Subtle Refinement – The Vaporization of Life Energy (Prāṇa-Śakti)

At the beginning of creation, the One became many. This was how the universe expanded. Those who bring about great transformations in the cosmos must similarly increase the number of those who assist them.

Individuals of Ṛṣi stature must divide and multiply their personal power into several parts. Processes like splitting, grinding, breaking, and dispersing divide an object into multiple fragments. Generally, such division weakens each fragment, but under certain conditions, it enhances power manifold. When a tiny seed is broken down to the atomic level, it ultimately explodes as an immense force. This atomic energy surpasses all other known energies in power.

The Extreme Subtlety of Matter

The ultimate unit of independent existence in matter is the atom (aṇu), which retains all the properties of that substance. The precise nature of various atoms is yet to be fully understood. Different substances have atoms of different sizes—some are so minute that ten million of them fit into an inch, while others may have only a million per inch. If the density of a substance is increased, the number of these microscopic atoms and their power also increase. This principle was not only proposed by homeopathy experts but was also verified through experiments.

Compared to solid states, gases are more diffuse and expansive. The invisible air surrounding us contains approximately five thousand atoms per cubic inch. As matter undergoes further refinement, the number of these atoms increases. Their movement also accelerates with heat, and in gaseous form, atomic motion becomes even more intense.

In solid substances, interatomic forces hold atoms in place, preventing movement. As temperature rises, atomic motion intensifies, and these binding forces weaken. The different states of matter—solid, liquid, gas, and plasma—are simply progressive refinements of material existence.

Subtle Refinement in Consciousness

The same principle applies to the conscious self. As refinement increases, the doctrine of omnipresence and universality is realized in its full essence. The subtle structure of the human body operates similarly. If the dormant energy centers within are awakened, they can transform a person into an extraordinary being. The human constitution comprises three bodies, five sheaths (kośas), and six energy centers (chakras). By refining these aspects, consciousness can be expanded to a cosmic level. Though these are all components of the same body, they each maintain their distinct functional existence.

The Four States of Human Consciousness

Ancient scriptures describe four states of human existence:

1. Jāgrat (Waking State) – Ordinary life activities dominated by sensory perceptions. Most individuals spend their entire lives within this state.
2. Svapna (Dream State) – Here, the mind engages with past experiences, impressions, sounds, and subtle interactions with the five tanmātras (subtle elements). Occasionally, premonitions and extrasensory perceptions occur in this state. However, only certain dream elements are remembered; the rest are forgotten.
3. Suṣupti (Deep Sleep State) – In this state, the connection with both the external and internal worlds is severed.
4. Turīya (Transcendental State) – The highest and most awakened spiritual state. This is the peak of spiritual consciousness, where the individual soul (jīvātmā) undergoes its final evolution into a great sage, divine being, or even a realized deity.

Great sages, saints, and spiritual luminaries of the past attained the turīya state through intense yogic efforts and became omnipresent beings. This supreme state is inherently accessible to all, but only those with a firm spiritual resolve (sankalpa) can actualize it.

Subtle Refinement and the Evolution of the Soul

Scriptures discuss the origin of creation and the subsequent development of procreation (āmaithunī sṛṣṭi). In earlier epochs, highly evolved beings who had attained spiritual enlightenment through disciplined practice (yoga and upāsanā) reincarnated to guide humanity. They revealed the deeper truths of dharma, elevating the masses towards self-realization. Their divine knowledge and wisdom allowed even ordinary individuals (who remain confined to the waking state) to advance in the path of spiritual liberation.

Across different cosmic cycles (kalpas) and aeons (manvantaras), certain divine souls remain engaged in activities within the subtle realm, ensuring that dharma, righteousness, and noble ideals never completely vanish.

Subtle Refinement in Spiritual Science

The Upaniṣads describe highly realized beings as those who awaken the causal body (kāraṇa-śarīra), determining the spiritual practices appropriate for their time and space. The Paṇcadaśī scripture explains the composition of the subtle body as follows:

“Buddhi, karmendriyas, prāṇa – these five along with the mind form the subtle body. It is known as the liṅga-śarīra (subtle body).”

