Samana Prana and Krukul Upa Prana

Samana Prana or Samana has its own sub vital air called Krukul Upa Prana or Krakal Upa Prana. Both Samana and Krukul or Krakal or Krikala move in an inward direction … These are present in the navel area of the physical body …

This topic continues from the previous one which had the header of “Cleansing of Cave of Prana or Prana Guha” … This is the tenth part of this series of topics on Hridayakasha Garbha Tantra

Samana Prana, macro-equanimity or Sarva Samta and Brahmaloka …

The eternal guide said …

“The next vital air is the one which accumulates all that is on its sides and brings it to the center and thus it is names as Samana Prana … Samana Prana means the prana of sameness or the vital air of equanimity … This equanimity is in its real middle or its center … This 2nd vital air (Samana Prana) also relates to Brahmaloka (or the abode of creator) and thus it is also related to the western face of Shiva, which as such is termed as the Sadyojata face of Shiva … Equanimity is always of the ‘four faced grandfather and creator of allness (i.e. Chatur Mukha Pitamah Brahma) who had self manifested out of the Sadyojata face of Sadashiva” …

The eternal guide continued … “This equanimity is due to the fact, that the real middle of the Samana Prana is denoting a state of equanimity and since equanimity is of a subtle white color, so the real middle of Samana Prana is found to be of a white color … This 2nd vital air is such that it has an inward pull i.e. it pulls everything towards its own center and since it’s center is rooted in equanimity (Samta), so this 2nd vital air ensures that the equanimity is always maintained in the center” …

The eternal guide continued speaking … “And since all these vital airs, including the currently discussed Samana Prana are omnipresent (i.e. these vital airs are present everywhere and in everything), so due to the presence of Samana Prana in everything and everywhere, the middle of everything is always rooted in the same equanimity as is of Samana Prana … It was due to this reason that equanimity (or Samta) became one of the important aspects of all Yoga Tantra and the reason of this is equanimity, which itself is of Samana Prana, as is being discussed here” …

 

Samana Prana, subtle white body and Diamond white body …

Then the eternal guide continued further … “The Siddha body of this equanimity, which itself is of the Samana Prana, is the subtle white body … This subtle white body relates to ninth sphere of nature, which in the lore’s of Gautama Buddha (previous incarnations Gurudeva) is also termed as cloud nine because it is like a very subtle white cloud … And within the Vedic and Yogic lore’s, the same ninth sphere of nature is also called as Para Prakriti, which means as the nature of beyond (or beyond nature) … Presence of Para Prakriti within the human microcosm is in the navel area and that too in the real-middle of Samana Prana as is being discussed here … During the origination process of the Maker’s Makings, Para Prakriti was the first sphere of nature to get self originated and thus during the evolutionary process, which as such is the reverse of the origination process, Para Prakriti would have to be the last sphere of macrocosmic nature, that would be self realized by any aspirant” …

The eternal guide continued further and said … “But in reality, as the aspirants consciousness (Chitta), mind sheath (Manomaya Kosha) and vitality (i.e. Prana) get firmly based in equanimity, which itself is of the Samana Prana that is present in the navel area and thence the aspirant sees this equanimity as himself (or herself) which means being in non-dual oneness with equanimity and where that equanimity is also seen to be omnipresent (as Para Prakriti being the subtler of all other spheres of nature, is also pervading all that is a part of nature), then that aspirant actually reaches a state of equanimity towards all that ever is … This is the stage of entering into macro-equanimity or that stage, where that aspirant’s inner equanimity becomes all pervading, all enveloping and thus all present … This leads to the manifestation of a diamond white body, which is also addressed as diamond white Siddha body, diamond white Buddha body and the same siddha body can also be called as the Brahma Sharira (or the body of the creator of allness) because this Siddha Sharira (Siddha body) directly relates to Brahma Loka (abode of Brahma) … And due to this relation, this diamond white body also merges (unites) and thence also becomes absorbed (dissolved) in the same Brahmaloka” …

 

