Chapter - 3 : Sanatkumara's Instructions on Bhuma-Vidya :  ===================================================================== SECTION 6: CONTEMPLATION : Mantram : 1. "Dhyanam vava cittad-bhuyah, dhyayativa prthivi, dhya-yativan-tariksam, dhyayativa dyauh, dhyayantivapah, dhyayantiva parvatah, dhyayantiva deva-manusyah, tasmad-ya iha manusyanam mahattvam prapnuvanti dhyanapadamsa ivaiva te bhvanti, atha ye'lpah kalahinah pisuna upavadinas-te atha ye prabhavah dhyanapadamsa ivaiva te bhavanti, dhyanam upassveti."

Chapter - 3 : Sanatkumara's Instructions on Bhuma-Vidya :  Section-13 : Memory =========================================================== SECTION 13 Memory Mantram-1. 1. Smaro vava akasad-bhuyah, tasmad-yady-api bahava asiran-nasmarantah, naiva te kamcana srnuyuh, na manviran, na vijaniran, yada vava te smareyuh atha srnuyuh atha manviran, atha vijaniran, smarena vai putran vijanati, smarena pasun, smaram upasisveti. ============================================================ Here, smara is a peculiar term which has been interpreted as the power of consciousness which is recognised as self-existence. Our consciousness of our own existence is prior to the operation of our consciousness of the recognition of space outside us. We must exist first, if space is to be there. So our consciousness of self-existence is prior ...

Chapter Three: Sanatkumara's Instructions on Bhuma-Vidya :   ============================== SECTION 11: HEAT : Subtler principles are always superior to the grosser ones, because they are more pervasive in character. Hence, if water is superior to the earth principle, fire is superior to the water principle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mantram-1.

So, the point that is driven into the mind of Narada by the teacher is that to become strong and powerful is to have this aspect of strength as the object of his meditation because, to the extent of the application of this kind of power, one will be successful and one will be free in that particular realm of one’s contemplation. “Still,” says Sanatkumara, “there is something more than that.” And that is water which is s...
