7 quotes from Play of Consciousness by Swami Muktananda:
1. "The whole body is like a lotus that has four petals of four kinds, colors, and sizes. Each of these has its own significance. The first is the gross body; its color is red. The second petal is the subtle body, in which we sleep and experience dreams. It is the size of a thumb, and its color is white. The third petal is the causal body. It is the size of the tip of the third finger, and its color is black. The fourth petal is the supracausal body, which is as small as a sesame seed. Its color is blue. This last body is of the greatest importance. It is very brilliant; it is the foundation of sadhana; it is the highest inner vision."
2. "My days passed differently from before, for my heart was deeply satisfied with the vision of the Blue Pearl, and it told me that I had been blessed with a gift from the goddess Kundalini. I began to honor everyone in my heart."
3. "The blue akasha, an expansion of blue color, began to appear in meditation and with it the nila bindu, the Pearl of infinite power."
4. "Now my meditation went beyond the black light to the Blue Pearl. As soon as I sat down to meditate, there would be gentle movement in my body and then a rush of new energy through the nadis. The red, white, black, and blue lights would come."
5. "It is this bindu I have called Nileshvari, the Blue Goddess, the Blue Pearl. This Pearl is as big as a sesame seed and like a house, and the supreme Self, God, lives in that house. Tukaram says that this bindu in fact contains the three worlds within it. Just think—heaven, the human world, and hell are all inside it."
6. "If you do find yourself in the company of some hypocrite who distorts everything, don't let yourself be dragged down into his world. Close your eyes and pray, 'O Sadguru, you are the father of all, You are my mother. Save me.' If you remain vigilant, your sadhana will progress quickly."
7. "Such is the significance of the mila bindu, which I have called Nileshvari, the Blue Goddess. Just from seeing this Blue Pearl, you can attain jivanmukti, the state of liberation. But this is not full realization, nor the state of perfection, nor the final goal of the Siddha path. When you see the Blue Pearl all the time, this means that you are in the turiya state, the state of complete transcendence. If a seeker dies after having this vision, he will go to Brahmaloka, the world of Brahman, and attain complete fulfillment by finishing his sadhana there. Now I often saw a wonderfully luminous ball of light. It was much brighter than the other lights, and as I gazed at it, my meditation became better and better."
