Neurralise the pulsations, centripetal and centrifugal, viz . , Prana
and Apana .Stabilise the path of pulsation and enter into the poise of
breath.Bring mind to heart by thinking if the heart.There is no
Kumbhaka business in Patanjali and Bhagavadgita.That is,breathing the
air and stopping it tight and such nasty procedures are not taught in
the office of these two text books of Yoga.Take the breathe in, calmly
as far as possible i.e. , within your limits, in one stream and
breathe out in the same way.During this process,let   the breath not
move.Such respiration you should do continuously and observe
movements of  lungs and chest etc.While you are doing it .By way of
this practice, the samaveda will be established.Then the
‘’Chandases’’  that missed will be again obtained.’’Chandases’’ are
not the metres in which the vedic mantrams are written.In the Gita, it
is said,’’Chandansi Yasya Parnani ‘’.By virtues of the above
practice,you find the measures, numbers and metres inside us ( in the
heart and chest region).You will begin  to find the music inside the
respiration and heart-beat and circulation and pulsation once again.In
the beginning,you can do only continuously three respiration like
this, because it is rather slow.The lungs want quick respiration
because we arebreathing much dust and much smoke along with air all
these tens of years.Slowly you do only three respirations like this;
and then give a pause for half aminute.(Leave irregular
respiration).Again give a pause.Again continuously.But go slow.Don’t
do any haste.This is the first step.

                                             THE SECOND STEP OF
PRANAYAMA

As long as you inhaling,mentally utter the sound  ‘ ‘
So’’continuously. As long as you are exhaling utter not only mentally
but also vocally ‘ ‘ Ham’’.While inhaling utter ‘ ‘So’’ mentally and
exhaling ‘ ‘Ham’’vocally.(Master demonstrated this process).After
doing these nine breaths of the first step,you take up the second
step.All steps have to be taken up simultaneously.Everyday you should
do all these steps.The second, we are describing . As long as you are
inhaling,You do ‘ ‘So’’with the mind.As long as you are exhaling,you
do  ‘ ‘Ham’’ vocally continuously and listen to your own voice.That is
the most important part of it.With out it, the whole experiment is a
big failure.Listen to your own voice.You should not listen to the
telephone calls etc. ,while uttering. ‘ ‘Ham’’,you should listen to
it, i.e., your own voice.Like this ,do 3+3+3.Do three respirations
like this.Take a pause.Again three respirations.Take a pause.Again
three respirations.

                                           THE THIRD STEP OF PRANAYAMA

You have to be seated mentally near ‘OM’ by worshipping it i.e.,
uttering it vocallyl.Three breaths,like this you do.Take a
pause .Again three breaths,Again take a pause.Again three breaths.
3+3+3.third step.In total, three steps  of nine breaths each are
there.These include first practice,second practice and third practice.
This is all  what we have to do. (along with the preliminaries already
told before).The rest is what happens  and not what we have to
do.Volumes and volumes of book written deal with what happens inside.
So we have no concern with it.Only if we do this,all that written in
the books becomes reality.What we have to do is confirmed to only this
much.Later ‘ ‘GURU’ comes to us from inside and instructs us inside
what we have to do and there is no more instruction from the Guru
coming from outside.Gradually,when you feel the comfort and ease and
happiness of it,you increase the time and also number of respirations,
with out incurring any discomfort .After sometimes, you will be able
to conduct the same type of process continuously, while you are
attending to your own business or office work etc.While you are
listening to others words, this process goes on in you, but while you
talk, it will be disturbed .After some more time, even while you are
talking, there will be no disturbance for this process to go on in
you.That point of time will occure.It will deal with the time of this
occurance.This is what is expected of us.
So here what are we doing ? When we are starting to utter vocally,we
are bringing this(mind and the pulsation that causes respiration) to
Rigveda.Thus we have brought yajurveda to samaveda and samaveda and
yajureda to rigveda.That means,we have linked the whole series the
vocal-chords and utterance and began to listen to our own voice. ‘
‘ESHA THRAYI VIDYA’’ . This is the three fold wisdom. ‘’ YA EVAM VEDA
SA SHOKAM THARATHI’’ one who experience it, has no sorrow.This is for
today.
