event happening anywhere gets reflected in him. One of the main facets of this consciousness is that it is not felt intensely by the sadhaka who is now accustomed to receive the grace of God and be in His thoughts constantly if not continuously.
The Divine realms
The realms beyond Sahasrara are purely Divine and the journey in these realms are possible only due to the Grace of the Master and the Saints of the Order. The knots 11, 12 and 13 relate to these realms.
Knots 11 and 12 belong to the Mind Region, the Mind of God. The Master states in His commentary on the condition at the 11th knot that the essence of the heart region is in this knot and it is the realm of manifestation in its initial stages. It is the most powerful Region of God and may be called the powerhouse for setting the Godly machinery a going. The super consciousness of this region is only hinted at by the Master with no description being given for it as the sadhaka has nothing to do with this super consciousness. The aspirant having moved through the five kosas binding him experiences the pure and simple awareness, his consciousness being totally drowned in the memory of the Divine to be not even aware of itself. Even the feeling of ‘existence’ is lost and the stage of ‘awareness of Ultimate Reality’ is arrived. There is a dryness which becomes part and parcel of being as the aspirant has crossed the Ananda Maya kosa. There is no concern for one’s progress or regress but only the craving to reach the Ultimate takes over.
The consciousness here, which can not be considered conscious at all, is of a transcendental nature having no particular connection with the individual in the sub-conscious, conscious and super-conscious levels or even in the transpersonal consciousness which is yet in the realm of Maya or Original Stir. The knot 12 can be considered in a sense a consummation of all the earlier knots and contains the potentiality of all. There is no tinge of ‘I’-ness here and the sadhaka who has become living dead, dead to his living except for the craving for the Master gets entitlement for plunging into this state. The love of the Divine which has developed through various stages has arrived at the refined identicality with the Divine. But still the identicality is there and this awareness is still a barrier which is crossed through the various stages of splendour. The manifestation of the Center caused due to the Original Stir is entering the gross realms for the first time here. The invisible motions at the Origin become visible taking more twists and turns and this indeed becomes the power which is behind the grosser powers of nature identified with the gods such as Indra, Agni, Vayu and so on even as metaphorically described in the Kenopanishad.
