Discourse :
Taijasa, whose field is the dream state, is the second letter ‘u’ due to (the similarity of) superiority and middle-ness. One who meditates thus extends the range of knowledge and becomes equal (to all.) In his family there will be no one who is ignorant of Brahman.The second equation is presented. ‘u’ is the second letter of O?kara and Taijasa is the dream state. We
have to include the Hira?yagarbha at the total level. Two common features of u-kara and Taijasa are
noted. The first is that both are superior to the previous pair. u-kara is superior to a-kara because u-kara is closer to silence compared to a-kara. Similarly, Hira?yagarbha is closer to Turiya? Brahman.
Hiranyagarbha is the cause for Virat and so superior. The second is that u-kara is intermediary between a-kara and ma-kara. Similarly, Hira?yagarbha is intermediary between Virat and Isvara.
A person has to practice u-kara meditation. The ni?kama benefit is expansion of the mind. Sakama
benefit: One who meditates on u-kara will have increased knowledge because Hira?yagarbha is the total intellect. This meditator will not be disliked by anyone. He will be chosen as the intermediary in
resolving disputes. This meditator will later become a jñani also and in his family there will be no selfignorant eople.
