From devotion to God, Samadhi is attained.

Union with cosmic conciousness is realized by surrender of the self to Godhood, the universal "I-am". Nobody can obtain cosmic conciousness, or saladhi, while retaining his or her individual or personal "I-am".


Reference to the next eight sutras:
Everybody has five bodies. They are:

  1. Annamaya-kosa - the external body of matter made by food.
  2. Pranayama-kosa _ the body of prana or electricity.
  3. Manomaya-kosa - the body of mind with its five senses, five sensory organs and five motor organs.
  4. Vijnamaya-kosa - the psychosomatic body, the body of individual conciousness, individual "I-am".
  5. Anandamaya-kosa - the body of cosmic bliss, the universal "I-am".

The physical body, the body of matter, is subject to time and space, birth and death. It is born and someday it will die.The body of matter is made with the seeds of the father and mother and is constantly being nourished by food.

The other four bodies, the bodies of prana, mind, individual conciousness, and universal conciousness are cosmic and eternal. They are the internal bodies. At the time of death, they leave the physical body and at the time of birth, theycreate another physical form, along with the seeds of the father and mother.

As long as one is not liberated, one has no fredom from the body of matter. The enlightened person does not need this material body, except to help others. These four cosmic bodies can not operate in the relative universe, without the cooperation of the body of matter.

Therefore, these four bodies are called the operative force and the body of matter is called the operative field. In order to have any operation of the four internal bodies, our physical body of matter must be in good order. Therefore, the practices of asana and pranayama are required.

That (Asana) having been perfected, regulation of the flow of inhalation and exhalation is Pranayama (breath control).

Cette (asana) ayant été perfectionnée, la régulation du flux de l'inspiration et de l'expiration est pranayama (contrôle de la respiration).

Die nächste Stufe ist Pranayama, die Kontrolle von Einatmung und Ausatmung.

The fourh step in Yoga practice is pranayama, the expansion of the individual prana itoo cosmic prana. Breath control is a by-product of pranayama.

Breathing has four phases: inhalation, taking air into the body; holding air in the lungs and the body; expelling air from the lungs and body; holding air outside the lings and the body. Then the cycle begins again. This happens naturally from birth to deatnh.

Breath control is accomplished by either holding the breath on inhalation, on exhalation,or stopping the breath natuarally. One begins practice of pranayama with breathing exercises and ends with cosmic expansion, cosmic energy.