Samana Prana and Yuga Sthapak …

The eternal guide continued further and told … “Thus, this diamond white colored Siddha body eventually enters into the pristine abode of creator, which in Vedic texts is termed as Brahma Loka … The aspirant who holds this body is like the creator (or Brahma) incarnated in human form … Such an aspirant can create anything, including but not limited to laying a subtle yet strong foundation for manifestation of a human golden age cycle (Manav Satyuga, which has a time span of about 10,000 human solar years) even when the time spans are of the much longer divine degenerate age cycle (Deva Kaliyuga, which has a time span of 4.32 million human solar years as per middle time units of precession as were utilized by all Vedic sages) … Such an aspirant holds the Upadhi (connotation or macrocosmic title) of being a Yuga Sthapak (or one who lays the foundational knowledge of an age cycle that is about to come to that world) … During the creation of worlds, such aspirants assist the creator and as the personal assistants of the creator itself … Such aspirants cannot ever be mediums of any deity as they by themselves are like creator in a human bodied form, and whom all other Devas (divine beings) assist whenever they enter a world for laying down the foundations of an incoming age cycle (Yuga) … Such an aspirant is also the one who has self realized the essence of the Vedic Mahavakya (i.e. Vedic great statement or Vedic mega statement) of Samaveda, which is told as TatTvamAsi, and which in layman terms, means as, Thou Art That (or You Are That) … In this Great statement (Mahavakya), the word ‘You or Thou’ refers to the innermost essence (or Atman or simply the soul) of that aspirant and the word ‘That’ refers to the attributeless infinite Absolute being (Nirgun Nirakaar Brahm) and all the self expressions of the Absolute being, which as such are stated as “Saguna Sakara (which means as attributed yet in a form), Saguna Nirakara (which means as attributed and yet in a formless state) and as Nirguna Nirakara (which means as attributeless and thus infinite) … In the word Nirguna Nirakara, when the word Nirakara, which means formless, unites to Nirguna, which means attributeless, then that formless is actually infinite” …

The little student nodded in understanding …

 

Samana Prana, Sattva Guna and Nabhi Lingam …

Then the eternal guide said … “Thus, due to universal presence of these Prana’s, including the currently discussed Samana Prana, the center of everything  always has an inward pull from all directions and as the center is arrived, that center always has a very subtle white light, which denotes equanimity … Equanimity is also of the macrocosmic attribute of neutrality, which in Sanskrit texts is termed as the macrocosmic attribute of equanimity, macrocosmic attribute of neutrality and as Sattva Guna … The same is with these vital airs, as when they reach the center, due to the inward pull which is exerted by Samana Prana, then they also enter into the same equanimity which is at the real-middle of Samana Prana” …

The eternal guide continued speaking … “Behind the navel and towards the spinal column, is a very subtle bunch of nerves in the subtle body (Sookshma Sharira) … These nerves are 330 million (33 crores) in number and they merge at that place so as to form a bent Shivalingam like shape … This Shivalingam is bent in a direction which is towards the spine … This Lingam is also addressed as the Linga of navel (or in other words, as the Naabhi Lingam) and it denotes the presence of Sadyojata face in the aspirants navel region … And since Sadyojata is directly related to the creator of allness (i.e. Brahma Deva), so this is why Brahma resides in the navel, as was told by the self realized, all realized Vedic sages … And it is due to this reason, the umbilical cord of a new born baby is also connected to the navel area of the babies body and this itself is because the process of creation of anything, which itself is related to Brahma Deva (creator of allness) and whose divinities are also present in the navel area, cannot happen from anywhere else … And this creation from navel is due to the same fact as is told in Vedic scriptures, that, Brahma was self-born out of the lotus of navel of Sri Vishnu … As also, since the birth of creator (Brahma) itself was from the navel (of Sri Vishnu), so within the creation of creator, including the creation of animate babies, the process of birth of anything could not have been from anywhere else … Thus, the Vedic sages had also said, that, Brahma Deva (creator of allness) was self born from the navel of Sri Vishnu and the entire macrocosmic creation is also resting in the womb of that creator, which as such is like a golden colored egg which has been addressed as Hiranyagarbha Brahma in Vedic lore … All parts of speciology are thus told to be resting in this golden womb of creator (Hiranyagarbha) … And believe it or nor, everything is born out of the womb of its parent and irrespective of whether that womb is as an egg or as the womb of mammals, womb of mist or anything else and each has its own umbilical cord, irrespective of whether that cord is of a physical or of a subtle nature” …

The little student was amazed at this correlation …

 

Samana Prana, Nabhi Lingam and Brahmacharya …

The eternal guide continued … “As these vital airs get inwardly pulled by Samana Prana and then they reach the real middle of Samana, these vital airs also enter equanimity to one another, which as such is of very subtle matt white color … And after this stage, if the aspirant continues with his (or her) austerities, then this bunch of 33 crore subtle nerves also becomes arrived at a matt white color … This stage denotes perfection of Brahmacharya (Celibacy) and after this stage, even the glans (of the penis) of that aspirant becomes of a white color … This denotes the accomplishment of root of celibacy, which itself is the divinity of creator” …

