Typically speaking both Advaita and Trika speak about the same subject. What is called as Brahman in Advailta is called as Shiva in Trika. Ultimately, realization happens only in our mind, irrespective of the school we follow. Subject is simple. Individual soul uniting with the Supreme Soul and as we know, this can happen only in our mind, provided the mind is completely purified of thought processes. With regard to your second point, that is why I choose the word merger. Merger of individual soul with the Supreme Soul. Both the schools say that we have to use our consciousness to enable this merger to happen. If we draw a small dot on a piece of paper and concentrate on that dot, after a few minutes, we become one with that dot and this is signified by not paying attention to all other thought processes except the dot. Remedies work not because of divine intervention, but because of our mind, which believes that remedies are working. Karma cannot be removed except by experiencing it. There is no way except to undergo the effects of karma. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is bad.

HiCould you please enlighten me the balanced state u have achieved by following 2 schools of thought Advaita which proposes dilution of ones identity into God and second Trika which proposes identity with Shiva (Which looks dualistic).And in my opinion Remedies do work...they smoothen the intensity of suffering of human by making him realise the mistakes or the karma he has accumatlated.

Thank you for this amazing article,but I have some questions.When someone commits a crime,was the victim only bearing his karma or its a new karma?Should the victim re-born and do the same as the person who did it with him?When someone do not exercises,eat lots of junk foods and get ill,is that because of his past karma or present action?People tend to bring tendencies from previous birth and if their action was good,they are born rich,but why most of the rich people act badly with the poor?if they did good actions in previous birth,they should have bring the good attitude with them in their present birth?

First one should concentrate on mantra; then mantra should be aligned with breath. When perfection is attained in both, it would be ideal to fix concentration on ajna chakra. When concentration is fixed on ajna chakra, you are bound to enter into the state of micro trance (trance lasting for a few second to a minute or two, where mantra and breath are not observed). This article may be of help: http://www.manblunder.com/2013/01/simple-way-to-activate-ajna-chakra.html

Thank you,should one concentrate on a chakra point while doing the breathing technique or only on the breathing.And should I visualize a form of Shiva while reciting this Maha Mantra.

There cannot be any limitation for recitations. Self can be realized only through the mind. In order to control the mind, breath alignment with mantra is necessary. One inhalation should be synced with on recitation of "Om Namashivaya" and similarly one exhalation should be synced with "Om Namashivaya". By doing so, the mind is not distracted and will get fixed both on the mantra and the breath. Thus, one gets disconnected from sensory organs at least for that moment. When this is practiced for longer duration, say about ten minutes, at least for couple of minutes, one is bound to get disconnected from sensory organs. With practice, this two minutes will increase to three, four minutes, etc. Practicing this for ten minutes twice a day is sufficient. At some point of time, mind will become quiet. This is the starting point for spiritual practice.
