Here we shall discuss the the cave of Prana or cave of vital airs (or Prana Guna) which has all five Prana and five Upa Prana in it and which are are like orbs of the Panch Prana and Panch Upa Prana, that are united to each other … The five prana or Panch Prana are Vyana, Samana, Apana, Udana and Prana and the five Upa Prana (five sub vital airs or Panch Upa Prana) are Krukul, Devadatta (Devdutt), Nag (or Naag), Krukul and Dhananjaya …
This topic continues from the previous one which had the header of “Cave of consciousness … Chitta Guha” … This is the sixth part of this series of topics on Hridayakasha Garbha Tantra …
Cave of the Prana … Or cave of vital airs and sub-vital airs of heart …
As the eternal guide and little student walked together within the cave of ether of heart, a subtle very light pink glowing light was seen at a distance … The eternal guide said pointing to that pink glow … “That is the cave of Prana (or cave of vital airs or Prana Guna) which is directly related to the vital air sheath (or Pranamaya Kosha) … Thus, this cave has all five Prana (i.e. Vyana, Samana, Apana, Udana, Prana) and it also had orbs of all five Upa Prana (i.e. Krukul, Devadatta, Nag or Naag, Krukul and Dhananjaya)” …
The little student ‘saw with awe’ to what was pointed to by the eternal guide and nodded in understanding …
The eternal guide tightly caught the little students hand and said “We shall have to go back into ether, as we also need to see this from ether” …
The little student looked up at the smiling face of the eternal guide and nodded in affirmative …
The eternal guide and student started walking back and then again reached back at the center of the cave of ether within which all these caves were present and then the eternal guide told the student … “Just look at the cave of the Prana (which relates to the vital air sheath or Pranamaye Kosha) from here and compare this cave to the cave of consciousness” …
The little student looked at both these caves, then pointed to the cave of Prana and replied … “This is as bright and even brighter than the cave of consciousness … This is full of life … it is of a state that denotes a fullness of vitality … It has a fullness of flows and nonness of flows too at some points of it … It is enveloped by a fullness of ether and ether is also having the same vitality as this cave … This cave of Prana has a full of consciousness, full of knowledge and fullness of wisdom as these three are also pervading it … It is also full of remnants of impressions which have passed through it, but these impressions are not readily visible as they only become visible after closely observing this fact …
The eternal guide said … These remnants of impressions are not visible until the cave of consciousness is cleaned up i.e. only after the impressions are unseeded in the cave of consciousness, can this very subtle state of remnants of impressions be seen by anyone and this was the reason for us to start the process of unseeding of impressions from the cave of consciousness itself … Due to this reason, even when these subtler impressional aspects are present, yet nobody can see them until the cave of consciousness is unseeded of its impressions … These remnants of impressions are the hidden impressions (or Adrishya Samskaras) and these are a proof of impressions which have already passed through this cave since an eternity and have left their energies in this and also in other caves” …
Then the eternal guide further told … “Thus even when these impressions are no longer there in this cave and other caves as these impressions have already passed through them, yet their subtler energies have been absorbed by these caves and these absorbed energies which are still present in all these caves, are the hidden impressions or Adrishya Samskaras … Ultimately when we complete this job of cleansing, then even these hidden impressions would not be there … Until these hidden impressions are present in these caves, a final liberation is still a distant dream … In these hidden impressions lies the root cause of bondage and suffering and thus when all of these visible and invisible impressions have been unseeded, then only does the aspirant start walking the last path (Brahmanpath) … And once the aspirant qualifies to walk the last pathless partless path (or Brahmpath), then this by itself is a proof that al visible and invisible impressions have already been unseeded by that aspirant” …
The eternal guide then looked at his little student said … “Now continue to tell what more do you see” …
The little student looked again at the cave of Prana and continued … “This cave of Prana is full of energies of these Adrishya Samskaras or hidden impressional fields as you call them … And it looks like that as this cave of Prana (or vital air sheath) is the one from which the other caves are also deriving their vitality and this is due to the fact that the vitality of this cave of Prana is also seen to be entering into other caves … So, it seems like the vitality of this cave (or Prana) is present everywhere in ether of heart and the same is also visible in all the caves that are present here (inside the ether of heart) … This cave also shows two primary colors which are of lighter shades of red-yellow and blue which are surrounded by a light blue hue and then a light pink hue … This is what I see from the center of ether where we sit right now and then the little student looked at the face of his eternal guide” …
