MORE SECRET INSTRUCTIONS

After this comes the more secret instruction, which is knowledge of Supersoul. There are two classes of living entities, namely the fallible entities in the material world, and the infallible entities in the spiritual world. Beyond these two classes is Supersoul, an expansion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who resides in the hearts of all living entities, is described as being the size of one’s thumb. Meditate on Him, and if you don’t reach Him, try again. Again not reaching Him, try again.

That formless Brahman that I mentioned to you before don’t go there! Beware! It is extremely difficult to attach your consciousness to something which is formless.“ (Bhagavad-gita 12.5).



Instead, meditate on the paramatma within the heart.

One who links with Supersoul in yoga is really in the renounced order of life (a sannyasi) and is a real yogi. One does not become a real sannyasi merely by refraining from prescribed activities, or by muttering ‘I am Brahman.’ (Bhagavad-gita 12.56) This is all more secret instruction.
