The Ego
The Ajna chakra lies between the brows. Varanasi is the place between the vara brow and nasi nose. If your ego dies here, you will get moksha - liberation. Varanasi is actually a place in North India which people visit for liberation.
80% of your energy is now spent on unnecessary thinking. If this chakra opens, 80% of your energy will be spent in creativity. So whatever you think will become reality. Now, all our thoughts are association. For eg, you see a dog in the street, you will remember all the dogs of childhood days, followed by where you stayed, who your teacher was...although there is no connection between the teacher and the dog, still you remember. 80% of your energy is spent on association.
Too much of ego and prejudice locks this chakra. Innocence opens this chakra.
Look into your life: for anything, your judgement is ready and you collect arguments to support judgement. If you collect arguments and then pass judgement, you are innocent. Ajna is blocked if you live with a lot of prejudice.
In life you see only what you want to see. You don't understand or see the reality.
Too much ego locks this chakra. Innocence opens it.
It is called the chakra raja. Through this you can penetrate all the other 6 chakras. There are 5000 techniques to open this chakra. All the Masters have worked on this powerful chakra.
What is ego? Take for example how you relate to your boss and how you relate to your subordinate. You have different masks for different people. If you switch any mask, there comes ego. If you play the masks intelligently, it is enough. Sometimes you associate with the wrong mask and that is when ego is stepping in. Enjoy every role and you can only enjoy if you understand you are something beyond the mask.
Only when you are enlightened the ego goes. Trying to destroy the ego will create conflict in you schizophrenic energy. When you are mature, you drop your toys. Similarly when you look at masks intelligently, your desires drop.
As long as you think you are extraordinary, you are ordinary, The moment you know you are ordinary, you become extraordinary.
