Reverent Krishna, no way I deny the significance of Shriguru and Shruti. Nevertheless... What kind of "success" must a spiritual seeker have, to avoid "disappointment"? - His/her palms are luminiscent? - He/she levitates over the Himalaya? - Hears the constant sound of numerous astral bells? - Becomes the second "Mother Teresa"?...... A bhakta LOVES God. That is enough. I suspect, any " success"-oriented practice INEVITABLY ends with "disappointment"...

What this says is "it is your special inner feeling or emotion or state" that only you can reach by introversion. You can not describe sweetness but can be identified when you taste or had experience. Thus inner experience is one's own perception that can not be described but felt. Happiness is a state of mind and can not be described. So, self realization is to control one faculty at a time through meditation and only after a long time practice the mind will start self focusing. When you do a Yoga asana, your mind only things about how to prevent to falling down and all other thoughts are removed. This concentrated self control in physical yoga can be and should be practiced with inward looking. So, what a Guru or mentor shows the first few steps and rest are practice like learning to sing, draw, dance and other concentrated arts. Yoga is another such learned experience unique to every one since no two bodies are 100 % identical nor the mind.

There are input devices (indiriyas) to the brain – that is embedded in a body to allow it to interact with explicit world. The output devices mouth, tongue, nose hands, legs and expelling parts give response back to nature (or to an encounter). That is, we know “what and how” they function in a general sense. But the why part is self realization. The thought patterns or wisdom extracts the models from the interaction with the external world and uses it or modifies it to a new situation thus ensuring the survival of the person. These meta models and how they are stored in our memory is not fully understood. If we imagine GOD as a person (one way to fix the image of GOD in our mind since no way to describe GOD exists as vocabularies (words) fail to precisely convey the meaning. However, if we answer repeatedly “ Is God male”, NO, “female” No, Tall No,… when known human vocabularies fail, what is left out is the internal identification of the Atman and it is pervasive in all things like air in the atmosphere which you can not see yet realize it is there as we breath it. This self experience is unique to each one and one finally realizes GOD within one self – not properties to describe. This why our Hindu religion allowed to view GOD democratically – male, female, child, daughter.., yet they are virtual images and not real one. You act like a son, father, brother, cousin, citizen yet you are none of them – just role playing or acting according to the situation. Puri, Chapati, Parota or Pongal, Curdbath, Pulihodarai etc., are digested in the stomach as complex carbohydrate even though each of us prefer different ways of preparation of the food. Body gets carbohydrate.. period. Thus self realization of GOD is an individual task.

A Guru or mentor is waiting for the right person to mend. The mentor and mende has to meet. A Guru notices that the person is worth being trained as he or she shows the necessary attributes - curiosity. If a disciple(untile he/she becomes one) asks a Guru (without knowing he or she will his/her Guru), why should I go Temple only on Fridays when there is a crowd? If GOD is omnipotent and will not behave like a human being controlling a subordinate, can not I not go and pray as and when I want? If GOD is omnipotent why he or she or it will only bless me when I pray, since parents are suppose to love their children and GOD being super parent, how can He/She give a prejudicial preferential treatment only to those who pray? Is it not a corruption - GOD wants your praise to comfort you? The Guru now knows the sishya is ready - he/she not only asks what and how but also WHY? This curiosity will allow him/her for self search and all I have to do is to show the right way to look inward - first body control via Yogasans, and then meditation and so on. So, the Atman and Brahman will eventually meet only through meditation.

Please go through the subsequent parts of this article and you will find all the relevant information.

Saptadaśī is the state beyond the dimensions of time, space, energy etc and is pure consciousness that is a sum total of Everything. Aṣṭadaśī as per my understanding, courtesy of Shri Jothi Agaval, is the emergence of Nirvāṇa Sundarī from the will (desire/fire) of the pure consciousness - Cidagnisambhūta.

Can you tell he significance of Saptadaśī and Aṣṭadaśī while there are 16 kalas that Ṣoḍaśī represents.
