A yogi should meditate upon all parts individually - from his two holy feet up to his head - of the murti of the most compassionate manifest Shri Sahajānand Swāmi Parabrahman Shri Hari in a secluded location with their indriyas, mind, and prāns withdrawn, at night, with focused concentration and stable mind. Just as a lustful person, thief, illusionist, addict, and one with a malicious intent eagerly endeavor in their objective;1 similarly, a muni also endeavors in beholding the murti of Shri Hari with an enthusiastic mind. Just as a faithful wife, chakor,2 moth, fish, chakvā, chakvi,3 and bapaiyā4 are all engrossed in the object of their passion;5 similarly, a yogi remains engrossed in the murti of Shri Hari with intense joy. Just as the devas and dānavs churned the ocean with a trusting mind; similarly, a yogi should have faith and practice meditating upon God’s murti daily. And when one shuns cravings for taste, sleep, violence, and other disturbances that are hindrances of meditation, one can meditate; otherwise, one cannot. Footnotes: 1. 1. The objectives here are: fulfillment of lust, acquiring loot, deception with illusions, satisfying addiction, and taking revenge, respectively. 2. A bird resembling a pigeon (possibly belonging to the partridge family) with red feet. It becomes excited upon seeing the moon. 3. Chakvā and chakvi are types of birds resembling swallows. 4. Bapaiyo is a bird known as a chātak. This bird is famed to drink only the rain water of the swāti nakshatra. 5. With the exception of chakvā and chakvi, the objects of passion for the rest are: being faithful to her husband, the moon, flame light, moonlight, and rain water, respectively.
