మనస్సు ప్రాణవాయువు రహస్యం - the secret of mind and life force - Swamy Antarmukhananda speaks

yathaa deepo nivaatastho nengate sopamaa smri'taa
yogino yatachittasya yunjato yogamaatmanah' .. 6-19
యథా దీపో నివాతస్థో నేంగతే సోపమా స్మృతా
యోగినో యతచిత్తస్య యుంజతో యోగమాత్మనః .. 6-19
Just like the flame, when it will become still, windless state, like that the yogi will become still. Even mind will become still. When he going on taking it upwards, his mind becomes still. When it becomes still, mind you, that flame will be, its intensity of light will be more, maximum. If a flame flickers, the intensity of light will be lessened. When the light is lessened, naturally there will be every chance of misunderstanding. That is called vipareetha jnyaanam, reverse knowledge. They by saying, the, the rope as a snake. Due to less light, you will see the rope as a snake. The, this pole as a human being and the ears of rabbit as horns. Shashibhishaaranya, like that, there is every chance of misunderstanding. Like that, due to illness sufficient light only, you are seeing this Brahman as world. This Brahman as world because of this less light. If you make your mind still by controlling your life force by doing Pranayama, there will be intensity of light more. Thereby you will be seeing Brahman as Brahman. You will see Brahman inside and you will see Brahman outside also.
