Iind, the nest sep could be to empower
itwith our fe energies If we ean do that,
‘tWilbecome living reality by tse Most human
beings have lost this power to
truly create, becaee the mind
hae become restless and the
life energies are not suficientiy
bnganised to put them behind
Whatever you wish to = the

depending upon the frequency, amplitude, and
other aspects of the sound, it gives out a certain
form, So every sound has a form attached to it
Similarly every form hus a sound attached to it. $o
the sound is called as mantra,

the technique of using these

tantra.
‘Tantra literally means
‘technology. Technology is
designed to create what you
‘want. Physical technologies
are all about creating physical
Situations the way we want
them, and when the human
sinds try to ereate what they
want, they will ask for many
things. If all your prayers were
answered, your life could traly
bea disaster, Fortunately, mort
ofthem are not answered.
So tantra does not believe in creating what you
want in terms ofthe physical existence around you,
Dut is focused on what is generally considered as
‘paranormal, in ereating forms and identities which
‘will funetion way beyond your own intelligence. So
{tantra essentially focused on malingan intelligence

‘your mind and your energies a just instruments of

possibility.
'So if one wants to have this capability of
being truly able to create as the Crestor did, the
‘most fundamental thing is to be able to keep your
personality offyour imagination,
‘Generally people donot know how to act
towards something that does not concer them,
for they are not involved in It Ifyou ean cross that
limitation, you can do such miraculous things, tt
can become like that if only you can take away your
individual person from your thought, your emotion,
your activity and your energy
So the whole yoga that you are doing here is
fundamental to take away your individuality from
simple things that you do ~ very deep reverse of
‘what has happened in the world today. Atone point
In time, they were preaching, “you must believe in
God now they are preaching. you must believe in
yourself If dont believe in myself, how can T be
‘onfident? How ean Tact in the world?
Individual identification has become so strong
that it has completely dislocated the human being
from his original nature; he has stopped operating
as life I he operates a life and just life alone, his
‘capabilities are immense and do not need to be
limited to what is contained within his physical
cess to everything
