Waxing and Waning. That's what is happening. In one the influence of the
moon is receding, in another the influence of the moon is rising. Moon, you
know only as a reflection because it's reflecting sun's light you know the moon.
You know the Sun because he's burning in a way in our experience it's a product
of the Sun not only in our experience some scientific theories say it is the
solar material which flow out in the spin and became all these planets and
satellites and whatever. One small blob became a moon. For human understanding we
are always looking at everything to give it a polarity because all physical
substance has polarity leanings. Actually in India certain trees are identified as
male trees, certain trees are identified as female trees. Have you seen in the
villages two trees are married. In the villages young girls go and worship
these trees when they want to get married. Two trees get married entire
village attends the wedding. People saw this is a masculine tree, this is a
feminine tree because of certain types of inclinations in the tree. So similarly
when they looked at the Sun they saw him as masculine, they saw the moon as
feminine. This is not some rural mind's mishap. This
is a reality. If they were wrong the female body wouldn't be in sync with the
cycles of the moon. The moon in many ways represents the feminine. If you are male,
the problem with you is, you're looking towards the female. If you are female the
problem with you you are looking towards the male because in some way it's not
there in you. If you are male, we want the feminine to rise within you. If you are
female we want the masculine to rise within you. This is not to distort nature
but to even out nature. We call Adiyogi, Shiva the ultimate man not because
he's super macho, he is (laughs) but because one half of him is women that's why he is the
ultimate man. So the effort is to make you into that ultimate piece of human
being who carries masculine and feminine in equal proportions within you and you
are able to conduct life in a very balanced way because these two things
are equally there within you. If you're masculine you don't have the feminine, if
you're feminine you don't have the masculine. In how many ways human beings
are suffering because of this absence. So the idea of creating that in the
Dhyanalinga temple is not just for those periods it's established like that. That,
if you are there in its presence slowly you will see after some time you are
quite fine. If you look at a woman you can simply look at her like you look at
everything else in the world. Which you did when you were a child. The moment you
got chemically poisoned you lost that ability to simply look at another human
being as human being. Every small bump in the body became some great world by
itself. Every little something became so big
simply because you distorted. So to settle the distortion because it's such
a powerful energy field if it becomes too masculine or too feminine then it
will take people in a different way. Taking people like that into excessively
masculine or excessively feminine nature could be useful to do certain type of
work but not useful to live not useful to live a balanced life.
Dhyanalinga is for all. All processes that happen there are wide open because
of that. It's managed like this, many of them these days I think they're going
into Lingarpranam, maybe once in three, four or five years I think. I have read a
lot of hundreds of sharings of how they felt. Hundreds and hundreds of
experiences which made them feel something that would have never happened
to them anywhere else what happened to them was on one level, the masculine and
the feminine within you got evened out. It's equal. If the masculine and feminine
is in equal proportion then only both will dare to be full-fledged. When both
are full-fledged you are a full-on life. When you are a full-on life, suddenly you
see the psychological process, the emotional process, the social process
that's happening around you doesn't mean a damn thing to you because they're all
just accessories, people need accessories when they are not full fledged. You never
looked at a man who is walking on crutches and envied him. Oh he's got four
legs I got only two. If he had golden crutches maybe you would.
So it evens you out so that this is full-fledged, when this is full-fledged,
you don't care what somebody has because being alive is better than anything else.