The eternal guide smiled while he continued to catch the hand of the student and said … “Yes, this is the cave which is full of allness and this is also where each Not’ness of hidden impressional aspects is also within its apparent Is’ness … And yes, this is the cave which ensures that the entire microcosm (and thus the macrocosmic matrix) runs such that it never is short of the requisite flows … This is how it has always been since eternity and this is how it would also be until eternity … And yes, this is the only cave where the Adrishya Samskaras or the hidden impressions can ever reside” …
Initial cleansing of cave of Prana or Prana Guna of heart …
Then the eternal guide looked at the student and said “Transfer all there is within the cave to the same cave of fire of austerities (or the Yoga Agni Guha)” …
And the eternal guide said “Do this with the same cause and effect which was generated by the first cleansing that was of the cave of consciousness” …
And then the guide pointed to one impression which denoted the effect which was generated from the cause that was of cleansing of the cave of consciousness and this impression was still present within the cave of consciousness …
And then the eternal guide said … “That impression is the final effect of the cause which was undergone for cleansing the cave of consciousness … The earlier cause which was of unseeding the impressions of the cave of consciousness, had generated a singular effect and that effect is the impression which is still lying in the cave of consciousness” …
And then the eternal guide again pointed to that impressional effect and said … “Even when all other impressions of the cave of consciousness were cleansed (unseeded), but this impression remained as it was the singular effect of the cause, which as such was of unseeding of all impressions of the cave of consciousness … Thus, this impression which is still present in the cave of consciousness is the ‘singular effect (singular fruit)’ of the ‘overall cause (overall deeds)’ which was undergone by this one (Little student) for unseeding all the impressions of the cave of consciousness … And due to this reason, this singular impression has all the subtle components of that earlier deed of unseeding the impressions of the cave f consciousness” …
The little student nodded in understanding …
Then the eternal guide continued further … This singular effect which was generated through the cause which as such was of cleansing of all impressions of the cave of consciousness is the one which would have to be used as cause for further cleansings of the other caves which are present within this cave of ether of heart … This would lead to following benefits …
- It would prevent generation of another effect and thus ultimately when we finish the unseeding of impressions of all other caves which are present within this cave of ether of heart, then just one last and final impression would be all that would be remaining as the final effect of this process …
- This would prevent multiple impressions to get generated due to multiple cleansings of these caves which are present in the cave of ether of heart … And thus ultimately there would be less impressions to deal with after we finish the entirety of transit through this highly hidden knowledge system of Hridayakasha Garbha Tantra …
- Thus the singular effect of cleansing of the previous cave, would be used as the singular cause for the next cleansing … And this would generate a singular effect of that cleansing too, which would again be utilized as the singular cause for further cleansings that would be done in other caves too … This would ultimately lead to a state where only one last and final impression would remain as the final or end effect of this unseeding of all impressions of all caves that are present within the cave of ether of heart …
- And as we keep utilizing the singular effect (i.e. singular impression) of earlier cleansing repeatedly and for all further caves, then that singular impression (which denotes the singular effect of the preceding cleansing) would also keep fruiting further and with each fruiting it would also keep getting subtler and subtler … And by the time we finish this cleansing of all the caves that are present within the cave of ether of heart, that finally generated impression (i.e. the final effect) would be so subtle that it can travel up to the Shivarandra and thence exit out …
Stages after cleansing of the cave of Prana … Or cave of Panch Prana …
Then the eternal guide continued further … After this stage, you would pass through the following stages …
- The being in heart is Brahma … And thence would be the stage of self realization of …
- Guha Kaivalya … Cave of liberation … And thence would be the stage of self realization of …
- The being in eye is Brahma … And thence would be the stage of self realization of …
- Then would be the stage of self realization of OM Naad … This is as heard as the sound of Omkar or the sound of OM … And thence would be the stage of self realization of …
- Shiva Taraka Naad … And thence would be the stage of self realization of …
- Ashtama chakra … This is also termed as the eighth Chakra and also as eighth chakra of Yoga Tantra and Vedas … And thence would be the stage of self realization of …
