Layayoga: The Definitive Guide to the Chakras and Kundalini (41 page)

The nadi-field has been created by the matterfree wayu-force-motion-lines. The wayu-forces are in motion in this field, and gliding as piṅgala-current to vitalize the material body on the one side, and, on the other, as ida-current it makes the mind operate. There is a central power-line called sushumna which exercises its control over ida and piṅgala flows, and in which the centralization of the wayu-forces has occurred. The wayu-forces are constantly oozing from the sushumna centres causing the ida-piṅgala currents. In these centres, the centrifugal wayu-forces can be controlled and harmonized, and can also be stopped.

The basic part of the sushumna centres are tanmatra-mahabhuta forces. Each centre consists of two parts—the centre itself and a peripheral aspect. The centre is an infinitesimal point which, from a material point of view, is zero. This point in the substratum is a power concentrated to its highest degree, which arises from the primary inertia-principle (tamas), and is called tanmatra-force. This force is in the nature of germ-mantra. The tanmatra-force, being transformed into mahabhuta-force, appears as circular radiant energy emitting certain matrika-units. This is the peripheral aspect. This is a sushumna centre and is termed chakra. There are five lower chakras in the sushumna which are formed of tanmatra-mahabhuta forces. The chakras are stabilized by the tanmatra-mahabhuta forces, because of their inertial nature. The inertia! factor is more pronounced in prithiwi (earth metamatter)-force, wave character in ap(water metamatter)-force. brilliance and power in tejas (fire metamatter)-force, and highly purified energy is in wayu(air meta-matter)-force. The akasha(void)-force is the base.
