Part VI : Shaktipat Experiments
Shaktipat is the energy of a Master which may trigger energy
in people, producing involuntary physical and emotional responses
like crying, laughing, chaotic breathing, shaking, trembling,
and celebrating.
The instructions are: 20 minutes instrumental music, followed
by 20 minutes silence, followed by 20 minutes music. During the
music people are to express whatever comes. People are requested
to bring a flower with them.
"You have nothing to do; you are not the doer. Only be empty,
so that I can enter you and work. On your part only surrender
is required. Then I will do the rest. But once I enter you, then
let any reactions happen and cooperate completely with them."
Sannyas magazine March-Apr 1973
A friend asks: What is shaktipat or energy transmission? And
is it possible that someone can transmit divine energy?
No one can do shaktipat, no one can transmit energy; but someone
can be a vehicle for such transmission. It is true that no one
can do it. And if somebody claims that he can do it, he is indulging
in sheer deception. No one can do it, and yet in some moment transmission
of energy can happen through someone. If that someone is totally
empty and surrendered, shaktipat can happen in his presence. He
can work as a conductor, as a catalytic agent, but not knowingly.
Through him God's infinite energy can enter into another person.
No one can be a catalytic agent knowingly, because the first
condition to act as conductor is that you should not know it,
that you have no ego. Ego disqualifies a person for being a medium
for shaktipat. With ego one becomes a non conductor of energy;
divine energy cannot flow through him. So if there is a person
whose ego is completely wiped out, who is absolutely empty inside
and is a total void, who is doing nothing for you, really who
does not do a thing - then through his emptiness, through
his void, which acts as a passage, God's energy can certainly
reach you. And its speed can be very fast. Remember this when
you come here for tomorrow's meditation.
With this I should also give you a couple of informations for
tomorrow.
Shaktipat means that God's energy has descended on you. It:
can be possible in two ways. Either it arises from you and joins
God's energy or it flows from God and joins you. It is the same
thing viewed from two sides; or these are two ways of seeing the
same thing. For example, there is a tumbler half filled with water.
Someone can say that it is half filled and another can say that
it is half empty. And if they are philosophers they can argue
it endlessly and come to no conclusion, because both statements
are correct. Energy descends from above and it can ascend from
below, too. And when the two energies meet, when your latent energy
meets with the energy of infinity - the explosion happens.
This explosion is unpredictable; nor can it be said what this
explosion does. And what happens after this explosion, this too
cannot be said. Through out history, those who have been blessed
with this explosion of energy have been shouting from rooftops:
"Come one, come all, and pass through this explosion and
see for yourself what it is. Something has happened here which
is simply inexpressible, utterly indescribable."
Shaktipat means the descent of energy from beyond. It can descend.
In fact it descends every day. And this energy chooses for its
vehicle a person who is empty in every way, who is utterly egoless.
He alone turns into its catalytic agent, just a vehicle and nothing
else. But even if a little trace of ego is there, even if he thinks
that he can do it, he ceases to be the conduit. Then energy cannot
flow from him. mirac106