- This would lead to various self realizations like those of Randra (or secret crevices or secret doors or secret gateways), Shivalingam which are present within and beyond a microcosm (i.e. Lingams within and beyond) and then is also arrived those self realizations which are of Siddha Sharira and Loka …
- And then would be the completion of Sadashiva Pradakshina … This would be where the entirety of five faces of Sadashiva (i.e. of Pancha Mukha Sadashiva) and its many-many aspects would be self realized …
- And then would be the stage of self realized understanding of Vedic Mahavakya (or in other words Vedic great statements) … This knowledge of Mahavakya is the final knowledge as there is nothing beyond it …
- Then would you be entering into another very secretive and thus hidden knowledge system, which as such is of Kaalchakra and which means as the wheel of time and also as the eternal cycle of time …
- The path of all above self realizations and also those self realizations which I have not told here, is also having a singular foundation, which also is none other than Hridayakasha Garbha Tantra, into which we are proceeding right now …
The little student was amazed by what was told by the eternal guide …
Then the eternal guide continued further … “Thus in this Hridayakasha Garbha Tantra, the impression which gets generated as effect to the previous cause of cleansing of a preceding cave, is to be used as cause for the next job of cleansing of the further cave … And this continues until all the caves have been unseeded of their impressions … This in the end would lead to state where just one last and final impression would be all tat would be remaining as the final effect of the entire process of unseeding of all the impressions of all the caves that are present within the cave of ether of heart … And this last impression would be the one which would be coming out of your Shivarandra (which itself is a part of the secret knowledge of Panch Randra, that is also a part of the attributeless vehicle or Nirgunyana) … Ultimately this self realization would be leading you into Poorna Sannyasa or in other words, it would lead to a stage where this one (little student) would enter into a stage of “full, final and permanent renunciation of allness and her each part” … This is through a self realization of Parabrahman (which means as the Supreme being or the Absolute being or Nirgun Nirakaar Brahm) and who in Vedas is also the one who is addressed as Parambrahma and the same is also the one whom Vedic sages have also addressed as Brahman … This is the stage which was told as …
Know Brahman, to be Brahman …
Knower of Brahman, becomes Brahman …
One who self realizes Brahman, knows himself (or herself) as Brahman …
Knower of Brahman is none other than Brahman, even in an incarnated form …
The eternal guide continued … As the singular impression (i.e. singular) effect gets generated through these repeated cleansings and then the same singular impression is again used as a case for the further cleansings, then there ultimately remains only one last and final impression … And this is what can be termed as Antim Samskara … This Antim Samskara would ultimately be evicted out of your Shivarandra and thence it would dissolve (i.e. vanish from sight) and get transferred to that little child whose physical vehicle you had taken over so as to enter this world by adopting the path of transmigration of soul … And once this happens, then you shall be liberated whilst still incarnated (i.e. be a Jeevanmukta) … This is the state which in Yogic lore is told as an “impressionless state of consciousness (Samskara Rahit Awastha of Chitta) and the proof of this is the self-manifestation of Bodhichitta within such an aspirant … This is what was told as Satchidanand by Vedic sages …
The student did not understand as the first thought came “This one’s existence also ends here” … And then the little student looked at the guide, pointed to himself and asked clarification “would the existence of this one also ends here” …
The eternal guide smiled and said “You had detached to these even prior we met for the first time, so this one would really end here” …
The little student again asked humbly “does this mean the end of the macrocosmic matrix” …
The eternal guide laughed loud and said while smiling “No my dear, this is the cave of your heart only and not the cave of the macrocosmic matrix … Though a similar cave also exists within the macrocosmic matrix (cyclic existence or Samsara), but we are just concerned with your tiny microcosm and not the entire macrocosmic matrix (cyclic existence or Samsara) … No one can touch the macrocosmic matrix or change its Its’ness, unless the two mega entities (Purusha and Prakriti) minds take their own course and change its Its’ness … So don’t think so much and just do as you are told” …
Cleansing of the Prana Guha or cave of Panch Prana and Panch Upa Prana …
The little student did as was told … He began to sweep slowly and such that all the hidden impressions, visible impressions (Adrishya and Drishya Samskaras) and their flows and also their states which were apparent as non-flow were removed from the cave of Prana and then he dumped all of them the cave of the fire of austerities (or the Yoga Agni Guha) and this was also after the student had detached to all there was in the cave of ether and beyond … All visible and invisible impressions entered the cave of fire of austerities … And at this time the fiery light in cave of fire of austerities became huge … A very loud crackling sound emerged initially and then some sounds of disintegrating impressions continued for a while prior these sounds completely stopped as the fire of cave of austerities became normal again … Then the little student looked and the eternal guide and said “done as told” …