Then the eternal guide further told … “This stage denotes the finality of celibacy and it lasts until a few weeks after rise of Kundalini Shakti, that also begins from this stage … But the rise of Kundalini of such an aspirant, is in the state of being the ‘Chitta Kundalini (Kundalini of absolute consciousness)’ and this category of Kundalini is the one which rises upwards from a location that is close to the base of spine .. This type of Kundalini is the one which goes past the ‘thousand petalled lotus of the brain (Sahasrara Chakra or Brahmarandra chakra or simply the 7th chakra)’ so as to eventually reach into the Ashtama Chakra (i.e. the eighth chakra) … And the path of rise of this type of Kundalini is via the ‘Sound of Ram (Sound of Lord Rama)’ which as such is the Shiva Taraka Naad and which is also called as the liberating mantra of Lord Shiva (i.e. Shiva Taraka Mantra)” …

The eternal guide continued further … “This matt white colored, very subtle Shivalinga which manifests in the navel region of the body is placed about two to three finger breadths below the navel and towards the spine … When an aspirant controls lower desires, then the equanimity manifests within the central part of the merging airs which are pulled inwards by the inherently present natural forces of the 2nd vital air (or Samana Prana) … And once the lower desires have extinguished for a certain period of time, then even this Shivalingam also seen to be of matt white color, and it is as if matt white colored chalk dust is liberally sprayed on this Shivling … Usually this Linga of Navel area is of matt white color when neutrality is initially arrived at by an aspirant and over time, as and when this neutrality is directed towards allness and her each part i.e. an aspirant enters into Sarva Samta (or macro-equanimity), then at this stage, this Shivaling of the navel can also be seen to be of a diamond white color … This is the stage of being Brahma manifest (i.e. Brahma manifested as the aspirant)” …

Then the eternal guide caught the hand of little student and started walking inside the cave of Prana … And after covering some distance, the eternal guide pointed to a yellowish green hue and said … “This is where the Samana prana or the 2nd vital air begins” …

The little student saw and nodded in understanding …

 

Prior and after cleansing of Samana Prana and Krukul Upa Prana …

The eternal guide said … “This is the color of Samana when it is still not purified by Yogic austerities … And once this Prana would be purified, then it would be of a white color and where this white color would also be same as the white color which is present is in the real-middle of this Samana Prana … Thus, basis the current color of this 2nd vital air, it is pretty apparent that it is still not cleansed of its impurities” …

 

Samana Prana, its flows and dynamism and aura …

And then the guide continued to walk and said … “This 2nd vital air (Samana Prana) is surrounded or enveloped from all sides by the 2nd sub vital air (Krukul Upa Prana or Krikala Upa Prana or Krakal Upa Prana) … As also the 2nd vital air draws the flows towards its center from all the sub vital airs (all Upa Prana) and then projects the flows towards the 2nd sub vital air, which further takes these vital air flows to the 5th sub vital air (Vyana Prana) and this 5th sub vital air then sends back these vital air flows to the respective sub vital airs from where the 2nd vital air had originally absorbed these flows towards  its center … Thus, due to this function of the Samana Prana, it can also be called as the balancer, the assimilator and dissipater, the accumulator and distributor, the neutral Prana, The prana of equality and the equanimous Prana … And this 2nd vital air could even be termed as macro-neutral vital air, once equanimity is arrived towards all there really is … As also, since this is the vital air within which the flow is towards the center, so when we are studying this vital air (Samana) then we shall have to be stationed at a point which is not at the exact center of this and or else its diverse flows and dynamism cannot even be studied by us” …

The eternal guide continued “Unless there is assimilation of prana at a point, the union within the various manifestations of prana cannot even be within its various manifested forms … But since this 2nd vital air has flows towards its own center, so this Prana is also the Prana where a union takes place” …

And then the eternal guide pointed to the center and told the student “See the converging of each air at the center of this 2nd vital air” …

The little student saw and agreed, but also thought, how to draw any figure with these flows, dynamism and colors that are seen of these vital airs and their sub vital airs (i.e. Prana’s or Upa Prana’s) and also reflect the pure shining white Shivalingam in the middle of that flow … This looks like an impossible job …

The eternal guide while pointing to the multi colored and multi dimensional flow that was converging in the middle of the 2nd vital air, then told … “No one can draw something like this, even the best of artists shall fail, so don’t bother about these things” …

