We are here for that: to be one with God, to be [in] union with His Power, to be his instruments. And how our connections get loose, and how we can to correct it, we should try to understand that.
First of all, we must realise that you are not to think about it. If you start thinking too much about it, then you have seen that you do something funny which you should not have done.
...
I have seen that though I have told you not to plan it out, not to think about it, still you go on doing it and that is how you get into problems; that by thinking you cannot correct yourself.
...
Your fingers are not so sensitive and the brain leads you to artificiality. So, you are not to use your thinking for correcting your chakras. Now should I write it down in golden words? That, “You cannot think about it and sort it out.” This is one thing people do not understand.
...
Now we have got mantras for different chakras. Every chakra has got a mantra which you know. If you do not know, you should find out. Now, if one chakra is catching, then you work on that chakra only and develop your mantra on that. For example, supposing you have to say something for your heart: then, first of all, you must ask for forgiveness from God. That means your attention has not been so much as it should have been on the Spirit. Or, if you have done any mistakes, ask for forgiveness, you ask for forgiveness. Now, you ask for forgiveness from your heart. Even doing with hand can be artificial, you understand that? It could be just ritualistic – but from your heart. Whatever you have to say, you say it from your heart. Ask for forgiveness from your heart, not [to] think about it. You see, this is the trouble is. If I say something then you start thinking about it, and then you said then, “Now, I have to take out my attention from the centre,” and then you start taking out your attention. You cannot. With your brain, you cannot take out your attention from anywhere. It’s only through your hands, or movement of your hands, or by saying mantras you bring in. Do you understand that point? Absolutely clear-cut.
...
But what you can do is to, when you are saying the mantra, put your attention, without thought, to that particular chakra. So you master that chakra ultimately ...
...
But if you think, then you are catching again the heart much more. You have known that by thinking you catch your right side in the sense that it starts [getting] overactive, it gets over-activated, and left side gets frozen up, by which heart is catching. Your ego develops which engulfs your heart. So the more you think about it, how to correct your ego, the worse you are. You fight it.
So then we know that you have to give a balance, bring down your ego – with your hand, with massaging, you can bring it down, because in your hand it is flowing, whether you are catching or not catching, it is flowing from your hand is there – the flow from your hand is there. You may not even receive from Me but there is flow already started, it’s germinated, little bit is always there. Use that to massage your head, bring down your ego.
Then for heart also, do not think about it but give it, or you put your hand towards it. Direct the vibrations but don’t think at that time. This is the important thing. If you are thinking and directing, it cannot be directed because your attention is engulfed in the thinking process.
