Linga Purana (GRETIL / Wisdomlib) · 1 · Verse 28.24
Sanskrit Original
चतुर्व्यूहः समाख्यातश चिन्तकस्येह योगिनः। चिन्ता बहुविधा ख्याता सैकत्र परमेष्ठिना।।
caturvyūhaḥ samākhyātaś cintakasyeha yoginaḥ| cintā bahuvidhā khyātā saikatra parameṣṭhinā||
Nandin said: The four-arrayed path is prescribed for a practising yogin. Thought is counted as manifold. If it is centred in one place it is called Suniṣṭhā;[8] if centred in Rudra it is called Raudrī; if centred in Indra Aindrī; if in Soma Saumyā; if in Nārāyaṇa or in the sun or in the fire it is called after those names. If the devotee fixes in his mind in both ways that he is I and I am he that thought is called Brāhmī. O brahmins, thus should a devotee think of this universe—both mobile and immobile—as identical with Brahman.
