Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 11.27.23
Mukti· LiberationMeditate on the Lord Within
“The worshiper should meditate upon My subtle form — which is situated within the worshiper’s own body, now purified by air and fire — as the source of all living entities. This form of the Lord is experienced by self-realized sages in the last part of the vibration of the sacred syllable om.”
What the purport teaches
- The worshiper should meditate on the Lord’s subtle form within the body purified by air and fire. The Lord is the source of all living entities.
- The praṇava, or oṁkāra, has five parts: A, U, M, the nasal bindu and the reverberation, called nāda.
- Liberated souls meditate upon the Lord at the end of that reverberation. The meditation is directed toward the Lord’s transcendental form.