And then the eternal guide continued with the lecture … “This 2nd vital air or 2nd Prana causes a balance to all other vital airs by taking in their excesses and thus it is a very important Prana as far as maintaining a harmony within the Vital air sheath (or the Pranic body or the vital air body) is concerned … As also the 2nd sub vital air (2nd Upa Prana) takes these of flows which are projected to it from the 2nd vital air and gives back to the 5th sub vital air (Dhananjaya Upa Prana), which further distributes it to all the sub vital airs … And also that, the 5th sub vital air (Dhananjaya Upa Prana) distributes the remainder of these vitalities to the 5th vital air (Vyana Prana), which are then sent out of the body (due to the outward flow of this 5th vital air) … This remainder which is given to the 5th vital air (Vyana) is of those flows which cannot be taken in back by these other sub vital airs and thus the 5th sub vital air (Dhananjaya Upa Prana) has no option but to give these back this excess (unabsorbed or un-dissipated excess) to the 5th vital air, which as we have discussed has an outward flow and this outward flow in turn manifests as the subtle aura which is present around each microcosm (including the aspirant) … This 5th vital air which takes in )or absorbs) the vitalities (or flows and dynamism) from all other the vital and sub vital airs, also has no option but to make these excesses to exit from the air body (or the air sheath or the Pranamaya Kosha) so as to prevent that stage where these excesses become as reasons for problems of the physical vehicle … And it is this excess that is evicted out the physical body by the 5th vital air or Vyana Prana (and which is due to the natural outwardly movement of Vyana Prana) is the one which manifests as the aura around the physical body … Thus a larger auric expanse around physical body also denotes that the vitality which is sent outwards of the body (by the 5th vital air or Vyana Prana) is also pretty huge and this condition also denotes that the aspirant is within those austerities which lead to excess of vitalities to be manifested within his (or) her physical vehicle and where these generated vitalities are much more than the natural capabilities of all these vital airs to absorb into themselves” …

The eternal guide continued further and said … “And as this unabsorbed quantum escapes out of the 5th vital air, it creates a vacuum within the vital air sheath and thus the inward flows of etheric cord (or silver cord which is present on top of the crown Chakra) enter inside the aspirant so as to fill up this vacuum … As such, those aspirants who have a higher inward flow within their diamond white colored etheric cord, also have a larger outflow and thus have larger and brighter auras” …

And then the eternal guide said … “Auras of most aspirants are extending about 3-7 feet from their physical bodies and some have slightly larger auras … But some aspirants have their auras extending till the end of the planet (in which their physical vehicle reside) … And those extremely rare, fully accomplished sages have even had their auras extending till the end of the macrocosmic matrix (multi-universe or Samsara or cyclic existence) and that too till that point where the cyclic existence (or macrocosmic matrix) merges with the macro-neutral greater whole … Such sages are the ones who denote the Vedic statement, which if translated in English means “As is microcosm So is macrocosm, As is macrocosm So is microcosm … Such sages know the fact, that if something cannot be seen (or realized or found) within their own microcosmic physical body, then it also doesn’t exist within the macrocosmic creation” … These are the same who rest in the essence of what was told as ‘Brahmand Yoga’ and they are like the entire multi-universe who has manifested in a human form (and that too, as that fully accomplished sage)” …

And then the eternal guide said … “Aspirants with such larger auras also have all or most of the cords of the mind body (i.e. the individual mind cords originating from each cellular mind, is opened up and where the corpus of cellular mind is what the mind body is) … Such aspirants also have etheric cords (silver or diamond white cords) of very huge sizes due to which the inwardly flows (from their silver cords) which enter into their crown chakra (thousand petalled lotus of brain) are also very huge … And since these inward flows within the etheric cord are based within the diamond white colored macro-equanimity (Sarva Samta) so such aspirants also denote the state where that macro-equanimity has gotten manifested in a human form (of that aspirant) … And since macro-equanimity is of the creator of allness (Brahma), so this state also denotes such aspirants are “Brahma manifest (i.e. creator who has self manifested in a human form and as that aspirant)” …

The eternal guide continued even further and said … “Such aspirants are the ones who hold extremely large sized auras … This large size of their aura is due to the fact that their inward flows and dynamism (i.e. the flows which enter into them from their huge sized etheric cord or silver cord which is located at the top of their brains) can never be fully consumed in their tiny physical microcosm (physical body) and due to this all that excess of vitality which is entering into their physical vehicle (from their own silver cord) gets evicted out of their 5th vital air (Vyana Prana) and thus this evicted excess is the one that becomes visible as their huge (and in some aspirants, macrocosmic) sized aura” …

And then the eternal guide told to listen carefully … “But if these inward flows (which are entering into the aspirants food sheath and vital air sheath) are so huge, that even the 5th vital air (Vyana Prana) cannot fully evict their excesses out of the physical vehicle, then at such a stage, the mind sheath (Manomaye Kosha) cuts in to assist and thus save the aspirants physical vehicle from harm that these excesses of flows and dynamism can also cause (to the aspirants physical vehicle) … Thus and so, it is only when the inward flows that enter into the vital air sheath (Pranamaye Kosha) are such that these (inward flows which are entering into the physical and vital air sheaths via the aspirants etheric cord) cannot ever be consumed by the body and they also are beyond the capability of the 5th vital air to dissipate them (or evict them out of the physical and vital air vehicles), then the mind sheath (Manomaya Kosha) is the one which cuts into action so as to ensure preservation of the physical and vital air sheath of that aspirant … And this is when the mind sheath, to preserve the physical vehicle, also remains with no option but to send these inward flows out of the individual cords of the cellular mind and towards the plane of mind” …

