Namaste

Of course depending on the level of consciousness of the aspirant one would

have to use Mantras, Stotras, Tantras, Yantras, Mental

and Physical Gymnastics, Breath control, Yoga classes etc. to be able to get to

this state of simplicity. All of the above are designed to condition the mind in

God consciousness, it also provides a grounding in the religion and serves a

vital purpose of transmission of culture to families, and to communities as a

whole.

We need to be mindful that not all are advanced yogis and so these serve a

purpose, by over simplification we run the risk of losing focus.

Mr. Dev maharaj, you are right. Sambhava Upaya is

the pathway for the most enlightened Yogi.

“us mortals†start at the bottom and go from Anava Upaya, Sakta Upaya to Sambhava Upaya. Saktopaya involves mantras.

Anava

Upaya (AnavopAya) is for the least

spiritually developed (We the people). Anavopaya demands support from

mental and psychical props (breathing control, contemplation etc. to attain the

goal. It involves Control of breathing and the organs of senses,

contemplation, Mantra Japa, Sthana Prakalpana....

Sakta

Upaya (SAktopAya) Mantra Sakti: Here the Cittam (the mature mind)

in its perfection brings about meditation and reflection on the Highest Reality

enshrined in the Mantra and identifies with the deity of the Mantra. Mechanical

repetition of Mantra has no value. The I-Consciousness of Siva is Sakti of

Siva. Meditating on Sakti is SAktopAya. Sakti is the essence or the soul of

Mantra.
