the Ātman in the waking state is comparable, therefore,with akāra, the first syllable of Omkāra. And the Upanishadalso says that by meditation on this harmony between akāraof Om and the waking state of the Ātman, one achieves thefulfilment of all desires – āpnoti ha vai sarvān kāmān. Onebecomes, also, the foremost among all persons, and almostthe beginning of all things in the sense that everythingcomes to that person, even uncalled for – ādisca bhavati.This achievement of the yogin by meditation is described,also, in the Chhāndogya Upanishad in the context of thedescription of a technique called the Vaiśvānara vidyā.Though the Māndūkya Upanishad is very brief in itsdescription of Vaiśvānara, the Chhāndogya Upanishad goesinto great detail by way of a clarification of the vidyā, ormeditation, on the Vaiśvānara. By a meditation on thisCosmic State of the Ātman, called Vaiśvānara, the yoginachieves a power which cannot be faced by anything else inthe world, and everything comes to him without his askingfor them. Real power is that which summons things evenwithout expressing it in words. You do not tell a person, ‘doit’; he simply does it. And that is the height of all power.This is achieved by meditation on the Vaiśvānara. Ya evamveda: One who knows this secret of meditation on theharmony between akāra and the waking state of the Ātman,who meditates on the Vaiśvānara-ātman as designated bythe first phase, or syllable of Omkāra, becomes a masterover all things, a perfected Siddha does he become, and heis an adept in yoga. This is in relation to the waking state,jāgaritasthāna which is Vaiśvānara, prathamapāda, akāra,113
