O lord! I shall practice meditation upon Thee with my body; I will sit erect in a comfortable pose (sukhaasana) and gaze on the tip of the nose. Controlling my vital breath energies by regulating the breath by the three-stepped Pranayama (Puraka or inhalation of breaththrough the left nostril, Kumbhaka or retention of the in-drawn breath with both nostrilsclosed, and Rechaka or exhalation through the right nostril, the mouth being kept shutthroughout), doing Pooraka etc., praanaayaam (breath control) I will imagine the downward lotus in the heart as facing upward. I will imagine the sun, moon and fire above it and Thee in a delicate dark blue form as the water bearing clouds, seated on the top.
