Meditation: Meditation is the continuous flow of the mind toward Atman (internal soul or manna) through the total exclusion of all ideas foreign to it. The aspirant should meditate on Aum or Ek Unkar with great love, regarding it as the symbol of Brahma, picture of Brahma (the god of birth) until death.
Which World: Many are the worlds that spiritual seekers may attain after death. Aum or Ek Unkar is the symbol of both the Lower Brahma and Higher Brahma. Brahma may be worshiped by the aspirant in both aspects. From the Lower Brahma, a yogi can attain the Higher Brahma by gradual stages. The Supreme Brahma, also called the Higher Brahma, is devoid of all characteristics and cannot be known through words or thought. Aparabrahman (high brahama) or the lower, ‘other’ Brahman, is the first manifestation of the Absolute or pure Consciousness in maya (the physical objects in life).
Brahma, being transcendental in nature, cannot be directly comprehended by the mind. Therefore, many indirect meditations on Brahman are laid down in the scriptures. One such, is meditation through a symbol or pratika, which means mediation on one aspect of an all pervading entity, or on something associated with it, as the thing (a physical symbol) itself. Aum or Ek Unkar is the most immediate symbol of Brahma through concentration and chanting. It is much more effective than any other symbol. By contemplating the Supreme Brahma through Aum Ek Unkar, one realizes the highest plane and by using Aum or Ek Unkar as a symbol of the lower Brahma, one attains a lower plane, so a yogi or yoga practitioner or mediator must use the word Aum or Ek Unkar.
Place of the Moon: the second syllable, U, is the symbol of the verses of the Yajur Veda leading up to the Somaloka, soma means moon and loka means world, so the of moon or plane of the Moon, located in the space between Heaven and Earth where dwellers experience various supernatural glories(“greatness”). The mind is controlled by the Deity who governs the moon. It is associated with dreams, since dreams are creation of the mind. Dream experiences are projections of the mind. The after-death experiences in the Place of the Moon are of the same nature as ideas and are therefore compared to dreams.
Sama Verses: He is led up, by the Sama Veda verses, of which M is the symbol, to the Worlds of Brahma. From this, which is the aggregate of all lives, he beholds the Supreme Purusha, masculine nature of the nature and parkariti feminine nature of the universe nature higher than the highest and pervading all bodies. This exalted plane is also known as Saryaloka.
But When Joined Together: if the aspirant meditates separately on each of the three letters constituting Aum or Ek Unkar, he is born again in this world. This because A, U and M, E, K, U, N, K, A and R taken separately, do not indicate Saguna Brahma, the realization of which alone enables one to transcend death. When the letters are joined together to form the syllable Aum or Ek Unkar, that syllable should be used as the symbol of Brahma or the Cosmic Reality.
Trembles Not: As a result of meditation on Brahma, the aspirant realizes his oneness with Saguna Brahma, or the World soul also the supreme soul or almightily or super power of the universe. Therefore, the yogi or meditator has no reason to be afraid of anything. Attaining Brahmaloka the world of universe and creator-God, he overcomes death and rebirth reanimation. He who mediates on the entire syllable Aum or Ek Unkar, bearing in mind his identity with Brahma, attains Brahmaloka and ultimately final Liberation.
