======================================================================== Saturday, 28 Oct 2023. 05:30.  Chapter - 7: Specimens of Vedantic Meditations-4. ======================================================================== Tad brahmanah parimara iti upasita Paryenam mriyante dvishantah sapatnah (Taittiriya Upanishad) What does this prescription mean? If you tune yourself to the Universal and through the Universal if you think that somebody should die, immediately that person will die; – enemies will perish. It is not however meant that you should try this practice. I am just mentioning that there are techniques like these, to achieve anything. The varieties of meditations mentioned are almost similar to Patanjali's description of the various samadhis: savitarka, nirvitarka, savichara, nirvichara, sananda, sasmita, sabija, nirbija. Practically, all the scriptures say the same thing with variations of emphasis and style. ===========================================================
