MEANING:

 

Invoke the Lord as the one beyond measure, the Lord of the heart and whose navel

is embelished with a lotus. He is the Lord Executive among the Devas, the great

Architect of the Universe, the King of time and races and the artificer of

forms. He is also the stablest of all those who are stable and the oldest of

all.

Explanation :

1. All measures are born only after the mind in space is born. Before that they

lay concealed in the background as the implements of masonary and carpentary

waiting to be used by those who will be born. Since the background is the Lord

he is beyond measure.

2. Heart is not the physical heart of beings bur it is a centre around which our

physical heart is formed in the mother's womb. The centre precedes all physical

matter and makes its first manifestation everywhere as a centre of pulsation. It

exists as a centre of electro-magnetic fields in space, the nucleus of an atom

and then the nucleus of a cell and then only as the heart centre of a living

being.The Lord manifests as the centre at first and exist as pure love in all of

us.

 

3. The navel is another such centre which precedes matter. At first it is

manifested as a lower centre of space which forms the lower pole to the heart

centre. Both the poles form the first magnet of existence which is the axis of a

space-globe. All the lines of force in the globe form along this axis to throw

out the primordial light of star - dust and then the stars which are hatched

into the myriads of solar systems. The same process takes place in the mother's

womb when the vertebral column is formed. The navel centre works as the brain of

emotions whereas the heart centre works as the brain of affections.

 

4. The Deva Kingdom of the cosmic and microcosmic creations is abided by certain

administrative laws that are produced from the Lord Himsel£ In this capacity the

Lord is called Indra.

 

5. Viswakarma is the shape - consciousness that exists as cosmic mind. He

presides over the definite shapes of the anatomy of one universe as well as of

one individual. He is rightly described as the goldsmith among Devas. He is the

architect of the universe as well as the first artificer of metals.

 

6. There are fourteen Manus who are among the mind­born children of Brahma, the

Creator. Each presides over a sweep of time called Manvantara. He marks the

divisions of time and works out all the periodicities of the cosmic pulsation as

stories and incidents, from the scale of the double - pulsation of the cosmos to

that of the respiration and heartbeat of the individuals. He also presides over

the seven root-races of human beings on this earth, their sub races and the new

blends.

7. The word Twashta means an etther and a carpenter. He presides over the detail

of the anatomy of the whole universe and the body of the individual. He forms

lines of force in the mother's womb which are called nadis along which the

nerves and blood vessels will be moulded.

 

8. The lower principles of matter, force and mind are unstable, and are subject

to constant change. The higher principles of pure intelligence, will,

discrimination (Law) and love are stable and belong to Deva Kingdom of higher

rung. The Lord forms their background and is hence, the stablest among the

stable.

9. Since the first stir starts from the Lord and merges in Him after the whole

activity of creation is finished, the Lord stands as the oldest among all.

 

10 The word Dhruva means a pole or a point around which all the activity takes

place. He is the head cenue in us, the north pole to this earth and the pole

star which governs the rotation of the solar systems. All these manifestations

are to be meditated upon as emerging from the Lord, existing in Him, with Him as

their content and textUre and merging in Him.
