The mother sacrifices for the children, the wife for the husband, the husband for the wife, the children for the parents. This sacrifice leads to giving without expecting anything in return. The tremendous power of Supreme Love experienced in meditation overwhelms the student, inspires sacrifice for the Beloved. Through genuine spiritual practice the mind expands creating the feeling that everything and everyone in the world is a part of oneself in a similar way that one feels the human body to be a part of oneself. Analytical, compartmentalized thinking excludes, differentiates, separates, sees everything as outside oneself.
Spirituality causes compassion, sharing, caring, sacrifice and service to arise spontaneously.
Materialism, however, stimulates selfishness, greed, indifference and expectation of reward. So the complete meaning is oneness with the goal. As the spiritual force within the student rises up within the spinal cord, it passes through six controlling centers or chakras. As the spiritual force leaves the home center at the base of the spine and crosses the next controlling center, there is a feeling that God is here in this same place with me. This gives a particular kind of joy which invigorates the mind.
