-----錫呂格涅沙( Shri Ganesha )-----
錫呂格涅沙是坐在所有的輪穴上，從這一點來說，祂其實是宇宙的總管。若没有祂，這世界是無法運作，因為祂代表的是神聖的本身(holiness)。當昆達里尼(Kundalini)升到某個位置，正是錫呂格涅沙將祂的神聖本質灑遍此處，也正是祂用祂的潔淨力量來清理你的輪穴。
所以了解錫呂格涅沙的美德，知道祂如何在你的輪穴內運作、如何幫助你等等，是非常重要的。我們除了崇拜祂、唱頌祂的拜贊外，我們也應該想到我們從祂身上獲得的種種好的特質，如純潔高尚的品德(chastity，註一)、純潔(purity)及智慧(wisdom)。我們必須了解我們的智慧並不是經由反覆的教導而獲得，智慧是無法被操縱學習的，它是屬於天生的，它是經由人變得成熟而獲得的。而這成熟只有經由適當地將注意力放在你的昆達里尼，讓這無所不在的神聖力量(all-pervading
power)來調整、來修補你的昆達里尼，要經由如此才能達到。而這必須靠著規律的靜坐來達成。靜坐並不是每天必做的儀式(ritual)，它是在你覺得喜歡需要時來做的。一段時間後，你會發現你無時無刻都在靜坐，甚至平時你不靜坐時，亦處在靜坐的狀態。
錫呂格涅沙的風格是如此偉大，甚至找不出適當的詞彙來描述祂。唯一我可以說的是：祂是一個小小孩，祂是一個永遠的小孩。這永遠處在小孩狀態是給予祂小孩子般的純真(innocence)。一般人是無法強迫自己變成純真，因為我們已長大，我們已經學了許多種種的奸巧與做作。但是當内在的昆達里尼開始上升時，她會開始祝福我們的輪穴，我們會自動地找回我們的純真。慢慢地，我們會有純真的心(heart)、純真的心智(mind)與純真的愛。這種簡單純真的人格特質正是一個好的練習者的表徵。這樣子的練習者會經由他的經驗知道：他是被錫呂格涅沙的眾多仙眾(ganas)所照顧的。不論你在那裏，這些仙眾都是跟隨在左右看顧你、指引你、幫助你。你應該有許多奇特的經驗，你也知道其他人也談及(寫下)許多的奇蹟與體驗，我們甚至無法用一本書來編篡全部的故事。
雖然這些仙眾是跟隨在旁邊，且非常和藹可親，但是他們也一直監督著你，看著你的行為舉止。假如你試圖從霎哈嘉中謀取私利，你有可能會被處罰，這些仙眾有可能攻擊你。我已經警告你們不要剝削霎哈嘉來獲取你的私利，你已經獲得你的自覺，你不應該利用或剝削霎哈嘉，你應該來享受霎哈嘉.......。

He is actually
the chancellor of all the universities, I would say, in the sense that He is
sitting on all the chakras. Without Him, nothing can work out, because He is
the one who is holiness. So wherever the Kundalini goes, it is He who pours the
holiness and the cleansing power of Shri Ganesha cleanses your chakras.
So it is very
important to understand the virtue of Shri Ganesha, how He works within your
chakras and how He helps you. We may worship Him; just we may sing His praise
and all that, but we should also think what qualities we have got from Him of
great chastity, great purity, also of wisdom. We have to understand that our
wisdom is not something that could be inculcated. It cannot be something that
can be maneuvered. It is something very innate thing and it comes through our
maturity.
So this
maturity can only come through the proper attention to your Kundalini, to
fixing up your Kundalini with the all-pervading power. This has to be done
through regular meditation. It’s not a ritual, but it should be done whenever
you feel like, and after sometime you’ll find that you are all the time in
meditation. You don’t have to even meditate, but you are in meditation.
His style is so
great that it has no words to be described. But only thing I would like to say
that He is a little child. He is an eternal child and the eternal childhood
gives Him that innocence of a child. We cannot force ourselves to be innocent
because we have grown and we have learned lots of cunning things. But when the
Kundalini starts rising and She starts blessing our chakras, automatically we
start thinking our innocence has come back. Now we have got innocent heart,
innocent mind and innocent love. This simple innocent personality is the sign
of a good Sahaja Yogi. And then he also knows, for definite through his
experience, that he’s looked after by the ganas of Shri Ganesha. Whether you
are in Russia or in England or in India, they’re all over and the way they are
watching you and the way they guide you and the way they help you, you have
these experiences and you know that how many people have written about their
experiences that we could not even compile them in a book.
But all these
ganas are there and they are so kind and so nice, but apart from that, they are
also watching you. They’re seeing how is your behavior. If you try to take
advantage of Sahaja Yoga by any chance, it may be punished, it may act against
you. I have warned you many times not to exploit Sahaja Yoga for your
advantage. It is for the advantage of others and not for your advantage. You
already have got your own Realization. But exploitation should not be there at
all. On the contrary, the enjoyment of Sahaja Yoga is the best way to know
Sahaj Yoga. ...........
