Everything in this world has a subtle body in the form of yantra. That is to say everybody has a geometrical symbol. Everybody has a geometrical counterpart. Every sound has a geometrical wave. Every object in this world can be explained in a geometrical pattern.
Whatever I am telling you and whatever you are understanding is all being converted immediately into geometric patterns, just as a very big fruit tree is contained in a small seed. If you cut the seed, you will never see the tree. You will find different elements. You will find microbes in a potential state, but you will never see the tree there. When you put that seed in the earth, it grows the same fruit. In the same way, all things in this world are immediately transformed the moment the brain registers them.
Yantra is the language of the unconscious. An experience goes into the unconscious and it is immediately converted or transformed into symbols. They are all stored there into what we call standing waves and these waves do not resonate unless there is some stimuli.
Just as you send radio communication through the satellite. Thousands of messages can go through the satellite but it is converted into resonant waves. It is not the same language that I am speaking or you are speaking, but it is converted into electrical waves and then into radioactive waves. One channel can carry thousands of messages and those thousands of messages are received at one particular station, then they are separated. One goes to you and one comes to me. You receive the telephone call and I receive the telephone call, two different telephone calls.
In the unconscious, millions and millions of these symbols can be stored because they are in the subtle body, they do not require a place. If you look at someone in the street, you get angry because he is your enemy and you remember some past incident. That person stimulated the past memory and one archetype came out: Revenge, kill him.
There are yantras in the tantric system, like Sri Yantra, Swastika Yantra, Kali Yantra, Tara Yantra and so many more. All civilizations had these yantras. These yantras are presented to the mind at different times. They are introduced into the brain and go into the unconscious. There they create an explosion.
This explosion is a very creative explosion. Just as you put the seed into the earth after ten days, an explosion takes place, the seed breaks into two, the sprout comes, and finally the tree grows. In the same way, there are certain groups of yantras that can stimulate your sattwic, rajasic or tamasic body.
These yantras explode and awaken certain creative faculties in man. We know that these millions of samskaras cannot be destroyed. Every day we are having more and more. What is the use of wasting time? Why not explode the best in you? Why to keep on weeding the grass in the field? Clear up a little bit, put in a seed, let it explode into a beautiful apple tree, apricot, banana, mango. If you go on cleaning the whole plot every day, one by one, there is no end to it.
There is no use fighting with your low samskaras. There is a tamasic corner of human life. Let it be there. There is a sattwic corner also, which is a reservoir of power. Beautiful music can be brought about, great philosophies could be spoken, or you can have great energy to serve mankind. You can have a timeless brain all day and night working and thinking some big things. Maybe if you can get the best seed, you can become a prophet, a poet or a writer. What I mean to say is that these yantras which we are talking about are the instrumentals for awakening the great potentiality in human consciousness.
