The secret time cycle aka gupta kalchakra seems to me to be a game of the subconscious mind. Information related to each organ of man is hidden in the chakra related to it. These are the information of countless past lives, because the bodies of all living beings, their activities, emotions and chakras associated with them are all almost the same, there may be a difference in quantity or shape. By meditating on the chakras, that information keeps on appearing and disappearing in direct or indirect form. When the gross mind is purified, then man himself turns to Chakrasadhana to purify the subtle mind. Just as the state of the gross mind keeps changing every moment with time, similarly the state of the subtle subconscious mind also keeps changing, because the subtle mind is a reflection of the gross mind, but we cannot see it. That is why it is called Gupta Kalachakra. Meaning that even if the subconscious mind is completely cleaned, there is no guarantee that it will not become dirty again. The practitioner will continue to feel the energy level of all the chakras changing. Nothing can escape the blows of time. Therefore, it is best to accept whatever is there while remaining equanimous and unaffected in every situation. This is vaikalpik kalchakra. This seems to me to be the main objective of Guptakaalchakra Sadhana.
Kundalini Shakti creates the universe, whatever it is said does not mean that it creates physical and gross celestial bodies like planets, stars etc. in space. Rather, it seems to make more sense that it is like the reproductive sexual power that gives birth to a child and creates the entire universe in the form of its body and mind. Although the first statement may also be indirectly true, because what is there in the universe the same is there inside the body, but the second statement appears to be directly, practically and clearly true.
Many people may say that sexual power is for increasing the progeny or lineage, where does Kundalini come from in it. Man can derive any meaning from that power. If we want to know its real purpose then we should see the animals. They do not move according to their thinking or goals but more according to natural inspiration or instinct. The purpose of procreating offsprings is not in their mind regarding sexual intercourse. They are motivated to have sex only to expand their mind which is narrowed in the darkness of ignorance, that too when natural favorable circumstances motivate them for it, even then the desire for this does not arise in them automatically. A buffalo pair will be motivated to do this only when the buffalo is in estrus i.e. in heat which comes for one or two days in a month. Even that heat stops coming in the summer season. Other times, both will not have sexual intercourse even when they are together. But when the buffalo is in estrus, experts believe that the buffalo can travel up to twenty-five kilometers alone in search of the he buffalo, of course she might die on the way. Man is an evolved creature. He knows how to take advantage of natural laws. Tantrayogi is one step further. He lights a small flame in the darkness of the narrowed mind as a meditation image. Then he enhances it so much through sex-assisted yoga that it becomes awakened. This is Kundalini awakening. Now whether you call the mind constricted in the form of meditation picture as Kundalini or the mind constricted in darkness as kundalini. It is the same thing because the same darkness develops through meditation and becomes a meditation picture. The sexual power which gives it the strength to develop, resides in Muladhar i.e. the dark pool or pit or kunda, that is why it is named Kundalini. Meaning, Dhyanachitra got the name Kundalini only when it got the strength of sexual power i.e. semen power. Meaning the word Kundalini itself is tantric. The common man directly interacts with the narrowed mind in darkness or in countless small and sluggish thoughts, due to which that power gets distributed among countless thoughts. Through this he may get worldly expansion or progress, but he gets less benefits of awakening.
When Shakti enters the darkness of the pool of Muladhar, only then the living being gets attracted towards sexual intercourse. A person who always lives in the light of complete knowledge does not feel like having sex. I had a senior foodie and experienced friend who once told me that if I did not eat nonveg, how would I be able to have sex. I could not accept that thing in my mind. Today I am able to understand the Tantra philosophy hidden in his words. Darkness is not created by eating and drinking alone. It is born out of attachment to worldly matters while remaining active. I think the structure of the body is such that as the darkness of the brain or mind increases, the power goes down. Highest or darkest darkness means that Shakti has gathered at Muladhara. It is the blood circulation that naturally keeps gathering downwards. After reaching the perineum, the energy then passes through the back and goes straight to the brain. When power reaches the perineum, it is natural that the sexual organs there will become active. Many exercises, physical activities and Yoga etc. give that power a chance to rise up through back. Many amplifies it at muladhara using Tantrik method and then raise the increased amount, and some even lower it to fall out. Due to the fall of Shakti, Shakti starts accumulating in Muladhara again, which takes more time than before. With good nutrition it accumulates quickly but it can also involve sinful activities. Also, energy is consumed by digestion and assimilation of nutrients causing net loss of life energy. Then it will be like this, running ahead and wide or coiled behind. These simple proverbs have very deep meanings. Chaud or coil means coil of Kundalini serpent. Meaning power sleeps in the form of darkness of sin, although it has been elevated by the power of that darkness itself. But I think that eating and drinking does not cause as much sin as we do through attachment behavior in the world. That is why Shiva, despite looking like a ghost, keeps roaming around looking cheerful, carefree and sinless. But what will happen when a man’s mind or soul becomes so clean that there will be no darkness in it, of course, the power has gone to the Mooladhar. Perhaps then without sex his power would continue to roam like this. He will also have sexual ecstasy and an erection, but he will not be very motivated towards physical intercourse, because he will feel that it is a loss of power, no matter how careful one is. At the time of Shakti in Muladhar, an image of a sensual woman may appear in his mind, and at the time of Shakti in Sahasrara, an image of a Guru or a spiritual person or a loving man may appear in his mind. But he will remain unattached to both and will remain busy in his work, due to which that power will continue to swing in him and he will always remain immersed in bliss.
