We meditate on the heart. During the meditation we naturally go deeper and deeper, till we come across the natural vibration which are sounded “Om”. It is a clue that one has started touching the “Upper” which ultimately reveals its own character. When ajapa is felt in the heart, it begins to travel all over giving its stress at the plexus, till it is felt throughout the entire being. Anahat really begins when one arrives on his march at the trikuti or the cavernous plexus, if charging there is in full sway. In any case, if anahat is not started while an abhyasi has his reach in the cavernous plexus, then it is the duty of the Master to start it at that point. This is the time mature for it. It can be taken even earlier, but Master is the only authority to judge it .”

Shab-e-Qadr
“Shab-e-Qadr can literally be translated as Esteemed night, or a night to be esteemed.

This term is used metaphysically in Urdu and Persian literature.”

Samadhi
“ The Thinkers have laid stress upon Samadhi, and some of them have stated it to be the goal of all activities. They did not mark the real substance.

Swimming and diving are different subjects. Swimming in the river we know, but we have to learn swimming on the dry land first, and then diving. Suppose we want to dive in the water in the state of Samadhi the unevenness of ‘dhi’ will not give you full diving. I give the meaning of Samadhi in my own way; I can say ‘sam + adhi’. ‘Sam’ means the state of balance; ‘adhi’ means what was in the beginning. That means the condition, which was in the beginning; i.e. when we came here for the first time. Now to utilise it, we should stick the word ‘adhi’ to the ‘sam’, that means that we have made this factor also beneficial to our approach so ‘adhi’ becomes the instrument for going to the state of ‘sam’. Now I relate my own experience. “It is the state where a man feels
