Self Realization

                                              Srimad Bhagavatam

One should sit in an easy posture with the body erect and practice pranayama, that is inhalation, retention and exhalation of breath.

After this one should practice control of mind by gathering all the thoughts with great patience and perseverance.

One should chant “Om” ten times thrice daily while practicing pranayama. This will help in control of breath.

There is a lotus within the heart with its petals pointing downwards, and the sushumna running through it. While meditating, one should think that the petals of the lotus have begun pointing upwards and the lotus is full blown. Further the sun the moon and the fire are one within the other and they are all at the heart of the lotus.

Now one should meditate on the fire and behold within it  “Ishtham” the supreme cause of all universes.

And then one should meditate on the oneness of self.

Thus the devotee will see god in all.
