▢ Primary outlines. Vatican-endorsed knowledge
Omkara Gita Linked ☼The source of Lahiri Mahasaya's text is shown on the bottom of the page. The following contains a mixture of rendered and abstracted thoughts from it. 1. The individual Self is of Knowledge Deep inside oneself is a star encircled with a yellow colour called "the golden ring". [Cf. v. 9] When you become one with the supreme Person . . . you are eternal and supreme Being ⚶ Complete Consciousness is all there is. [Cf. v. 16; 56] One is to tranquilise the prana ("breath") at the heart, which is esoterically in the area between the eyebrows too ⚶ One should expand the prana, which is automatically and spontaneously expanded in higher Consciousness. [Cf. v. 22; 25] (2) The supreme Person is the embodiment of knowledge. [Cf. v. 52] There is no substratum or nada (sound) in the great calm brought on by kriya. Then all is a void, a so-called void. [Cf. v. 29] Without Self-Knowledge, nobody can attain full well ⚶ The individual self is the ultimate Self somehow. [Cf. v. 78-79; 9] Tranquility is a form of the supreme Self ⚶ Kriya is the means to serve the Self. [Cf. v. 26; 15] 2. Those who contemplate every day may understand more and better as time goes by The eternal Being is beyond the mind and impossible to experience unless and until the mouth of the Secret Lotus inside is no longer upside down. [Cf. v. 15; 39] You can also try to lessen desires by calm breathing. [Cf. v. 62-64] The supreme Person lives at the heart, and is dazzling like billions of suns. [Cf. v. 45-47] (4) The eternal Being is a Person, sages say. [Cf. v. 37]
3. Individual hearts are created
In the void of the heart is sound and calmness ⚶ Individual beings are created. [Cf. v.
3-5; 9]
So
The individual who meditates well, daily, may share in forming and building a spiritual edifice
inside. |