This means that the **five senses of perception (jñānendriyas), five organs of action (karmendriyas), five vital energies (prāṇas), mind, and intellect—seventeen elements in total—constitute the subtle body.

The human body is described as the abode of sages, deities, and divine incarnations. Within different regions of the body reside celestial rivers, mountains, and cosmic energies. Although the physical body is composed of waste-producing elements, its subtle essence can serve as a conduit for universal consciousness. The human form is a complete laboratory, containing blueprints for various future technological and scientific advancements.

The microcosm (piṇḍa) is a reflection of the macrocosm (brahmāṇḍa). However, this universal potential remains dormant. If awakened, it can manifest cosmic consciousness within the individual.

Vaporization – The Process of Refinement

The principle of vaporization (bāṣpīkaraṇa) transforms the gross into the vast. A gaseous substance can spread over a large distance and exert influence far beyond its immediate vicinity. For instance, when chili is burned, its essence disperses in the air, affecting a wide area. Similarly, a spiritual aspirant (sādhaka) can expand their personality and influence through the process of subtle refinement.

In Ayurveda, prolonged purification (kalvana) of an herb significantly enhances its potency. Similarly, in homeopathy, the process of extreme dilution (potentiation) magnifies the strength of the medicine.

Various spiritual disciplines involve intense austerities to transform bodily conditions and inner tendencies. The same spiritual practice does not yield identical results for everyone. Therefore, one’s spiritual discipline must be carefully determined based on lineage, past life tendencies, and inherent disposition. Such precision requires deep experience and guidance from an adept master. Those who receive proper instruction undoubtedly attain success.

The Unparalleled Power of Subtle Refinement

Do not ask how I am proceeding with my process of subtle refinement or what methods I am employing. This is a specialized experiment, governed by the strict discipline of my spiritual guide. Such inquiries are unnecessary because this process cannot be replicated. What should be done and why it should be done is something I follow as per my master’s directive.

In summary, subtle refinement (sūkṣmīkaraṇa) is vaporization. Through this, I transform my mental and vital energies into an immense, boundless force. The five subtle sheaths (pañca-kośas) within must be heated until they emerge as independent entities. Just as boiling water produces separate bubbles, which momentarily maintain individuality before merging, a sādhaka and his master must determine how large a bubble should be, what purpose it must serve, and how intensely it should be energized.

This process is the royal path for refining the subtle and causal bodies during the waking state. It is the eternal system of the Ṛṣi tradition, where highly evolved souls refine themselves not for personal liberation but for the welfare of the universe.

Final Message

What will society gain from my subtle refinement and vaporization process? What transformations will occur in present conditions? Such questions may arise in your minds.

To my companions and associates, I state this with firm conviction: I am fully committed to demonstrating these principles through direct experience. My master has given me a responsibility, and it is my duty to make it clear to all.

Through this process, I am not merely performing an experiment—I am preparing for the future of humanity. The era of great transformation is upon us, and my role in this cosmic transition will be fulfilled with unwavering determination.

The Great Potential of the Subtle (Mahāt)

The gross (sthūla) is perceptible because it can be seen with sensory perception and mechanical instruments. These have names, forms, and measurable attributes. However, despite its perceptibility, the realm of the gross is limited in scope, and its potential remains constrained. Nevertheless, humans directly interact with this realm and experience its consequences in the form of harm and benefit, sorrow and joy.

The nature of the subtle (sūkṣma) is entirely different. Like life energy (prāṇa), it is neither experienced through the senses nor easily comprehended. Even though the physical body is visible, the height, width, and weight of life energy (prāṇa) cannot be measured. Yet, everyone understands that the energy, intellect, and functioning of the body depend solely on prāṇa. The moment prāṇa departs, the body loses its worth entirely, becoming as insignificant as a discarded shell.

The gravitational force of the Earth is invisible, yet it holds the planet in its position within the solar system. If this force did not exist, Earth would drift away like a speck of dust in the vastness of space.

Humans belong to the animal kingdom, but their subtle body (sūkṣma-śarīra) has boundless potential. Great beings such as Mahāmunis, Ṛṣis, and Devas have manifested their extraordinary abilities through the power of their subtle bodies. Figures like Mahatma Gandhi and the Buddha did not attain greatness merely due to their physical capabilities, but rather through the strength of their inner radiance (antarāṅga-varchas).

