Om! May Brahm guard both of us (guru and disciple), take care(rear) of both of us, we should not feel jealous of each other. Om! Shantih, Shantih, Shantih.
It is the duty of the knowledgeable not to waste this life which is as momentary as the light shining in the sky. By repeated readings and study, knowledge can be acquired. One should sit in the chariot of Pranav and make lord Vishnu as the seer or sakshi and inquiring about the real crux of realm of Brahm one should busy oneself in the upasana of lord Rudra. One should move in that chariot till whole path on which it is to move is completed. When that is completed, one should get down from this chariot and proceed further himself.
Doing dhyan of A,O,M etc various matras of Pranav, their lingbhoot pad and dependent cosmos one should forgo them and then move into the Ishwar who is the producer of soundless m-kaar, thus he should enter Turiya tattva. That tattva is beyond all the worldly play. Various subjects like sound, touch etc, and senses and mind which experience them, one should see them as rays of lights emanating from sun in ones atma. Such kind of meditation is called Pratyahaar. In the six limbs of yoga apart from Pranayam, Dhyan, Dharana, Tark, Samadhi, pratyahaar is also counted.
As gold is purified by removal of impurites on heating it, same way impurities acquired by our senses are removed with the help of pranayam. With Pranayam burn all the doshas/evils and with Dharana burn all the sins. Thus removing all the sins and their snaskars one should meditate on ones deity and continue to perform pranayam, kumbhak etc. Repeating gayatri mantra three-three times one should do poorak, kumbhak and rechak. This is called one pranayam.
Rechak pranayam is that in which pranvayu is brought in to the space element by making it shunya with hridaya vayu( air of the heart) and thought both. To attract the air in to ones mouth as if one is breathing in through a lotus stem(puckering our lips), slowly take the air in. One should neither inhale, no exhale but keep the breath still without moving body parts, this is called Kumbhak. As a blind man can not see anything, similarly a sadhak should not see anything even though his eyes are open, should not listen to anything ewven though his ears are there but remain still like a wooden log. This state is called Prashant state. Considering mind as creater of sankalp, one should try to attach it with atma meditating on Parmatama. To think on the lines of scriptures is called Tark, to see and feel everything else, whatsoever, as nothing is called samadhi.
One should sit in an area which is clean, free of evil thing in Padmasan or Swastik asan, Bhadrasan etc facing East, guarding ones mind perform jap (repetition of mantra). then close one nostril with one finger and breath in through other nostril, then close both the nostrils and hold ones breath meditating on single lettered letter of Om which is Brahm. Thus slowly exhale. Repeat this process many times. In this way one should sit in front of ones Isht(deity on which one meditates), balancing the upper and lower spaces, one should sit still and thus practice.
Such a yog should be practised according to a plan and like a Tarr tree it bears fruit very soon. Twelve matra avarti for it has been suggested. This Pranav naad brahm does not arise with effort. It is neither a vowel nor a consonant. It can not spoken from throat, palat, nasal, moordha or teeth. It never ends. One should practise pranav in the form of pranayam and mind should continuously dwell in naad. Which ever path a yogi watches, pran along with mind follows that alone. For pran to treverse the best path, daily practice is essential. Entry point of air is heart and through it alone it enters in to Sushumana. Above is upward going path and beyond that is path of mukti which is brahmrandhra.
For a yogi fear, anger, excessive food, no food, lethargy or too much sleep are things to be shunned. A yogi who practise like this everyday achieves the ultimate knowledge. In four months he gets darshan of divines, by continuously practising for five month if he desires in the sixth month he can achieve a state of Jeevanmukti.
For establishing in Earth element he should meditate on five matras of pranav, for meditating on Water element he should meditate on four matras of Pranav, for Fire element meditate on three matras and for Air element two matras be meditated on. For Ether element one should meditate on one matra of pranav, while for meditating on Pranav, one should meditate on half matra of only. In ones own body one should meditate on the five elements and their sidhis. By following such procedure five elements are controlled.
Pran which is of the length of thirty and a half finger, is the bases of all the pran vayus. That is why it is called Pran. Outer pran which seen by our eyes in twenty four hours moves 1,13,680 times.
Pran resides in the Heart. Apan resides in Anus, Saman in Navel, Udan in Throat, Vyan in all the body parts. Pran vayu is colour of Mani, Apan of Indragop colour, Saman like cows milk, Udan like that of earth, Vyan like fire flame.
Practitioner whose Pran piercing all the mandal reaches his forehead, where so ever leaves his body, he gets free of circle of birth and death, i.e he is not born again.
Thus ends this minor upnishad.................................Om!
