When problem source is not known
Naran
Let us see how to dissolve our karmas through Bija Mantras.
There is a problem. However, source of the problem is not known. Karma is the only source. There are no other sources.
Irrespective of the karma or reason behind the cause of the problem, how we can remove it?
Contain the karma
Let us see the meaning of the Bija mantras OM LUM NAMAHA and OM VUM NAMAHA.
Lum means earth – a vessel, say an earthen pot. It denotes earth element.
We put water into the pot. Water element is always connected with our Karma. Through water element our desires are created. Because of our desires we get problems.
What is the source of desire – Water? So, I put water into the vessel. It means my karma is contained in the vessel.
How to remove the karma?
OM RUM NAMAHA – by fire element, we can remove it. This comes from Manipura Chakra. It will vaporize the water. When the fire burns, the water vaporizes.
The vaporized water will go into space – the universal energy – turning into light and love.
When the cause is put in the earthen pot and burnt, the water or karma is vaporized and transmuted into space and light. This is the way to resolve our karmas.
So, if we cannot resolve a problem then we can chant, “OM VUM NAMAHA OM LUM NAMAHA OM RUM NAMAHA OM YUM NAMAHA OM HUM NAMAHA”.
If I do so then we mean,
Om Vum Namaha – the cause of the problem or karma
Om Lum Namaha – I put it in the earthen pot
Om Rum Namaha – which I burnt it
Om Yum Namaha – it gets vaporized into space and
Om Hum Namaha – changing into light and love
How to combine with intention?
For this problem I don’t know the cause. So I am using this technique to solve it.
I visualize the problem, which I am putting as the cause of the problem inside the water contained in the pot and then I burn the pot with fire.
After I finished visualization, I can chant the mantras.

How to acquire a good breathing pattern?
- When you meditate, place the index finger at the base of the thumb on both the hands. Breathing will get deeper and you could meditate properly, as shallow breathing spoils it.
- Don’t take the index finger straight away move your finger to the base of the thumb. First touch the tip of thumb with the index finger. Then after some time, move the index finger to the middle of the thumb, and finally the base of the thumb.
- Don’t do it mechanically. Feel the breath with a conscious awareness.
- Observing your breathing is also a good way to meditate. This is part of meditation known as Vipassana meditation.
Space Meditation
- After learning to breathe well, do the space meditation.
- Be aware of the space between the chair you are sitting and the wall. Don’t look at the wall. Instead look at the space between you and the wall.
- This is known as ‘Space Meditation’. Keep the eyes open throughout.
Bach Flower Remedies as Aids to Meditation
White chestnut helps to remove our thoughts, Chestnut bud not to have any distractions and Willow if you think one or the other bothers you.
Chant Mantra during Meditation
It’s nature of our mind to cling to something. You can choose a mantra to do that. After sometime you should be able to say goodbye to it. Mantra itself is not divinity. It means constantly thinking about a word, which is a mantra. Ultimately that also should go.
When it will go? We don’t know. May be, it’s not in this Janma.
