Stage 5 AJAPA JAP
Thus far, four practices of ajapa have been explained. Now we go to the fifth stage which is rather more difficult and commands great imagination on the part of the aspirant. It consists of x’otating the consciousness in the spinal column.
The process of concentration and medItation consists of two factors: control of the external consciousness and expression of the calm and quiet soul in us.
A burning lamp cannot radiate its fall illumination if its glass is covered with soot. It is only when the glass is cleaned that the lamp shines most brightly. Similarly, the light or the power of the soul is within us, but it does not manifest itself in our daily lives because of the hindrance of thinking principles, the agaries of the mind, dissipations and distractions. Meditation helps one to annihilate the sense consciousness and awaken self-awareness. It removes the Impurities of the mind.
There are different systems of meditation. The first meditation belongs to the group of the body; the second meditation belongs to the group of the mind, i.e. thinking of an idea; the third meditation belongs to the group of the intellect; and the fourth process of meditation belongs to the higher regions.
Light manifests itself when the physical consciousness, the mental consciousness, the intellectual awareness, and lastly the personality itself, when all these are transcended in Mo. So long as you do not transcend the body, the mind and the intellect, you will not attain perfect serenity and peace. The various practices of ajapa aim at achieving this end.
In an academic career one has to go through primary, higher secondary, college and university education in order to get the highest degree Similarly in meditation there are four stages. First is relaxation, second is awareness, third is unification, and the fourth is forgetfulness. This has been explained in the previous practices of ajapa.
