अध्याय ५
II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
तरी वैराग्याचेनि आधारें I जिहीं विषय दवडूनि बाहिरें I शरीरीं एकंदरें I केलें मन II 151 II
सहजें तिहीं संधीभेटी I जेथ भ्रूपल्लवां पडे गांठी I तेथ पाठिमोरी दिठी I पारुखोनियां II 152 II
सांडूनि दक्षिण वाम I प्राणापान सम I चित्तेसीं व्योम I गामिये करिती II 153 II
तेथ जैसीं रथ्योदकें सकळें I घेऊनि गंगा समुद्रीं मिळे I मि एकेक वेगळें I निवडूं नये II 154 II
तैसी वासनांतराची विवंचना I मग आपैसी पारुखे अर्जुना I जे वेळीं गगनीं लयो मना I पवनें कीजे II 155 II
जेथ हें संसारचित्र उमटे I तो मनोरूप पटु फाटे I जैसें सरोवर आटे I मग प्रतिभा नाहीं II 156 II
तैसें मन एथ मुद्दल जाये I मग अहंभावादिक कें आहे I म्हणोनि शरीरेंचि ब्रम्ह होये I अनुभवी तो II 157 II
"Using dispassion those who keep the attachments to the senses at bay, with a controlled mind (manovrutti) remain calm and balanced.
(Manovrutti" literally translates to "mind-activity". It's about the constant stream of thoughts, emotions, and perceptions that arise within the mind.)
"Pran" is life force or energy, and "nadis" are channels through which it flows, with the three primary nadis being Ida (left), Pingala (right), and Sushumna (central). Ida nadi is also known as Chandra nadi. Pingala nadi is also known as Surya nadi.
(There are 72,000 nadis. The 72,000 nadis spring from three basic nadis – the left, the right and the central – the Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. The word “nadi” does not mean nerve. Nadis are pathways or channels of Pran in the system. These 72,000 nadis don’t have a physical manifestation. In the sense, if you cut the body and look in, you will not find them. But as you become more aware, you will notice the energy is not moving at random, it is moving in established pathways. There are 72,000 different ways in which the energy or Pran moves.) Pran signifies the vital life force or energy, often associated with inhalation and upward movement, while Apan represents the energy of release and elimination, linked to exhalation and downward movement.
The Ida and Pingala nadis converge with the Sushumna nadi, the central energy channel, at the knot like point located between the eyebrows. Chidakash is a subtle space of consciousness located at the brow centre. It is the source of all creation and the place where the Self resides, representing the infinite and all-pervading consciousness. The Sushumna nadi is believed to be the pathway for experiencing the Chidakash, or the inner space of consciousness.
Focusing on the tip of the nose, or "Nasikagra Drishti," is a yogic practice that involves concentrating your gaze on the tip of your nose to enhance concentration and calm the mind.
(The tip of nose refers to either at centre of brows or at the end of nose above the mouth.)
Just like the streams of water flowing into river Ganga that ultimately merges into the ocean lose their identity. Similarly when deep absorption in Chidakash turns into Samadhi, a state of profound meditative absorption where the mind, ego, and personal identity dissolve, leading to a unified consciousness with the Supreme Reality, the realm of the past impressions (Vaasanas') ceases once and for all. The mind canvas is emptied of worldly impressions just like the reflection in water disappears with the drying of pond.
When mind loses mindfulness, there is no place for "I, Me, Mine" either, for such a person becomes the Supreme Consciousness manifested."