The subtle body of nature remains unseen, yet powerful forces like heat, sound, light, and magnetism function in an imperceptible state. Even the most potent laser beams are invisible to the naked eye. The subatomic particles released during nuclear fission are unseen, yet they contain immense energy reserves.

A human being, in his gross form, is merely a structure of bones and flesh. However, upon entry into the refined subtle world, he evolves into a divine being, possessing a power comparable to that of the Supreme.

The Transformations Induced by Subtle Refinement (Sūkṣmīkaraṇa)

Since May 1984, I have ceased all gross-level activities associated with the physical body. This means that personal conversations, direct consultations, and interactions have come to a halt, except for certain exceptional circumstances. The laws of the inert world apply only to material entities, whereas consciousness operates under a distinct and unique principle.

The objective of my process of subtle refinement (sūkṣmīkaraṇa) is to exponentially enhance the potential of the five koshas (sheaths). In the physical world, two bodies are counted as two separate entities, but in the subtle dimension, the principles of arithmetic, geometry, and algebra do not apply in the same way. In school mathematics, 2+2+2+2 equals 8, but in the subtle realm, it follows the principle of multiplication: 2×2×2×2 equals 16. The refinement of subtle energies results in an even greater magnitude of transformation.

A human possesses five levels of existence—the annamaya (physical), prāṇamaya (vital), manomaya (mental), vijñānamaya (intellectual), and ānandamaya (blissful) koshas. If all five koshas are awakened, a person is considered to have enhanced his potential fivefold. However, according to the divine mathematics, this multiplication follows the pattern of 5×5×5×5×5 = 3,125 times.

If a group of five knowledgeable individuals functions within the limits of the gross plane, their collective capacity remains finite. However, once refined into the subtle dimension, the method of calculation changes drastically. Through the practice of sūkṣmīkaraṇa sādhana (subtle refinement practice), the subtle body can amplify its power up to 3,125 times, achieving an extraordinary state of capability.

The Subtle Power in Historical Context

The great deeds performed by Hanuman during the Rāmāyaṇa era were the results of his subtle body’s immense power. When confined to his gross form, he served Sugrīva and was even subjected to humiliation due to Sugrīva’s constraints. However, upon embracing the subtle dimension, his awakened conscious force (cetana-sāmarthya) enabled him to transcend limitations and accomplish miraculous feats.

This process of subtle refinement (sūkṣmīkaraṇa sādhana) has been undertaken as a responsibility towards the divine era (yuga-parivartan) and as an offering to the Supreme Time (Mahākāla). The transitional period of this era will continue until the year 2000 AD. During this phase, I will neither age nor die. Instead, I will enhance my power 3,125 times and live according to this heightened state of existence.

In this dimension, restrictions of space and time do not apply. The limitations imposed by location, age, nationality, gender, religion, and language will be transcended. Wherever and whenever a necessity arises, my sensory capabilities will be utilized accordingly.

Until 2000 AD, only the unknowing masses may believe that I have ceased to exist. Although physical meetings and interactions may no longer take place, I will continue my designated responsibilities with even greater intensity and dedication. Scholars and visionaries should take note of this truth.

One of my principal responsibilities is the continuous creation of literature aligned with the needs of the new era (yuga-anukūla sāhitya sṛṣṭi). This work will proceed uninterrupted until 2000 AD. Regardless of whose hand holds the pen, the guiding force behind it will be mine. My voice will never be silenced. Whether it is expressed through my own physical tongue or channeled through others is something the future will reveal.

At present, my work is centered around Hindu sacred sites, particularly Mathura and Haridwar. However, moving forward, my endeavors will transcend all worldly distinctions, and I will employ my subtle sensory faculties wherever and whenever necessary.

Until 2000 AD, only those unaware of the deeper truth will assume that I have perished. Although I may not be visibly present for physical interactions, my designated responsibilities will continue to be fulfilled with even greater intensity.

This process of subtle refinement (sūkṣmīkaraṇa sādhana) aims to multiply the capabilities of the subtle body exponentially, leading to an unparalleled transformation in consciousness and divine power.
