Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 In the centre of the Heart-cave, Brahman shines alone. It is the form of Self experienced directly as 'I-I'. Enter the Heart, through self-enquiry or merging or by breath-control and become rooted as That. Verse 6 In the second half of the verse instruction is given for the practice, by a disciple, of the three different methods which in essence are one. Verse 7 The three paths are self-enquiry, merging in the Heart, and regulation of breath. Commentary The first path is termed 'margana', search, the second 'majjana', and the third 'pranarodhana' or regulation of breath. .... The mind is pushed inward by self-enquiry till the separate identity is lost in the oneness of the Heart. As for regulation of breath, watching it helps to steady the mind and gives the necessary thrust to push within. In this light it is seen to be complementary to self-enquiry, which could be termed as 'The Path'.
