Kundalini is another name for Atma or Self, or Sakti.
We talk of it as being inside the body because we conceive ourselves as limited to the body.
But it is in reality both inside and outside, being no other than the Self, or Sakti.
In the jnana marga, when by Self-enquiry the mind is merged in the Self, the Self, its Sakti or Kundalini rises automatically.
– Sri Ramana Maharshi
