Purification (Tapa)

Meaning of the cell

While on the first level, the player may for some time feel quite well, but soon he begins to experience a lack of life energy, wasted in negative emotions and sensuality. The loss of energy leads to feelings of inner emptiness. Purification is always accompanied by a rise in the level of vibrations, and energy begins to flow upward. This process takes place through changes in thoughts and actions, as well as through correcting one's way of life. Purification of hearing occurs when the power of hearing is withdrawn from the outer world and directed toward the sounds of the inner world. Maintaining complete silence for a certain period purifies the process of thinking. Fasting purifies the body. Overcoming difficulties purifies the player's personality, listening to the reading of sacred scriptures and inspired poetry purifies his inner self, the recitation of mantras purifies the nerves, and concentration and meditation purify both body and mind.
