strength that it is very easy to enter the fifth body. In this case, how can you tell the difference between a person who has entered the fifth body and one who has not?
Sixth body or chakra
The sixth is the brahman sharira, the cosmic body, and the sixth chakra is the Agya chakra. Here, there is no duality. The experience of bliss becomes intense on the fifth plane and the experience of existence, of being, on the sixth. Asmita (Ego) will now be lost. Even “I am” will vanish, only is-ness will remain. The “I” will vanish at the fifth body and “am-ness- will vanish as you go beyond the fifth. The “is-ness” will be felt; tathata, suchness will be felt.
Nowhere will there be the feeling of “I” or of “am”; only that which remains. So here will be the perception of reality, of being - the perception of consciousness. But this consciousness is free of you; it is no longer my consciousness. It is only consciousness - no longer your existence, but only existence.
Seventh plane
Nirvana, as mentioned previously, means the extinction of the flame. That which was “I” is extinct; that which was “am” is extinct. But now you have again come into being by being one with the all. Now you are the brahman, and this too will have to be left. He who is ready to take the last jump knows both existence and nonexistence.
