guided even the sitting posture included. Orison has been compared to watering the garden of the soul. While initial meditation is compared to drawing up water in a bucket with a rope from a deep well; the next step is drawing it up by installing a pulley; further progress is watering with canal water. The last step when God's force descends from above into the physical body is just like pouring rain to water the garden of the Soul when even the uneven and raised parts of the field will become green and fruitful. While the ascending force will bring bliss, the descending force from the Transcendent is the transferring force. It will change the vibratory power of each cell of the physical body which means extension of consciousness. The ascending force will come out of Sahasrära and may lead to the formation of four subtle bodies. This is a lengthy subject and has been dealt with in my book "Spiritual Science" in the Chapter "Man and his Garments". Then bodies surround and interpenetrate the physical body (Annamaya Koşa) and have been named Prāņāmāya Koşa, Manomaya Koşa, Vijñānamaya Koşa and Anandmaya Koşa by the ancient saints.
The play of the two forces proceeds in a wonderful manner in various permutations and combinations and enables the real man to come out of the physical body. The virification of the centres of energy to make us superman is a very long affair and may extend over several years while the play of forces may proceed for all the 24 hours in a day. The intensity of the forces increases with rhythmic Bhajans and Sabda Kirtan. The inner controller teaches the Sadhaka to transform others and may allot other tasks like alleviation of human suffering.
When His full Grace is showered an individual will work in his subtle bodies as freely as in the physical body. He will dance with His tune and work with His will. God will bestow some or all of His power on the Saint. He may conquer death and leave the physical body with his will at His call. Such is the Ancient Indian Wisdom left to us as legacy to become man-God.

The pranayama is not much appreciable by the yogin who has developed disregard about bodily and worldly pleasures, whose passions are suppresed and senses are under control.
