Nimi Navayogi Samvadham

The practice of constant meditation and contemplation of the supreme Lord removes the cluster of unwanted thoughts from the mind.  The repeated thoughts of unpleasant events take away the serenity of the mind, like the water stored in the reservoir for several years.  The regular practice of meditation removes the cluster of thoughts, and it will not let the mind get stuck with unpleasant thoughts.  The thoughts about people, matter, money, fame and wealth undergoes constant changes and ruin, therefore the illustrious Rishis and Sages experimented the practice of meditation to elevate the thoughts from the destructible Prakrithi to indestructible Bhramam.  The practice of contemplation upon the indestructible Brahmam keeps the mind free from thoughts and cluster of thoughts; gradually it will take the mind to a state where there is nothing other than absolute bliss.  The practice of meditation is contemplation upon the supreme Bhramam who resides as soul/Athman, not the worship of idol or images, the worship of idol and visiting sacred lands and shrines is an ideal method to keep the mind away from the material thoughts and the attachment to people.  The mind and intellect originated from the supreme soul that is void of thoughts is compared as Shakthi/Prakrithi and Shiva/Bhramam respectively, therefore the mind and intellect has the capabilities to keep away from the cluster of thoughts, with the constant meditation upon that supreme Bhramam described as Sath/indestructible Chith/ intellect Anandha/Swaroopa bliss in scriptures. 

King Nimi speaks “ Oh! Bhramaviththama, kindly describe how did I contemplate upon supreme Lord Narayana who resides as a soul?”

Navayogi Pippalayana symbolizes a huge peepal tree that originates from its tiny seed, speaks “Oh! Narendra, the human body comes into existence due to its unfulfilled desires and lust, undergoes constant transformation and ruin.   The unfinished desires and lust causes rebirth, the functioning of the mind, intellect, Ahamkara, Pancha Prana, Karma and Gnanendhriyas takes place with the presence of supreme soul/Ahethu.   It protects the body while in the three states of sleep, awake and dreams, Oh! Narendra, This supreme soul is addressed as ‘Athman’/Paramathma.  The realization of the supreme spirit with constant meditation is an experience that is beyond words, as the sparks of fire do not understand the splendor of the fire.  Oh! Rajan, the supreme soul has neither birth nor death, it is changeless, therefore contemplate upon the supreme soul, that would provide the skill to witness the Prakrithi that undergoes constant transformation, without getting attached to it.   Oh! Rajan, The intense devotion and faith upon the lotus feet of Supreme Lord, with the constant practice of recitation and reading his splendor, would cease the thoughts and impurities of the mind in Jeeva, and this process is called purification of the mind. The constant practice of these techniques of meditation would take you to a transcendental state which is beyond words.  The cluster of unwanted thoughts causes due to the attachment to material matters and people, eventually, they create obstacles in the mind to contemplate upon the supreme soul that has the brilliance of Sun.”
