MEANING:

 

Invoke the Lord as the unborn, the Lord of all, as the accomplished

and the accomplishment; as the beginning of all and everything; as the

one without a slip or fall. Also invoke the Lord as the one who

showers and reabsorbs; as the soul with the spirit immeasurable and

the one who causes the evolution through the synthesis of all planes

of existence.

 

Explanation :

 

1. Since birth and death belong to the created beings and not to the

content, we have to meditate the Lord as unborn.

 

2. He is the Lord of the creation and the creator. He is also the Lord

of matter, force, mind and soul. He is the Lord of name, shape, nature

and the content. He is the filling content of all the devas and hence

He is the Lord of all.

 

3. The idea to practice yoga and the accomplishment of yogic practice

depend upon the very existenq:: of the Lord in us and by the grace of

his inducement. Therefore, the living being who attains,

accomplishment is the Lord Himself as potential though He is the

finite being functionally. Hence the Lord Himself is the accomplished

one.

 

4. The very process of practice to attain accomplishment is due to his

grace of presence and hence it is Himsel£

 

5. Beginning and ending are real only to the individual and the

universe. The Lord is beyond these two and is the real being of both.

 

6. A slip and a fall is characteristic of mind and matter and that

part of intelligence which is in contact with the mind and senses.

Mind, matter and senses belong to the lower narure whereas their

content belongs to the Lord narure which has neither slip nor fall.

 

7. During the rainy Season, the sun's rays cause the clouds shower.

During summer, they reabsorb the .water of the earth as clouds.

Similarly during mating season, the mind makes the living being shower

as the sperm to reproduce. During the process of death, the prana of

this earth reabsorbs all the layers of the material and mental planes,

into itself Similarly while expressing something, the will showers

intelligence into the objective plane through the utterance. During

sleep and meditation, it reabsorbs all the concepts of intelligence

into itself The whole process is a pulsation containing exhalation and

inhalation. Meditate the Lord as the one who conducts both.

 

8. All the lower planes of matter, life and mind come out of the

essence at every birth. They exist on the surface of the essence as

its own sheaths. They are once .again reabsorbed into the essence.

This whole process is to exemplify the essence which we call soul and

allegorise into the life with all changes. Anyone of these changes

react with each other and with the essence and hence, they cannot

measure the essence which is the soul. They can never measure the

spirit which is the essence of the soul itself

 

9. The Lord comes down into creation in the form of all the planes and

layers. The process of coming down is by virrue of his existence as

the synthesis of all these though it bears their analysis.