The eternal guide again looked at the little student and said “Look again at the cave of Prana … There is still something left” …
The student looked and saw what the guide was pointing to and said “within the middle of each of those five colors of five Prana (Panch Prana) is a light blue hue and this light blue is like a connection of these five colors of five Prana’s … This is where something is still there” … As also each of the five colors of Prana are still having something like subtle impressional aspects within them” …
The eternal guide smiled and replied “Yes, each of the five colors are of the five Prana’s or the five vital airs and each of the light blue colors are the five Upa Prana (or Panch Upa Prana or the five sub vital airs) and between them, there still remain some impressional aspects … So, now you have to shift all of these remaining aspects into the cave of fire of austerities (or the Yoga Agni Guha) and whilst doing this job, you also have to use the same impression which was generated as the last effect of the previous cleaning, so in the end there remains just one impression as the final effect of Hridayakasha Garbha Tantra and thus just that last and final impression needs to be taken care of, in the end of this exercise” …
As the little student nodded in understanding, the eternal guide said “Where ever is the flow greater, that must be taken care of, first” …
The student saw that towards the cave of the red colored action, the flow was greater as compared to the side which was towards the cave of consciousness … and told this observation to the eternal guide …
And once the guide gave an affirmative, the student began transferring the remaining impressions (which actually are like impurities within the path of liberation) of the cave of Prana, into the cave of austerities (or the Yoga Agni Guha) … Once completed, the little student again looked up towards the face of eternal guide to know his opinion …
The eternal guide pointed in the direction of cave of Prana and said “there is still something remaining, so its not fully completed … Thus, now you must again utilize the same impression which was generated as the effect of your last cleansing, so you do not originate any impression other than the final fruited impression in the end … And thus, we have just that one last and final impression to unseed in the end of this entire exercise” …
The little student did as instructed by the eternal guide and when it was completed, he again looked at the eternal guide for further comments …
The eternal guide said “Good, but this job is best done with a will prior even the job is done … And as soon as this caves cleansing is begun and till it ends and as well as till it is being done, the same detachment must be maintained as is at the intersection of the 8th mega spheres of the two mega entities (Prakriti and Purusha) … When done with such a detachment, then the need to do all these separately and repeatedly would not even arise” …
And then the eternal guide smiled and said “Redo this cleansing with an inner detachment and then only would t be done for good … Unless there is a detachment to the act that one is doing, the further detachment to the generated effect would never be there … And such a stage would lead to attachment to the generated effect, which itself leads to bondage to that effect and which further becomes as a reason for continuity within the sufferings of cyclic existence … This is also a part of Kama (desires) that are a part of ‘Purushartha Chatushtaya (i.e. the four Purushartha)’ and where to be a part of Purushartha, the ‘Kama (desire)’ must also be rooted in a state of “Nishkama (detachment from effects of desires)’ … The Kama of Purushartha, denotes Nishkama and thus to get the final benefit of liberation (Moksha, which as such is the fourth Purushartha), Nishkama Kama is a requirement which cannot be bypassed … So, unless the Kama itself is rooted in Nishkama Bhava (feeling of detachment from effects of desires), the final Purushartha i.e. Moksha (or liberation) can never be attained … Thus detachment is a vital part of the path of liberation” …
Then the eternal guide continued … “And use the same impression of the last effect i.e. the impression which the last cleaning has generated, so we just have one pure and fruited impression to unseed in the end” …
The student willed that all that is not a prana, consciousness, knowledge and wisdom, within the cave of Prana shall be swept in just one sweep and then these shall be put within the cave of fire of austerities (or Yoga Agni Guha) …
And then he immediately detached to all the caves, the cause that was being caused and the effect that would be generated by that cause and swept to put all there is willed into the cave of fire of austerities (or Yoga Agni Guha) …
