raja ne unhean samajhaya ki ap sabhi vaishvanar atma ke ek-ek aang ki upasana karate the. kisi ek aang mean sthit atma ki upasana se 'atmatattv' ki anubhooti to ki ja sakati hai, kintu use vahian tak simit nahian rakha ja sakata. vah to anant brahmand mean vyapt hai. yadi us virat chaitany shakti ko kisi ek aang tak simit rakha jayega, to vah virat ke satat pravah ko banaye rakhane mean asaphal ho jayega. usase us aang-vishesh ko hani ho sakati hai. vah anekanek vikaroan se grasit ho sakata hai.

brahm' aur 'manav sharir

'brahm' ki rachana aur 'manav-sharir' ki rachana mean gahara samy hai. yahaan isi tathy ka udghatan karane ka prayatn kiya gaya hai. panchatatvoan-

1. prithvi
2. jal
3. agni
4. vayu
5. akash se 'manav-sharir' aur 'brahm' ki rachana ka samy darshaya gaya hai. 'dyulok' (akash) brahm ka mastak hai. yahian atma nivas karati hai. 'adity' (agni) ko brahm ke netr kaha gaya hai. 'vayu' pran-roop mean sharir mean sthit hai. 'jal' ka sthan udar ya mootrashay mean hai.

raja ashvapati ne kaha ki 'panch pran' v sharir ki vibhinn karmendriyoan ka atoot sambandh hai. yadi vaishvanar vidya ko achchhi prakar se janakar yajnakarm kiya jaye, to sabhi karmeanndriyoan mean 'brahmatej' ka uday hona anivary hai.
sarvapratham pakaye hue bhojan se 'pranay svaha' mantr padhakar yajn mean ahuti dean. isase 'pran' tript hote haian, chakshuoan ke tript hone se soory tript hota hai, soory ke tript hone se 'dyulok' (akash) tript hota hai, dyulok ke tript hone se svayan bhog lagane vala sadhak, brahmatej se tript ho jata hai.
isi prakar doosari ahuti, 'vyanay svaha' mantr padhakar 'vyan' ko tript karean. vyan ki tripti se karmendriyaan tript ho jati hai.
tisari ahuti 'apanay svaha' mantr se dean. isase 'apan' tript hota hai aur apan ki tripti se vagindriy (vani) ki tripti hoti hai.
chauthi ahuti 'samanay svaha' se dean. isase 'saman' tript hota hai. aur saman ki tripti se 'man' tript hota hai.
paanchavian ahuti 'udanay svaha' se dean. isase udan tript hota hai aur udan ki tripti se 'tvacha' ki tripti hoti hai.
is prakar kiye gaye yajnakarm se 'brahmatej' tript hota hai aur usake tript hone se sampoorn pap jalakar nasht ho jate haian tatha samast atmaoan aur lokoan mean brahmatej ka pradurbhav ho jata hai.
