Despite years of spiritual seeking, you may not have attained the desired peace or realizations. The primary reason is that your efforts are fueled by a mundane consciousness, ordinary intellect, and worldly attachments. You’re attempting to harness universal energies, but your perspective remains worldly.
Here, the guru’s grace and guidance become crucial. The guru opens your eyes, shifting your perception. Until you grasp the expansive nature of these energies through the guru’s words, they remain elusive, like a diamond mistaken for coal.
To invoke the gods, you need their divine intellect. This doesn’t mean merely reading books, becoming a scholarly pandit, or indulging in debates and arguments to satisfy your ego. True understanding involves recognizing the vastness of these energies and how they’ll manifest in your life.
Certain energies will first confront you with the consequences of your past actions, from this life and previous ones. 99% of people flee at this stage.
For instance, those who practice the Baglamukhi Brahmastra Vidya must first confront their inner demons. The mantra clearly states, “Sarva dushtanam vacham mukham padam sthambhay, jihva kilay, buddhi vinashay…” The “dushtanam” (evil forces) refer to the negative tendencies within you, which the deity will first eradicate.
Baglamukhi will destroy your attachment to worldly desires, envy, ego, and other vices that emanate from your senses, speech, and intellect. Are you prepared to let go of these attachments?
This Mahavidya will shatter your worldly illusions, and your perception of reality will change. The goddess holding the tongue of a demon represents the control of your own tongue and its destructive potential.
This Brahmastra Vidya is a powerful tool that demands discipline and responsibility. If you’re initiated into this practice and still commit mistakes, such as indulging in negative thoughts, harsh speech, or lustful behavior, the deity will first punish you.
This is just a glimpse into one Mahavidya. There are nine more, each with its own secrets and powers. Only a capable guru can impart this understanding. Beware of fake gurus who claim to offer enlightenment for a fee.
