Vignanamaya Kosha

Everything is inside you. All four corners of this country are inside your boundary. Feel that everything is inside you. All the movements, everything is inside you. You are filling everything.

Now, expand and just feel that this whole globe, the entire planet earth is inside you. Whatever you know about this planet earth, all the places that you have heard about or seen, wherever your memory can penetrate, expand to cover it. Let the whole thing be inside your inner space. Experience all the places inside your boundary, inside your skin, inside you. Expand. Let everything be inside you. Feel the oceans, mountains, rivers, cities, everything to be inside you. The whole globe is moving inside your inner space.

Expand further so that the whole solar family is inside you. The sun, moon, planet earth, all the planets are moving inside you. Feel everything moving inside your head. Let everything be inside your head. See that you have expanded and the whole solar family is moving inside your head.

Now… expand further. Let the whole cosmos be inside you. The whole empty space, light covered by light, darkness covered by darkness, big bangs and black holes that are happening…whatever you know as the cosmos, expand and allow it to be inside you. Continue to expand. Feel the bliss in you. Feel the immense lightness in you. Feel the expanse of bliss in you.

You will start moving towards experiencing the ānandamayā kośa. It is at the level of the ānandamayā kośa that true yoga happens, where the union of mind, body and spirit takes place, where you are one with the cosmic energy; where the Self is alive and you have identified yourself with it!

Thank you.