When the energy goes to the base, there will be a lack of it in the brain, just like when rain water seeps into the ground, the surface pits filled with water will dry up. Due to this, there will definitely be some darkness in the mind, no matter how pure and perfect the person has become. In this corrupt world, no one can be so perfect whose mind is always filled with light. The light in the mind of a common worldly person exists only with the help of energy. Only a very rare saint can be a Sanyasi who has the light without physical energy. Still, complete illumination is possible only in the state of complete liberation, which is not possible while living in the body. How can one remain completely free from vices when associated with a vicious body? How can a person sitting in a bullock cart avoid hiccups? Those who maintain light in their mind without sexual intercourse, have mastered the sattvik techniques other than sexual intercourse, through which the energy of the mooladhara keeps rising up through the back. These are meditation on breath, meditation on body, meditation on present, meditation on chakras with simple or seed mantras, Vipassana, Devpuja etc. For example, meditating on the Bija Mantras on the Chakras opens the life force, opens the breath, increases the consciousness and the brightness of the mind’s thoughts, increases the intellect, and exerts upward contraction force on the Muladhara. Whether the glow is inside or outside the body, it comes with energy only.
Mental darkness is also of two types. One is darkness caused by eating, drinking, physical labour, sleep, rest etc. There is a lot of energy in the body, but it is lacking in the mind, because the consciousness of the mind is suppressed due to violence, intoxication, sleep etc. and the illusion of worldly attachment accompanied afterwards with loneliness. The meaning is clear that when it is not in the brain, then it is concentrated in the realm of Muladhara. There are only two main areas of the body. One is of Sahasrar and the other is of Muladhar. If the energy is not in one realm then it is natural that it will be in another realm. If the coin does not come up with head then only tail will come up, there is no other option. In such a situation, tantric sexual intercourse is beneficial. The second type of darkness is that in which there is lack of energy in the entire body. This is a condition like illness or depression or fatigue or weakness. That’s why one doesn’t feel like having sex. If one does, he may fall ill, because first of all, there is already a lack of energy in the body, and on top of that, one is also wasting energy in sexual intercourse. Everyone knows that water in the rooftop tank of the house helps in completing many tasks of life. But energy is also required to raise the water to the roof and there should also be water in the underground tank. If one runs the pump in a dry tank or at low voltage, the pump will definitely get damaged. By the way, there is also a saintly way of Tantric sexual intercourse, due to which minimum energy is consumed and maximum energy goes upwards. It is most important to have energy in the brain, because it controls the entire body. Even if the energy in the lower chakras, especially the bottom two chakras, is somewhat less, there is not much harm.
Many people can talk about how a thought-like creation is created from void of darkness. Darkness itself means subtle or latent or hidden creation. Darkness is not actually void as is often believed. The real zero for Buddhists means the Supreme God. Only two things are required for creation, darkness and power aka shakti i.e. energy. If there is no energy then darkness will not be able to express itself in the form of creation. It is only to express the darkness in the form of a living soul in the form of creation that it gets a body, which provides energy. It is a different matter whether he will be able to nullify that creation through the practice of Yoga or hide it in the same darkness or even more, through attachment to the world, he will convert himself into even greater darkness, for which he will have to take a new birth and a new body. One will get a new body according to your deeds. If good deeds are done then the human body will be found again which will again give the opportunity to bring the universe to zero. If the karma is bad, then by getting the body of an animal, the burden of darkness will be reduced to some extent but it will not be reduced to zero, because animals cannot do yoga. Like this, I don’t know when one will get the chance again. This is what Vedas say.
Scientists have proved through experiments that the same thing happens in the physical universe also. They found that everywhere in space those fundamental particles or waves are present in the form of quantum fluctuations which constitute the universe. Because they are so subtle and unmanifested, they are felt as darkness as they are not grasped. For example, dark energy, dark matter, all this is darkness. When they get energy from somewhere, their vibration starts increasing due to which the creation of the universe or physical substances starts. For thoughts, this energy is obtained from the body, but for the physical creation, where does it come from? There is no clarity and unanimity regarding this yet. Some say that the gravitational waves etc. which are created due to the collision of celestial bodies like black holes and other movements in space, provide that energy. Where there is more movement in space, more stars have been found to be formed. But it is not known from where the energy came for the first movement of space in the beginning of creation. The scriptures say that the sound of Om came from which the creation of the universe began. The sound of Om ॐ is a wave or movement of space. It is possible that it may have started the process of further movements and constructions. The question of where the energy for the movement in the form of OM sound came from remains unanswered. This is perhaps God’s own unimaginable power, the answer to which cannot be found through science except Yoga. If there is no Shakti, then Shiva will remain dark like a dead body, both inside the individual body and also in the macro body in the form of physical creation.
