Namaskar!
The mist on the window snd the street light outside makes the light look like
Gustave Doré’s illustration of Dante Aleghieri’s Paradiso from Dante’s Divine Comedy
(Painting is called Empyrean)
*The word “Empyrean” comes from the Greek empyrios, meaning “in or of fire.” In classical and medieval cosmology, it refers to the highest heaven, a realm of pure light and divine presence.
In The Divine Comedy, Dante describes the Empyrean as the dwelling place of God, angels, and the blessed souls who have attained ultimate spiritual realization. It is beyond space and time, filled with infinite light and love.
Symbolically, the Empyrean represents spiritual enlightenment, union with the Divine, and the highest state of consciousness. It’s the final destination in the soul’s journey toward truth and bliss.*
Mantra Baba nam kevalam means Only the Name of the Lord.
In order to perform sádhaná, human beings will have to concentrate their minds on different plexi. From the sahasrára to the anáhata [mid-point of the chest], there are certain plexi, and one’s mind is to be concentrated on one of them according to one’s saḿskára [reaction in potentiality], or according to necessity. If human beings want to do ávarta kiirtana(1) after hearing a spiritual discourse, it will be good if they concentrate their minds on the sahasrára cakra. If they want to do kiirtana alone, the mind should be concentrated on the trikut́ii [concentration point of the ájińá cakra, between the eyebrows].
