Purgatory (Naraka-Loka)
This cell is connected with the theme of “purgatory” and helps reveal how that state appears in the inner path, the player's reactions and the current life process.
Level of the board: Anahata, balance. Row 4 of 8.
Meaning of the cell
As soon as the player acquires freedom of action, he becomes responsible for its consequences. Naraka-loka is the place where the player settles his accounts.
Entering naraka-loka without the understanding characteristic of the fourth level, the player views the situation as a failure; he does not see in it the consequences of negative karma. Then it becomes obvious that naraka-loka is nothing other than a sign of imperfection in actions, something that must be corrected. In the fourth chakra, awareness occurs without judgment.
