Dhyanalingam
- A Miracle
-
Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
You experience everything through your seeing,
hearing, smelling, tasting and touching. All these sense organs manifest
and enhance the sense of duality in the world. The sense of light and
darkness, the sense of good and bad, the sense of what is pleasant and
unpleasant, everything is more and more established. As you get involved
with the sense perception or as you think and feel life, the duality
becomes deeper and deeper. Now, is there something wrong with the duality
? That is not the point. Without duality there is no creation. Only
because of the opposites, the creation has happened. But to be trapped
within the duality is the problem. If one is limited to the duality, one
does not know the beyond, then it becomes a great limitation on your
life. Duality seems to be the source of all the pleasures in the world.
If there are no opposites there is no pleasure in the world. At the same
time, duality is the source for all sufferings in the world. It is only
because of the opposites that man suffers. So, caught in this pleasure
and pain experience of life, people get wounded with life. Most people
get wounded with life. They do not become wise with life, they become
wounded with life because they are not able to handle the duality of
life nor are they able to transcend the duality of life. Because when
you have limited your experience to your sense perception, you are bound
by the duality, you cannot help it. All these sense organs, seem to be
an access, seem to be a freedom. For example, eyes-your vision seems to
be a freedom for you. If you had no eyes there is no experience of the
outside in many ways. But it is the eye that which is limiting you in so
many ways. Eye is like a window to your body; it is through this window
you are looking out. Now, a window seems to be a great possibility, but
a window is also a limitation for you. If you come totally out of this
limitation, then you will see it is not the eye that sees, it is you who
sees. Eye is only an opening to the world. So, sense perceptions are
just a small opening, at the same time a great bondage within ourselves. The whole process or the whole science of
Dhyanalingam is an establishment of the whole exuberance of the duality
of life. Through the nadis of Ida and Pingala, through the seven charkas
is the wide range of experience, the wide range of manifestation of
life. The many many forms of life, the many many levels of life, many
many ways of experiencing life are there in the world only because of
the duality and the seven charkas of the seven dimensions of life. So, Dhyanalingam is manifested in all these
levels, but the purpose of Dhyanalingam is to help a person to go beyond
the duality. We are not denying the duality. We are not against the
sense perception, but using the sense perception, seeing the limitation
of the sense perception, one needs to go beyond that. So what we call as
Lingam, the word Lingam means a form or the fundamental form. It also
can be interpreted in English as symbol. It is the basic symbol or the
basic form in the existence. When we say Lingam, we are referring to the
most fundamental form, or the first form that can happen in the process
of creation. Just sometime ago I happened to look into the pictures
taken through spacecrafts of certain galaxies. If you look at it
carefully, you will see the very core of every galaxy is in the form of
a Lingam. So, seeing this within ourselves, when you go deep into
yourself the very core form of you is in the form of a Lingam. So, based
on this is the science of building a Lingam exactly to that form and
proportion because that form is a perennial source of energy. Every
other form will dissipate over a period of time. The form that we call
as Lingam is a perennial source of energy, which cannot be destroyed. It
is the fundamental form to the existence. Now, through this
manifestation of Ida and Pingala or Shiva and Shakthi, both the
dimensions of the logical and the intuitive can be enjoyed and
experienced.
