God should be consecrated in the centre of the lotus chair of the heart and be worshipped with devotional meditation. It is to give practice in fixing the mind firmly on a particular object, that the sages say that some visible material object should be given to meditate upon, in the early stage of meditation. When concentration of mind is obtained by meditating upon a visible object, it will be possible for us to meditate upon an object which is not amenable to our senses. When engaged in meditation we should be thinking “Ahaṁ Brahmā jyotirātmā vāsudevo vimukta Oṁ”. (I am Brahmā, the light, the Spirit, Vāsudeva, and Vimukta (having no connection with anything), Oṁ). (Agni Purāṇa, Chapter 374). - [Previous: c5.892](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.892) - [Next: c5.894](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.894) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5) ## Cites (1) - [Agnipurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.agni.374) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.893](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.893) · Pramāṇa