A huge fire again rose from within the cave of fire of austerities (or Yoga Agni Guha) … This fire lasted for a while and even those subtle impressions which were not even known to existent (to the little student) also ended up in this fire of austerities … The little student felt that all the hidden and visible impressions were now subjected to the cave of fire of austerities (or Yoga Agni Guha) …
This was the stage when the little student saw, that all the caves that were present in the womb of ether of heart, began to let go of all their impressions (hidden impressions and visible impressions) … And all these impressions from all the caves also ended up in cave of fire of austerities … And as per the what was visible to the little student at that time, he felt that all impressions were also getting unseeded …
And then the eternal guide told the student “One big sweep in all the caves at the same time to complete this job and do this while remaining within that same dispassion or detachment as is at the intersection of the 8th spheres of the two mega entities (Purusha and Prakriti) … And utilize the same impression of the last effect which the last cleaning has generated, so we just have one pure and fruited impression to unseed in the end” …
The little student again willed that all the impressions, non impressions (left over energy fields of impressions), hidden impressions and hidden non impressions (hidden left over energy fields of impressions), visible and non visible channels of these impressions (and their energies) in all the caves and all afflictions shall be swept in this sweep and then he immediately detached from the effect of this thought and swept all the caves at the same time (i.e. swept all caves that were present in the cave of ether of heart) …
The fire within the cave of fire of austerities (or Yoga Agni Guha) was so huge that it even spread into the entire of ether which is enveloping the cave of Prana … As also the fire had spread into all the caves that were present within the cave of ether of heart and the same fire of the cave of austerities was ultimately extending till the end of reach of sight and maybe, even further beyond … The fire was so large that is came till the eternal guide and the little student and enveloped the two, as they were then sitting in the middle of the cave of ether … This vast state of fire which originated from the cave of austerities lasted for a while and then it subsided after the cleansing was completed i.e. after the crackling sounds of unseeding of impressions had ended, the fire also subsided and was returned back into the cave of fire of austerities” …
Prana can neither be created nor destroyed … Knowledge of Prana …
The eternal guide continued telling thus … “Prana’s are the vital life airs and these cannot be cleansed unless programmed cleanings are done repeatedly over a period of time … As also the Prana can neither be created nor can they be destroyed, as within their cave these are even superior to the cave of action and thus any cleaning (non-annihilation here) which could be done on qualities of action (Rajoguna) and it also cannot be done on the quality of inertia (Tamoguna), cannot even be done on the Prana’s (or the vital air) … But this does not make these Prana’s superior to the quality of action (Rajo Guna) or to the quality of inertia (Tamo Guna), as Prana’s are just a manifestation of the three qualities (Triguna) itself … The manifestation of Prana was to ensure that an eternity of activity ever remains within the Maker’s Makings and where this activity was based upon three aspects of macrocosmic attributes, i.e. action (Rajoguna), inertia (Tamoguna) and neutrality (Sattvaguna) … Thus, the five vital airs (Panch Prana) ensure action and five sub-vital airs (Panch Upa Prana) ensure inertia and the Five Prana with five Upa Prana as a whole ensure maintenance of macrocosmic neutrality quotient … All this is what makes the elements also eternal” …
The eternal guide continued speaking … “Prana denote the vitality (energy) which runs the macrocosmic creation and where this energy is in her five main and five sub aspects, which are known as five vital airs and five sub vital airs respectively … Matter is a condensed state of Prana (energy or force or vitality which drives everything) and energy is the subtle dissolved state of matter …Thus when energy condenses , matter forms and when matter dissolutes, then it returns back to its original energy state … Due to this and as far as the relation of matter and energy is concerned, there is an inter convertibility of allness” …
And the eternal guide continued … Unless Prana is pervaded by neutral wisdom, knowledge, consciousness and Prana is also having a relation to the three macrocosmic attributes and five elements, Prana would be self destructive and all destructive … And in such a case, path of self realization would never be passing through the self realization of five Prana and five Upa Prana … But this is not the case, so Prana is controlled by its pervaders” …
Relation of Prana and Air element …
The eternal guide continued … “When Prana is out of the microcosm, it is macro-elemental air (Air element) … And when we breathe that air, then it is called as Prana … Outside of a microcosm, the Prana is macro-elemental air and inside of the microcosm, that same macro-elemental air, is what Prana actually means … And since the same is also applicable to the macrocosm, so whether we call the macro-elemental state of air, as air or Prana, it really does not matter as these two entities which are denoted by these two words, are interchangeable too … And it is due to this interchangeability that Pranayama became a part of the path of Yoga Tantra” …
