gain better insight into the various experiences during meditation. The sense of touch is related to earth, taste is related to water, smell is related to fire, hearing is related to air and sight is related to ether. The relation to the five points or knots in the Pind-desh to these elements and senses becomes clear when we get to know of our conditions during meditations and other time mentations on the sublime truths revealed during meditation. For example: when we feel we are close to our “sweet beloved” Master it is the emotional plane of devotion that is active or when we feel the ‘warmth of love’ of the Master it is the element of earth or knot 1 that is active. It should be realized that there is a relation between ‘insight’ and the experience emanating from the point 5 related to ether. Similarly the spiritual ‘voices’ are related to the Heart center.
It should be well understood that the traditional path of spiritual journey from Mooladhara to Sahasrara is modified in the system of Rajayoga of Sri Ramchandra to commence from the Heart to Visudhha through a zigzag path of five knots.