The eternal guide continued and told … “Since mind is an omnipresent entity, so when the mind cuts in a state as discussed here, then the balance is possible to be restored … Each cell has its own mind and the corpus of these cellular minds, is the mind body … And on similar lines, the corpus of all mind bodies, is the plane of mind … Thus, mind is also like like an entity who holds the status of being the final unity of all parts of allness, to allness itself (i.e. mind is the one who finally unites of allness to her each part and simultaneously the unity of all parts of allness, to allness itself) … Thus when the mind also cuts in to do this job of  eviction of vitality excesses, then the requisite balance can be very naturally restored between the inflows and outflows that are being discussed here … This state is always there in the fully accomplished sages, who have self-known (i.e. directly cognized) the truth of statement ‘I Am Universe’ or in other words, those sages whose attainments are such that they are like the ‘entire macrocosm manifest in a microcosmic human form’ and due to this reason, the dimension of their aura is also naught but macrocosmic in size” …

 

Mind pervades Prana … Prana pervades physical body … Prana ensure vitality …

The guide said … “All these Prana or vital airs are also there within the cave of mind and this is what we shall study when we reach that cave of mind … And when we shall study the mind sheath then, then we shall also see that the mind is the permeator (or pervader) of the vital air sheath … Where as within the cave of mind, it just the reverse because the Prana’s which are projected outwards from the cave of Prana’s, are seen as driving the cave of mind … And thus would reversal of function be known and as far as the mind body and its cave (as is present within the womb of ether of the heart) is concerned” …

The little student saw this and said “Yes … The mind sheath is subtler than air sheath and thus the mind pervades the air sheath … And at the same time, the mind body also accepts the drives the air sheath (or the Pranamaye Kosha) even when the air sheath does not pervade the mind sheath … But within their caves (as are present in this cave of ether of heart), the cave of prana or vital airs is subtler than the cave of mind and thus the cave of vital airs pervades the cave of mind and that, these vital and sub vital airs seem to be driving it (cave of mind) … As also, this is same as the reversal which was earlier seen within the 8th sphere of the mind of macrocosmic nature” …

The eternal guide said “Yes, as far as the mind is concerned, a reversal is the name of the game, where one scripture (or one wisdom text) says mind is superior in subtlety to Prana and another text says that the prana is superior to the mind … And the truth is that  both scriptures are correct, as the former was written basis a self realization of the mind and vital air sheaths and the latter was written while residing within the cave of the heart and after self realization of the caves of mind and vital air sheaths” …

The eternal guide continued … “The reason for Pranayama or yogic breathing exercises to be a part of Yoga Tantra was to ensure that the Pranic body (or the air body or Pranamaye Kosha) has enough excesses to carry out the outward flows from the 5th vital air (or Vyana) and this was to ensure that the air sheath remains cleansed up … And this eventually cleanses the entire food sheath (i.e. the physical vehicle) and also cleanses the mind sheath, because as far as the subtleties of these two (i.e. physical and air sheath) are concerned, the air body (or Pranamaye Kosha) is directly connected to the physical vehicle (or Annamaya Kosha) on one side of its subtlety and the same vital air sheath is also connected to the mind body (Manomaye Kosha) on other side of its subtlety … As far as the subtleties are concerned, the vital air sheath is of a higher subtlety as compared t the food sheath (physical body) and the same vital air sheath is of a lower subtlety as compared to the mind sheath … This is so because as far as the subtleties of these three sheaths (food sheath, vital air sheath and the mind sheath) are concerned, the vital air sheath is resting in the middle … And due to this reason, a cleansing of air body or vital air sheath, also carries out the cleansing of the mind sheath (or Manomaye Kosha) in addition to cleansing of the physical body … This is why Yogic Pranayama was made a part of Yoga Tantra as it has a two way effect, which acts on both the subtler mind and the grosser physical vehicle” …

The little student nodded in affirmative for understanding what was told by the eternal guide …

 

 

Characteristics and jobs of Samana Prana and Krukul Upa Prana …

And then the eternal guide continued telling … “The 2nd vital air and the 2nd sub vital airs are present in the Navel Chakra or Nabhi chakra are of a greenish yellow color … In this color, the green color is of heart chakra (Anahata chakra) and yellow is of the naval chakra … But this green color is also present in the middle of (or united condition) of lightness darkness chakra (or Surya chakra or solar Chakra and Chandra chakra or moon Chakra, that are located at the diaphragm level at top part of the abdomen) … And this color also denotes that, as of now, the 2nd vital air is pulling the vitalities (vital airs) of these chakras into itself” …