The eternal guide continued and said … “Now listen to this carefully, as this is the further state of this discussion on Prana … Animated state of air which is within a microcosm and macrocosm, is Prana … This animated state is based upon a wise, knowledgeable, conscious state of activity … That Part of Prana, which is not such, is macro-elemental air (Vayu Mahabhuta) and that part of the same Prana, which is such, is what was termed as Prana … That part of macro-elemental air, which is called Prana is wise, knowledgeable and is also based upon conscious activity, is the one whom self realized sages had termed through a statement of “Prana Brahma” which means Prana is a directly self expressed, directly self manifested and a direct self presence of the Absolute being … And that part of macro-elemental air (Vayu Mahabhoot), which is not called Prana, is not the one which was denoted by this statement of “Prana Brahma” …
The eternal guide further said … “Prana is thus that part of macro-elemental air which is wise, knowledgeable, conscious and active and since wisdom, knowledge, consciousness and activity is of the Supreme being, so Prana in its finality is none other than the Absolute being (Parabrahman) … This is why the self realized, all realized sages had used the statement of Prana Brahma” …
The eternal guide continued even further … “And on the contrary, macro-elemental air is that part of Prana, which is not such … But this doesn’t make macro-elemental air to be inferior that Prana because both are a self expression, self manifestation and self presence of the same Absolute being within these two states … In reality, everything is a self expression of the same Absolute being (Brahman) and yet that Absolute being ‘only stays’ as a witness of all and not as a doer or reaper of anything” …
The eternal guide continued further and told … “The air macro-element is grosser than the qualities of action and inertia … The Prana is pervaded by the flows of cave of neutrality (of wisdom) prior it is pervaded by the flows of the caves of other two qualities of action and inertia … This is because, wisdom is subtler that action and inertia … This is so as there was no other way to ensure an essential innermost eternity of neutral flows and thus an eternity of neutral dynamism within the corpus of dynamism of all microcosm’s that exist within the macrocosmic creation … Thus, even when se see each microcosm going their own paths, yet the corpus of flows and dynamism of all microcosm’s have always maintained a net neutrality and where this net neutrality is also of a state of sameness to the quality of wisdom … That which is not based upon neutrality towards allness and her each part, is not denoting wisdom … That which doesn’t denote neutrality of wisdom, can never be a path of liberation as such paths only leads to a cyclic state of peace and chaos and it is due to this reason, that, monotheism (individualism of any sort) has never been and cannot ever be as a path to long lasting peace” …
The eternal guide continued … “Pluralistic monism is the basis of the Maker’s Makings, where everything is individual and yet when we see the corpus of allness, then we see a base neutrality which is also based upon an essential monism … And this is also such that, even when everything is proceeding towards their respective destinations and thus everything is also resting within their respective evolutionary paths, yet the net corpus of dynamism of the entire macrocosmic creation is always maintained in a state of neutrality and this neutrality is also such that it is of sameness to the quality of neutrality of wisdom (or Sattvaguna) … This also means, that in their entire corpus as it is within the macrocosmic creation, all these differences are leading to a net neutrality of the macrocosmic corpus of flows and dynamism … And this itself is maintained by the fact, that the quality of neutrality of wisdom (Sattva Guna) is the subtler of all aspects of the begun state of macrocosmic creation and thus this quality of neutrality (of wisdom) is also pervading everything that has ever begun within the Makers Makings, including the Prana … As also, since the evolutionary process is also such that each of the pervaded is always proceeding towards the condition (or state) of the pervader, so even when the pervaded may seem to be different from each other, yet the final resultant of their evolutionary process is always in sameness to their final pervader, who is also the subtler of all and which in our discussion is none other than the quality of neutrality (of wisdom)” …
The eternal guide continued … “Had this not been so, then due to absence of neutrality within the macrocosm and microcosm’s, everything would have been chaotic … Due to this reason, within the cave of ether, everything is also pervaded by the quality of neutrality of wisdom, and this is even when, we also see a hierarchy of pervadement by the subtler’s … The neutral wisdom pervades knowledge, which pervades consciousness, which pervades Prana, which pervades action, which pervades inertia and then inertia pervades the macro-elements … And this is even when, ether (Akash Mahabhoot) which actually is a macro-element is the one in which everything rests because ether (Akasha Mahabhuta) itself is the better of all shock absorbers …
