1991-02-16 four petals open (Mahashivaratri Puja, Chianciano Terme, Italy)

...Fourth one is the most important for all of us is to know that there’s a nadi which passes through left Vishuddhi into the heart. Starts from the heart, goes up, passes through Agnya. It has four petals, and opens up. This is the one which gives you the state which is called as turya. We live in three states. In the living -- in the awakened state, jagruti, our attention goes to this, that, and all that; we spoil our attention. But the second one is the one what we call is that we sleep. When we sleep also all these things that have happened come to us from our past and things like that. But then we go to the deeper sleep called as sushupti.

They come from your heart to your brain. And that is when you absolutely understand what is God, absolutely know what is God is. That is the time when one receives the real knowledge. But unless and until these four petals open, one may fall back, and that’s why some of the Sahaja yogis who are still meddling with things that they should not do, go down. And they don’t understand what is God is. But it’s not the understanding -- in a way you understand this one little point, that it comes from your heart into your brain, not from brain to your heart.
