The visualisation of Jnanendriya-s and their objects:

 

 

1. In the large brain, three centres of the Jnanendriya-s -eye, ear and taste are shown.

 

2. In the active part of the large brain, the smell of a flower is being perceived by the nose, as a result, of which mind is performing the function of giving and taking of the object and a peculiar reaction is taking place in the orb of intellect while it performs the function of ascertainment.

 

3. Intellect is undergoing special modification during its function of ascertainment through the giving and taking of the mind at the perception of the sound of a bell, brought to it by the organ of hearing.

 

The Necessity for Mystic Vision:

As long as aspirants have not visualised the subtle activities of the mind, intellect, the subtle senses, their luminous forms and mutual functions, and all pertaining to the subtle universe by entering into the inner being through mystic vision, it is not possible to have complete faith in the existence of divine truths as you will have after visualisation.

The Subtle Eye, Eye of Wisdom or Divine Eye.

 

During the state of concentration, the mind joins its divine power with the subtle eye and enables a yogi to visualise and know objects that are very far off, on the sun or on the earth.

 

Prajnaloka - The Light of Knowledge: This is a technical term for Yoga. The meaning is the divine light arising in the state of meditation. This special light arises when the mind associates its own divine power with subtle eye. The subtle divine eye is able to perceive objects which are subtle, hidden and remote and is able to acquire knowledge of all objects.

 

The Eye of Wisdom is also called the “Third Eye” or the Ajna Chakra.

Astral Body in Brahmarandhra: Causal Body in Heart.

 

Comparison and contrast of the Astral Body seated in Brahmarandhra and the Causal Body in the heart.

 

In the orb of the five Tanmatras in the Brahmarandhra, the orbs of mind, intellect and the senses are shown, and in the hearts - the orbs of anandamaya kosha. Both collective forms of orbs are luminous, white, gentle and both are associated with each other by subtle rays.

Visualisation of (Pratyahara) of Senses.

 

During the state of pratyahara, when Indriyas, mind, intellect have turned away from objects and are calm and internalised. During Nirvikalpa and Asamprajnata Samadhi these orbs of senses, mind and intellect are of the same type but the light of Sattwa is abundant.

 

The light of the luminous intellect is the only means of realising the very quick functions of the Indriyas in relation to different objects and the mutual functions of the inner instruments and their various lights and subtle activities due to the influence of the three Gunas.

‪Visualisation of Astral and Causal Bodies.

 

1. The subtle body seated in Brahmarandhra has pervaded the physical body and causal body seated in the heart by its luminous rays.

 

2. A special state of the knowledge of self during Asmita Samadhi, in the heart

 

Sadhakas often get this type of vision also of their astral bodies. These bodies appear often very small, often big, but they are ever luminous and like a shadow pervaded by light. They appear similar to a human form standing in front or they are seen sitting, as in the state of mediation. Sometimes, a gentle light emanates from the heart of the shadow-form and, having pervaded the shadow, it is seen spreading outside. It is as if we are perceiving our astral bodies in a mirror. Sometimes, this form is devoid of organs and is bigger than physical body. It is seen in the form of a shadow at a distance.

‪In the Heart Region there are six luminous orbs.

 

These six orbs exists in an aggregate form in the region of the heart, and they appear to be constituting a Jyotir  Linga, a mass of light. This orb of subtle Prakriti is a part of the universal non-manifest Prakriti through the limiting adjunct of the heart.

- Influence of Rajas-predominating

 

- Ahamkara over Chitta and subtle prana

 

- Visualisation of Sattwik state of Chitta, Ahamkara and subtle prana

 

In the hollow of the membrane of the heart is a space of the size of a small seedless grape, in which jivatman, chitta, ahamkara, sukshma prana, prakriti and brahman are located in the form of girdles, as it were, as if bangles have been put on a Siva Linga from inside out.

Process showing formation of sound impressions.

 

1. The sound of a bell is falling upon the cochlea (spiral cavity of inner ear) through the etheric rays, and auditory nerves are carrying the sensation to the subtle organ of ear.

 

2. This subtle organ of ear, like a blue-white star, having received the sensation of sound, is taking it to the orb of mind.

 

3. The orb of mind, situated on the top like a luminous white moon, is reflecting the sensation and reacting to it.

 

4. The yellow orb of Intellect has waves aroused in itself while making a decision about the sound brought to it by the mind.

 

5. This is the flow of samskara-s through which intellect sends the impressions through the mind to the orb of the ego situated in the heart.

 

6. Ahamkara (ego), seated in the heart, having received the impressions sent to it by the mind directed by intellect, deposits them in the orb of chitta which is of white colour. By the force of memory, Ahamkara allows the flow of outgoing samskaras rising from chitta to move to the orb of intellect for their fructification.

Relationship of individual and cosmos during the state of meditation.

 

1. The vision of the flow of divine rays into the subtle body abiding in Brahmarandhra from the five subtle elements abiding in the ether, for the nourishment of the subtle body.

 

2. The give and take of impressions between the individual chitta seated in the heart and the cosmic chitta shown in the flow of luminous rays.

Realisation of Subtle and Causal Bodies apart from the Physical Body.

 

When the yogi enters into Brahmarandhra through meditation, there arises an ordinary type of light; then there appears a luminous shadow of the human body of the same size; it appears seated in meditation, just before one’s gaze. This is the astral body. In this subtle body, there is the luminosity of mercury. Inside this luminous body, in an oval shaped small orb, white as snow, there are three orbs, resembling butter, white-tinged with blue, luminous and of the colour of light clouds. This is the Causal Body. The soul is immovable, actionless and fixed, and is sustained by the causal body in its womb. This causal body is subject to contraction and expansion.

Astral and Causal Bodies after death.

 

The departure of the astral body associated with the causal body:

 

First. Jivatman is in the form of a diamond particle, very luminous, in the centre of the orb of the chitta which is white in colour and in the middle of the conch from outside the orb of the chitta is the orb of ahamkara, blue in colour. Outside ahamkara is the orb of subtle prana, rosy in colour. Above the subtle prana is the yellow orb of intellect. Above the orb of intellect is the white orb of mind; the senses of perception are bluish and the organs of action are orange.

 

Second. This is the vision of contracted state of subtle and causal bodies. Often it is reduced to the size of an atom, which cannot be pictured.

 

Third. Similar to No.1 in the illustration, the circular position of all the elements of the causal and astral bodies is shown in a luminous orb.
