1. Is it not called crossing the Anahata cakra when the mother of Shankara allowed Him for propagation of knowledge?
[Smt. Anita S R asked: Swamiji Shatakoti Pranamamulu🙏🙇♀️🙏 Guru Datta Sri Sri Prabhu Datta 🙇♀️🌺
Q1)Swamiji You have stated many a times that till now nobody crossed the Anahata chakra. But, with the permission of His mother Sri Shankaracharya left home for Propagation of Spiritual Knowledge. Even from mother’s side too we see the sacrifice of her son for the noble divine cause. Is it not called crossing the Anahata chakra? Do clarify my doubt and remove my ignorance.]
Swami replied:- She agreed for the Samnyaasa (renunciation) of Shankara because Shankara told her that if she does not agree to His orange robe, the crocodile will kill Him. Aspiring for the life of Shankara, the mother agreed. Even her agreement of the orange robe is due to her fascination on the son only. Had she agreed this without the drama of crocodile, she could be appreciated for crossing the Anaahata cakra or wheel of fascination towards issues.
2. Kindly explain how to divert the Samskaras towards God in the presence of ignorance?
[Q2) When attachment to the world is burnt, Samskaraas are burnt. But it is difficult to do so by human effort. So, diverting the samskaaras (good and bad qualities) to God is the easiest solution. Kindly explain how to divert them in the presence of ignorance?
At Your Divine Lotus feet🙏🙇♀️🙏, Anita S R]
Swami replied:- Once you put some initial effort to attach yourself to God, the God magnet will drag you into Itself. The initial effort is to attend the discourses of Sadguru and listening to the divine life stories of God in energetic forms and human forms. Listening to stories of great devotees will also help the devotion to God. Even seeing the movies completely dedicated to God is good. Once the devotee is completely attached to God, the worldly fascinations will drop out spontaneously.