And then the eternal guide pointed to these three Chakras and said … “Look for yourself as this color ends up within these Chakras and also see for yourself how this color is distributed” …

The little student saw and nodded in agreement …

 

Samana Prana and Krikala Upa Prana as path of Aham Brahmasmi …

And then the eternal guide said … “As of now, the green color is in center of the petals of naval Chakra, the same green is at the periphery of the petals of the lightness darkness Chakra (i.e. Surya chakra and Chandra chakra in the diaphragm of top of abdomen) and this green is also at the center of the heart Chakra … Thus this 2nd vital air of green color is said to be residing within these three Chakras and thus is written about as the 2nd vital air resides within the naval Chakra or the Nabhi chakra … Whereas the truth is, that, it resides primarily in the three Chakras at three different locations i.e. middle, periphery and petals … Within the heart Chakra this 2nd vital air is to digest or assimilate the subtler (mental) emotions, so the subtler emotions are under control … And within the lightness darkness Chakra or sun-moon Chakras, the same 2nd vita air is present to digest (or assimilate) the grosser emotions which are produced within deeds and thoughts and also the breathing when this 2nd vital air enters the lungs to digest or assimilate the air … And within the naval Chakra (Nabhi chakra) this air is present so as to effect the process of digesting or assimilating the food that is taken … Thus, this 2nd vital air is also maintaining a balance of assimilated vitality in the human microcosm …

All emotions are of the navel chakra … Thus, some scriptures tell that mind is present in the navel area and this is only told so, because emotions are of the mind … Each part of body has its own feelings and emotions and unless the 2nd vital air drawn in (or pulls inward) the flows and vitalities of these emotions and thence makes them arrive at equanimity (which itself is present in the center of the 2nd vital air), there shall only be an emotional overload in everyone … Many many different types of emotions are generated by the different types of works as are done by various organs of the body and unless all these can be assimilated (pulled in or accumulated) at a single point in the body, they would only lead to an emotional havoc … This job of assimilation is done by the 2nd vital air and this is why this 2nd vital air is a pretty important one … Within an overload of emotions, the bodied systems would never be able to know which emotion is to be acted upon first … As also, since there actually are close to infinite emotions that are let go within the bodied system by each cell of the physical vehicle and as each cell is having its own emotion which corresponds to its own work level, so if these emotions are not assimilated and brought to a state of equanimity, the end result would only be as an emotional overload and the person becoming an emotional wreck …  This emotional balance is also one of the jobs of the 2nd vital air that is being discussed here” …

Then the eternal guide said … “But at the same time and just as was told earlier, the finality of 2nd vital air s of a diamond white color … And only after this aspect is self realized does any know that the greenish yellow initial color of this Prana, is not the end result of self realizations of Samana Prana … Unless this Samana Prana is cleansed fully, the end result cannot be self realized by an aspirant …

The little student saw this assimilation and agreed …

And the eternal guide said “When subtler emotions are within the body, then this 2nd vital air is light fluorescent green in color as the need for it to act more is reduced … As also when pure food is consumed (food has already been discussed earlier) then also this green color is lighter in its shade (i.e. it is of a dull color) … As also when subtler deeds or better deeds are done and a subtler impression is generated by these subtler deeds, then also the green color is lighter of this 2nd prana or 2nd vital air” …

The eternal guide further told … “This 2nd vital air or Samana is mainly present in the small intestines, stomach, duodenum etc., where the food is broken up and minor quantum of this 2nd vital air extends within the large intestines till large intestine turns into its downward fall and towards the rectum … As also a concentrated state of this 2nd prana resides within the liver, bile gland and bile duct and thus the bile is also green in color due to the excess of this prana in it … And also the spleen to a certain extent has this prana … Kidneys and adrenal glands also have this 2nd prana (Samana Prana) along with the 1st prana (Apana Prana)” …

And the eternal guide continued and told … “This 2nd prana is always with a color of blue around it, and this is wherever that it may exist within the entirety of the macrocosmic matrix or even within a microcosm (any aspirant) … And this 2nd vital air is most widely present in the lumber to thoracic region of the back so as to assist the spinal nerves to digest or assimilate the generated emotions and also it is present within the nervous systems and wherever any assimilation or digestion or turning into its essence, is required” …

