VI\u015aUDDHA Chakra<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Whoever meditates on this is truly the lord of the yogis and deserves to be called wise; through meditation on this Vi\u015buddha lotus, the yogi immediately comprehends the four Vedas with their mysteries (...). <\/em><\/p>\n

Even if the yogi's mind happens to be absorbed in the Self at that moment, it withdraws from the external world and certainly enjoys the inner world.<\/em><\/p>\n

THE CROWN OF THE WORLD<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Vi\u015buddha is located in the heaven beyond human individuality<\/strong> and represents the first seat of our cosmic identity, which is governed by the power of will, icch\u0101<\/em> \u015aakti.<\/p>\n

Icch\u0101 \u015aakti is like the dove that hovers high in the dome of the church and embodies the final aspect of the Trinity: will, knowledge, and action. This cosmic will<\/strong> (icch\u0101)<\/em> unfolds into an inner Trinity consisting of three further aspects.<\/p>\n

Much like in a kaleidoscope, the holographic nature of reality unfolds, and whatever possesses a trinity below the heart also possesses another one above it\u2014 vi\u015buddha, \u0101j\u00f1\u0101, sahasr\u0101ra.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vi\u015buddha symbolizes the aspect of cosmic fire and the space in which the mind is transformed. When the mind<\/strong> is purified by the power of fire<\/strong>, it can ascend to the heaven of pure understanding, where silence reigns and the clouds of thought have dissipated. Here, in the space of stillness, truth unfolds. This cosmic fire,<\/strong> which radiates from the throat when the ma\u1e47ip\u016bra chakra<\/em> is purified, is Mah\u0101 K\u0101l\u012b, the supreme and eternal K\u0101l\u012b. <\/p>\n

Vi\u015buddha is governed by the fifth element, which encompasses the powers of the other four elements. To live in vi\u015buddha, therefore, means to possess power over the elements and, consequently, over the entire world. <\/p>\n

While ma\u1e47ip\u016bra embodies power over the material aspect of the world, vi\u015buddha represents mastery over the mind and, thereby, over the Self. Once the Self has been mastered and one can rest in one\u2019s own stillness, there are no longer any obstacles on the path to self-realization. The only enemy that must be defeated is oneself. Once this is achieved, the final barrier to the heaven of knowledge<\/strong> opens .<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Consciousness at the level of vi\u015buddha<\/em> makes it possible to transform what was once considered toxic into nourishing nectar. Obstacles become opportunities. The power of wisdom makes it possible to transform life\u2019s challenges into a new beginning and greater vitality. This power of wisdom, which is foreign to the ordinary mind, underscores the superior, even cosmic, nature of vi\u015buddha.<\/em> \u015aiva, sometimes known as N\u012blaka\u1e47\u1e6dha, the Blue-Necked One, symbolizes the ability to transform the greatest poison into personal wisdom. <\/p>\n

Vi\u015buddha means \u201cpurity\u201d and is the seat of the realized Self, which can be experienced when the mind is transformed by the power of the heart. It is the place where one\u2019s true nature unfolds completely and without compromise, like a master on his throne. This nature is boundless bliss, a presence that fills space, just as space permeates everything. <\/p>\n

When vi\u015buddha<\/em> permeates life, our true nature<\/strong> manifests as the vibration<\/strong> with which we permeate the world. On an individual level, this vibration is the tone of one\u2019s own voice.<\/strong> The sound of your self is therefore an indicator of how deeply you rest in your true essence; it is the music of the dance around your own center. <\/p>\n

And yet, just as the essence of vi\u015buddha<\/em> sound is space, so too is the essence of every word ultimately the silent space in which it is embedded. The power of words lies in their silence, not in the word itself. This silence is the essence of the meaning of words,<\/strong> which expresses the space beyond conception. <\/p>\n

It is there, in silence, beyond words, that understanding takes place.<\/em><\/p>\n

The word alone is spirit, concept, form, but the silence between them is insight beyond the conceptual; it is the word\u2019s inner meaning. Just as a word is powerless without its meaning, so too is language powerless without the silence that accompanies it. <\/p>\n

So when you speak, choose your words as if they were nestled in silence, and in this way honor the great vi\u015buddha, the seat of wordless, profound inner understanding.<\/p>\n
