THE UNIVERSAL ENERGY IN YOU

Get in touch with it

You have three layers of energy. The energy which you use in your day-to-day life is the first layer. Morning 7am you get up from the bed fresh, and around evening 8pm, you are tired. You say, 'Enough. I can't do anything more. Now it is time for me to rest.' After eight in the evening, if somebody asks anything, you get irritated.

The second layer energy is the one
which will be awakened when you are
gripped by fear or greed. Whenever
you are in the peak of fear or greed,
this energy layer opens. Greed can
fuel energy in you. Fear can awaken
energy in you. When you are faced
with a question of survival,
immediately the fear energy is
awakened. I call this layer as the
emergency layer. If a dog chases you,
you know your speed of running!
You may feel sleepy. You may be
walking slowly without disturbing
your sleepy mood. But if a dog chases
you at that time, how you reach your
house and how the sleep disappears,
you can't imagine! This is the second
layer energy.

There is a third layer energy. The third layer energy can be awakened only through meditation. That is what I call Universal Energy. We never believe nor do we ever understand that so much of energy is available in us because we have not used it for a long time. We have not used it for a long time. It's like in the harbors, if you see, there will be a small area reserved to keep the boats. That area will be walled. They will have built a wall inside the ocean to reduce the waves so that the small boats can be kept there. They call it 'boat jetty' - where the boats are parked. Actually the boat jetty and the ocean are connected. They are not separate. They are one and the same. It is said that sometimes some ships standing in the harbor for a long time that did not travel in the ocean for a long time, forget that they can travel in the ocean, that they belong to the ocean! In the same way, because we stayed in the boat jetty in the harbor for a long time, never traveled in the third layer energy for a long time, maybe since birth, we forget that we have this energy. At the most, you will experience only the second layer, never the third layer. That is why people get a little frightened, even when they experience the second layer. Meditation and awareness can open out this third layer energy.
