Does the human body have ‘chakras’?

Energy is something physical, there is nothing really, materially called chakras in the human body. You dissect the entire body and you will not find any chakra or anything. So, materially they do not exist, they are symbol. When you talk of the mooladhar chakra, you are only saying that the mind devotes a lot of its energy to its basic instincts. Mooladhar chakra denotes the circle, the enclosure of your basic biological sexual activity. Right? It is called the lowest chakra because man keeps thinking all the time of sex. And when man is thinking of sex, then it is a great bondage. Hence it is called as the lowest state.

Instead of talking about raising chakras, simply say, purify your thought. By talking of mooladhar chakra, you have put your concern elsewhere. Now you are saying that the chakra is responsible for your suffering, not your own mind. It is as if there is something wrong with the chakra. What is the chakra?

The chakra is there in the mind. Is there anything called mooladhar chakra when you are sleeping? The chakra is a figment of your consciousness, it’s an idea. So, rather directly talk of the idea, why talk of an object in the idea.

Talk of the mother of all ideation and that is the mind. It’s like this. You say that the world is the dog of god. And just as Sri Ramkrishna had said, that you should not be attached…