The eternal guide said … “Because this prana assimilated, digests and turns the gross into its subtler aspect (and finally into its essential state), so many paths of Yoga and healing utilize the light of this prana for cleansing … Thus, Pranic healing talks about a green bowl of fire in which impurities are burnt, meditation techniques of Yoga say to meditate on the heart (as heart chakra has this green color in the middle) and many more aspects which relate to the green color, that itself is of this prana … But after the fuller cleansing of an aspirants microcosm is effected (i.e. after physical, vital air, mind and knowledge sheaths are cleansed), then this Samana Prana also begins arriving at its finality, which as such is of a white color … Thus, until the bodied systems (i.e. mind, vital air, knowledge and physical sheaths) remain impure, this Samana Prana stays in its greenish yellow color … And when the cleansing is already effected properly, then the need for the greenish yellow color of this Prana is no longer there and in such a case, this Prana turns into its original color which as such is is a very subtle white hue … This color denotes the fact that the aspirant has arrived at a very high internal purity, i.e. the aspirant has already purified his (or her) knowledge sheath (Vijyanmaya Kosha), vital air sheath (Pranamaya Kosha), mind sheath (Manomaya Kosha) …

And the eternal guide further said … “This condition of inner purification of physical, vital air, mind and knowledge sheath also denotes a stage of holding a ‘purified state of I’ness (Ahamkara)’ which further denotes the stage, where the aspirant knows that the ‘I Within him (or her), itself is the I that only is’ i.e. this denotes the self realization of what was told through a Mahavakya of Yajurveda (which means as a Great statement) of ‘Aham Brahmasmi (which means as I Am Brahman, or in simple words, this means as, I Am That) … This Mahavakya was told so, because afflictionless state I’ness, directly denotes the absolute being (Parambrahma or Brahman) because such an I’ness is naught but omnipresent” …

The little student nodded in understanding …

 

Samana Prana and Krakal Upa Prana and emotion of pure or selfless love …

Then the eternal guide continued further and told … “Love is a two edged sword … In its individuality, as love of this or that, love is what leads to chaos because individualism has never been and cannot ever be as a path to long lasting peace … And in its essential macro-equanimity, love is naught but a path of bliss … This macro-equanimity of love only arrives after adoption of “oneness towards allness and her each part … Pure love denotes selflessness of the lovers … And this is what Samana Prana also denotes” …

The eternal guide continued speaking … “Due to its inward movement, Samana Prana assimilates (or accumulates) all the different flows and dynamisms that exist within the vital air sheath and thence brings them to its center so as to turn them equanimous to each other … And just like the essential nature of love, which as such is of macro-equanimity, Samana Prana also makes all these differing types and quantum’s of flows and dynamism of the vital air sheath to arrive at their essential equanimous state towards each other … Thus, one of the characteristics of Samana Prana, is of Pure love too … All systems which say pure love are related to Samana Prana … All systems that say abut equanimity are also directly related to Samana Prana … All texts that state such are also based upon self realizations of the Godhead (of those texts) via the path of self realization and getting stationed in Samana Prana … And since macro-equanimity is a universal entity, so Pure or selfless love which is also based upon the same macro-equanimity, cannot be any different … And since Samana Prana is to which the equanimity relates, so Samana Prana is also the one which though is majorly present in the navel area, but yet in a minor amount, it is present in every other Prana” …

Then the eternal guide pointed to many areas and said … “See this fact prior we proceed any further” …

The little student was seeing as the eternal guide was pointing while speaking … And thus nodded in a yes …

The eternal guide then continued telling … “This 2nd prana is the vitality governor of all Prana’s, it takes in their excesses, assimilates these excesses and then turns it to the essential neutrality (equanimity) and then sends this essence to the 2nd sub vital prana … Then the 2nd sub vital prana then sends this essence to the 5th sub vital prana (Dhananjaya Upa Prana) … Then the 5th sub vital air partly sends this essence to the respective sub vitals of the respective vital airs  i.e. from where this 2nd vital air had absorbed the essence in the first place … And then for the remaining unabsorbed quantum of this essence, the 5th sub vital air, then further sends to the 5th vital air (Vyana Prana) and then the 5th vital air due to its eternal outward flow in turn ends up sending this excess (of the leftover of the essence) out of the body, which is reflected as the aura or auric field of the physical body … The first layer of aura is the health field and if it is anything but white, then the health of that person stands in questionable state … And eventually, the color of this Samana Prana is silvery white (diamond white) after the aspirant begins resting in a state of macro-equanimity (equanimity towards allness and her each part)” …

And then the eternal guide said … “Now we shall stand at the intersection of this 2nd vital air and see this silver emanating after all the different flows and dynamism of other vital airs colors are assimilated or digested within its center and thus know so that these assimilations eventually arrive at their macro-neutral state with the Samana Prana itself” …