The eternal guide continued … “These shock could come only from action or inertia … Action for excess of shock or excess of flow, and inertia for under of flows or this means that shocks also could be when the microcosm has inadvertently resided within an under of flow and dynamism, or inertia” …
The little student nodded in agreement as this is what looked as the best option to ensure a smooth progress of such a delicate physical vehicle …
The eternal guide continued “The five Prana (five viral airs) have their own specific colors and each of these five Prana’s are separated from each other, by their respective Upa Prana (sub vital airs) and the entire corpus of Prana and Upa Prana is enveloped by fifth Prana (Vyana Prana) which is of a light pink hue … This is the reason, why the vital air sheath is seen to be of a light pink color when we see it whilst we are stationed out of the cave of Prana … However when we shall be inside the cave of Prana, then this pink color shall not even show up at that time, unless we enter the sub-cave of the pink colored Vyana Prana … When inside the cave of Prana, the colors we shall see would be of the Prana in which we reside, so if we are within the area of Apana Prana, then the seen color would be of red and if we go to the area where Prana-Prana is there, then we would see the color as yellow and so forth for other Prana’s” …
The eternal guide continued … “We shall now discuss these five Prana (or five vital airs) and five Upa Prana (or five sub-vital airs), but commencing from the cave of action where the highly active state of prana is there and then proceed to the lesser active state of prana (i.e. subtler state of prana) as is towards the cave of consciousness” …
Proceeding to cave of Panch Prana or cave of five vital airs …
With this word the eternal guide caught the hand of the little student as they again got up from the central area of cave of ether where they were sitting at that time, and began walking towards the cave of prana so as to enter the cave of prana (or the cave of vital air and sub vital air), but from the side of the cave of action …
The eternal guide said pointing to the little student “This is a good cave to be in especially when this one has not been inside it before, as too many colors are visible at each state … So first we shall enter the pink colored Vyana Prana again and then study this pink colored vital air from within its own sub-cave that is also present inside the cave of Prana” …
And the eternal guide further said … “This pink is always the first color that is visible when we study the Prana, as the pink colored Vyana Prana completely envelopes this cave of vital and sub vital airs (Cave of Prana) … And at the same time when one enters into the cave of Prana, one must be based within sameness to the subtlety of neutrality (of wisdom) as was explained to you earlier on … And remember that, the subtlety of neutrality (of wisdom) is to be held (one must be based in sameness of subtlety of neutrality of wisdom) until we finally exit from the Hridayakasha Garbha (The womb of ether of heart)” …
And the eternal guide also said … “Prior we enter this cave of prana, just remember that each prana (or vital air) was originally of the same subtlety, but it still manifested in a differing subtlety due to its placement within the cave of prana (or cave of vital airs) … And thus, the Prana’s which remained further from consciousness, became grosser and this is what led to a certain hierarchy within these vital airs as far as their subtlety or grossness) was concerned … But this hierarchy was also to ensure capability to handle both subtler and grosser aspects of evolutionary process … However when an aspirant becomes arrived at an impressionless state of consciousness (i.e. Samskara Rahit Awastha of Chitta), then these Prana’s are of the same subtlety and thus are of the same color of neutrality of wisdom, i.e. when an impressionless state of consciousness is achieved, then all Prana’s and Upa Prana’s become of a pure white color … This white color is of sameness to the ninth sphere of Makers Makings, which in Vedic texts is also told as Para Prakriti … And as the aspirant evolves further than the ninth sphere of macrocosmic creation, a stage arrives where these Prana arrive at a state of macro-neutrality (i.e. neutrality towards allness and her each part) and thus are seen to be of a diamond white color, which itself is of sameness to Sadyojata face of Sadashiva, which in Vedic lore is also addressed as the abode of creator (or Brahmaloka) and this is what the self realized sages had termed as attainment of Prana Brahma which means many aspects, like vitality is the absolute being, vitality is the path to self realization of the absolute being, vitality is a self expressed condition of the absolute being, etc., etc., …
The eternal guide continued “But above also means, that, this hierarchy is temporary … And this hierarchy only came into being due to the fact, that even when it (Prana) essentially was one, but yet it desired to be many and thus many it became (Ekohum Bahusyami) … This was as it obliged to what was desired by it, and which itself was under its detachment to allness, which also was to itself” …
The little student nodded in understanding …
