restlessness in the condition is felt (called Sameepyata-nearness); B) when one gains entry into a certain knot he, his consciousness rather, goes round and round in it gaining a thorough knowledge of the same and begins to absorb in him the state prevailing in the knot. Once he gets saturated his merging in that knot comes into effect (Salokyata-literally views everything in the colour of the knot or according to its light so to speak); C) the saturation continues till the fact of being saturated with the condition is forgotten, the state being called Saroopyata- of the same form. This culminates in the last stage D) where the memory of the condition in which one is merged is totally erased called Sayujyata – a condition of union and oneness where the aspirant is totally and naturally in tune with the condition and expresses in thought, word and deed the characteristic of the knot without any awareness that he is doing so. It has become his very nature to be so and he is said to have owned the condition of the knot.
The Master has used elsewhere the analogy of the administered medicine being dissolved in one’s system, assimilated into it and commencing to act upon the system to illustrate the assimilation of the spiritual condition into one’s being and his thought, feeling and action being dictated by such an assimilation. The yatra is performed essentially by the aspirant of course with the assistance of the trainer through Pranahuti in each knot with the express purpose of owning the condition of the knot. The yatra is done only in the five knots of Pind Desh and later in the Brahmand and higher centres it is only expansion. However it is done in the 64 points after the Parabrahmand for the stabilization of the aspirant in that condition. It is to be borne in mind that while transmitted power of the trainer or Master is of great help and even indispensable in the journey through the higher and divine realms, one can not achieve the final goal only through transmission. For the knots have the capacity to bind the sadhaka through their characteristics as he starts enjoying the same and tends to linger in the same sphere. It is only the supreme dedication to the cause and unremitting sadhana along with the invaluable help of the guide or Master through Pranahuti can ensure final success.
As the descent has taken place through a series of inversions, one observes similarity in the states of consciousness as he moves along which fact however, can only be discerned by owning the conditions of the various knots. Again it is found through actual imperience by the sadhaka that the joy or happiness or peace of one plane is the agony of the next plane which is another consequence of the inversions mentioned above.
The implementation of the commandments and progress
A very brief sketch follows of the experiences and wisdom gained as a result of the journey in the five knots of Pind Desh and their links to the
