Analysis:
Having closed all the avenues of knowledge and having concentrated thought in the lotus of the heart, and with thought thus controlled, he ascends by the Nadi which passes upwards from the heart, and then fixing life-breath in the head, he who utters the syllable 'Om', the appellation of the Brahman, and meditates on Me is sure to reach the Supreme Goal at the time of leaving the body.
