The Trinity of Human Energy: Iccha, Kriya, and Guna
To move through the world without creating the "entanglement" of karma, one must master three distinct dimensions of energy. When these three align, the universe doesn’t just observe our journey—it reciprocates.
1. Iccha Shakti: The Energy of Will or Will Power
Your willpower has the potential to bend reality, but only if your intention is sufficiently intense. Shallow desires create shallow results. To activate Iccha Shakti, your goal must be "larger than life," fueling a focus so sharp it begins to shape the vacuum of the future.
2. Kriya Shakti: The Energy of Action
Here lies the paradox. While your Will is fixed on a destination, your Action must be pure, like that of a child.
A child is an explorer, a wanderer who is fully present in the "now."
If you are too obsessed with the destination, you lose the purity of the journey.
To perform Kriya effectively, you must act with total involvement but zero attachment to the outcome. You are the traveler who knows where he is going, yet stops to marvel at every stone on the path.
3. Guna Shakti: The Energy of Circumstance
This is the cosmic response, governed by the three Gunas: Sattva (harmony), Rajas (movement), and Tamas (inertia). We cannot control the "X-factors" of life 100%. However, Guna Shakti is often a reflection of our first two energies. If your will is intense and your action is pure, the universe responds in kind—either by clearing your path or providing the friction necessary for your growth.
Let me share a one extreme and pure real life incident with you.
The Ultimate Synthesis: The Silent Sanyasi
Consider a historical moment from 1857, amidst the chaos of the Indian rebellion. A Sanyasi—a man who had worn "no color" and held a vow of silence for 30 years—wandered into a prohibited British zone.
Being a Sanyasi, he was "demotional"—emotionally deep yet utterly detached. He moved every three days to avoid the "gravity" of attachment. When captured and sentenced to death by a British commander, he did not break his vow with a plea for mercy.
As the bullet struck and he lay on the soil, his Iccha Shakti (his life-long search for the Divine) and his Kriya Shakti (his pure, silent existence) culminated in one final, receptive moment. With his dying breath, his eyes got watery, hard to breath, blood was gushing out of his mouth and his chest,he performed Namaskara to the soldier who shot him and uttered:
तत्त्वमसि
"Tat Tvam Asi"
Meaning : YOU ARE THAT
In his killer, he saw the same Divinity he had spent thirty years seeking. His intention was so intense, and his spirit so receptive, that even a moment of violence was transformed into an act of God.
To sail through this world without entanglement, you must balance these three states:
Be Intense in your Intention (Iccha).
Be Pure in your Process (Kriya).
Be Receptive to the Result (Guna).
