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.

========================================================================

The Kathopanishad says:

Mahadbhayam vajram udyatam

Ye etatdviduh amritah te bhavanti

What kind of Brahman is this? Is it a sweet, soft, butter-like thing? No, It is a thunderbolt! Mahad bhayam – It is the fear of everyone. One cannot even think It without shuddering within. You know thunder? Have you heard thunder in the skies? What sound will it make? Such, as if the earth would break. Your heart also will miss a beat at that time. The fear that is instilled into the hearts of people by Brahman is of another kind. It is the thunder coming from all sides. You have to love It, it is already mentioned, you have also to dread It. You have to fear It because you are opposite to Its nature.

Bhyayat agnih tapati – Fire burns due to the fear of Brahman. Bhayat tapati suryah – because of the fear of Brahman, Sun shines. Bhayat indrascha vayuscha – Indra and Vayu perform their functions due to the fear of That. Mrtyurdhavati panchamah – even Death performs its duty due to the fear of Brahman.

The Kathopanishad has some meditations like this. "The sense-objects are above the senses; above the objects is the mind which determines them; beyond the mind is the intellect; beyond the intellect is the Cosmic Intellect; beyond still is the Causal Source of the Universe; beyond all these is the Supreme Being – Purusha. The Prashna Upanishad has also meditations. When you are in deep sleep what happens? The Tanmatras – potential forces of earth, of water, of fire, of air and space – enter into the deepest recesses of your being at that time. They stand balanced, as it were, without any disbalance among themselves. This is unconscious activity taking place in sleep. What happens unconsciously in sleep happens consciously in meditation. This is the difference. Sleep is also analogous to meditation in a negative sense. There is no externalised consciousness in sleep and there is no externalised consciousness in meditation. In that sense, they look, alike strangely.

But there is a difference. A poor person who has lost everything does not want anything; he is so sunk in sorrow. A king who has everything does not want anything. These are two different kinds of 'not-wanting'. One is not wanting due to the depth of sorrow, the other is not wanting due to the height of joy. So is the difference between sleep and meditation. The Prashna Upanishad says, prithvi, earth, and the tanmatra of earth; water and the tanmatra of water and similarly in the case of other elements with their tanmatras – enter into the state of deep sleep, so that you do not know that they are existing at all. Thus do consciously meditate now. Withdraw the earth into yourself, the water-principle, the fire-principle, the air-principle, the entire space itself into yourself.