The eternal guide again caught the hand of little students and went very close to the center of convergence of the flows of the 2nd vital air and then the eternal guide said … “See, this is the beauty of this 2nd vital air … Look at all that is within the body and keep looking as the essence of this silvery hue which is emanating out of the center of Samana Prana and which denotes macro-equanimity is being sent to all parts of the vital air sheath and thus also being projected into physical body … If this diamond white (macro-equanimous) projection was not there, then the harmony within the Pranic systems and thus the systems of the physical body would have always been under threat, due to too much individualism of the various individual organs of the body … All systems of the body work harmoniously with each other only because Samana Prana projects this essential macro-equanimity into them … But macro-equanimity can only manifest after pure love (or love which equally relates to all parts of allness) is attained to” …

The student saw and agreed …

 

Samana Prana and evolutionary standing within macrocosmic hierarchies …

Then the guide said “This diamond white or silvery hue in the middle of Samana Prana is the final essence after assimilation of all vital airs (by Samana Prana) … And this by itself is as a proof that the macro-neutrality has manifested within them and this further is the proof of the aspirants evolutionary standing” …

The eternal guide continued to say … “After this macro-neutrality manifests, it cannot be reversed back to a non macro-neutral state due to the principle of eternal evolution, which is also like a one ay path and where the path is ever upwardly … And also, after the macro-neutrality manifests, the Shivalingam which is formed by the confluence of many-many subtle nerves as is at the back side of navel, also arrives at a state of neutrality (or white color) … And, then all the converging nerves at this Shivalingam also begin absorbing this neutrality into their cores (or centers) … At this state, the aspirant begins feeling perfect mental and vitality calm and this is state from where the path of Samadhi (absorptions) actually commences” …

The student nodded in understanding …

Then eternal guide said … “Now we shall now go to the 3rd vital air or 3rd prana (i.e. Prana Prana)” … And then both the eternal guide and the little student again resumed walking whilst they still were present in the cave of prana or the cave of vital air …

While walking the guide said … “Did you notice any difference in functions of the 2nd sub vital from other sub vitals?” …

The little student nodded in a negative …

The eternal guide said to the student … “Did you see a difference of shade of the 2nd sub vital and the other sub vitals?” …

The little student nodded in an affirmative, a seven when all these sub vital airs were of a light blue hue, but still a slight difference of shades of blue was there, and then the student looked up at the face of the eternal guide …

The eternal guide smiled as usual and said … “This is the beauty of the Pranic systems or systems of vital airs … They are all one and yet not so … Thus, these vital airs also denote their ‘essential innermost unity even within their apparent diversity’ … They appear as many, yet they essentially are one and the same” …

Then the guide smiled and said “Unity in diversity is also amplified when it resides within the macro-neutrality of Samana or the 2nd vital air” …

The little student who was walking whilst holding the hand of his eternal guide thought “Unity in diversity … What a way to cause unity and that unity itself as the union within essential macro-neutrality of each aspect and that too, when each aspect is not apparent to be unioned to each other” …

The eternal guide who was reading the thoughts of little student, smiled and told … “Prana is present everywhere in the macrocosmic creation as the original subtle state of nature, is nothing but Shakti and Shakti itself is manifested as Prana Shakti … Thus, whether we call the Makersmakings as mother nature or as Maa Shakti or as Prana Shakti, it makes no difference as these three names denote the same entity” …

The little student understood and nodded confirming understanding …

Then the eternal guide said … “Individuality ensures the maintenance of an intrinsic pluralism within the macrocosmic creation and essential oneness which itself is due to the essential monism of the same macrocosmic creation to her each part and also vice versa, always passes through the state of macro-equanimity … So, this means, just as the macrocosmic creation is intrinsically pluralistic and yet remains essentially monist, so are the Prana rooted in the same Pluralistic monism … Individualistic manifestations of microcosmic entities (which are existent within the macrocosmic creation) and which also rest within the purviews of principle of eternal evolution, leads to an ever changeful nature of their emanated flows and dynamism and this also ensures an eternally non stagnated state of flows and dynamism within the macrocosm … Thus, individualism ensures that an eternity of exchange by means of flows and dynamism are maintained in between various individual parts of the macrocosmic creation and the simultaneous monism ensures their innermost essential unity to each other is never compromised … Thus, is the base of the statement ‘unity in diversity’ which as such is the name of the macrocosmic game’ that has been continuing since eternity of time spans that have already been passed by the Maker’s Makings and which would also be continuing till the pending eternity that is yet to come of the supreme genius that also is of the same Maker’s Makings ” …

The little student got this and thought … “The individual microcosm’s effect flows and ensure a survival of the macrocosmic matrix … And at the same time, the macro-neutrality which is nothing but unity, also remains within each aspect and as its inner essence … Wow, what a genius of Makers Makings” …

The eternal guide who was reading the thoughts of the little student, smiled and said “So, now you agree upon this genius of a making, of the maker” …

The little student also smiled and nodded in affirmative, while both kept walking while holding on to the others hand … Like friends and within a trust which seemed like an eternal entity …
