| 13. Having closed
all the gates, having confined mind in the heart, having fixed his life
breath in the head, engaged in firm Yoga, uttering Brahman, the onesyllabled
Om, thinking of Me whoso departs, leaving the body, he reaches the Supreme
Goal.Having closed all the avenues of knowledge and having concentrated
thought in the lotus of the heart, and with thought thus controlled, he
ascends by the Nadi which passes upwards from the heart, and the fixing
life breath in the head, he utters the syllable Om, the appellation of the
Brahman, and meditates in Me. Leaving the body, shows the mode of departure.
The departure takes place by the Self leaving the body, not by the Self
being destroyed. No rebirth on attaining to the Divine Being. |
