INTRODUCTION
The desire that is pure and not directed towards any particular object or person is simply an overflowing energy that is called iccha shakti or the 'desire energy'. From the navel, energy comes as pure energy.
In the heart region, this energy gets converted to the power of desire. This further gets converted into words in the throat region. When this energy gets converted into words, it is called vak or the 'speech energy'.
To give an analogy, the energy that comes from the navel is like loose cotton. The cotton becomes thread in the throat region.
Or you can imagine it this way: the energy that comes from the navel is like molten iron. The throat is like a forge where the product is formed! The speech energy moves further to the brain. There it stays as knowledge or gets converted into a command. In the brain, the energy could stay as the power of knowledge or gnana shakti. For example, the desire energy related to the body can become knowledge of the body. The other option is, the words get converted to a command and get executed as well. The command goes to the entire body and moves you. This is called the power of action or kriya shakti. For example, the desire energy related to your body can express as the power of action like moving your body
Pure iccha shakti or desire energy which comes from your being gets converted to gnana shakti or the power of knowledge and kriya shakti or the power of action.
If the energy is not processed and channeled properly, the knowledge and action become disconnected from the power of the pure desire energy. The knowledge and action should be in tune with the desire energy.
