Then, the spiritualist must meditate on the navel of the Lord, located in the center of his abdomen and similar to the moon. From this navel, which represents the foundation of the entire universe, grows the lotus stem which contains all the different planetary systems, and whose flower serves as the residence of Brahma, the first created being. In the same way, he must focus his attention on the nipples of the Lord, similar to a pair of ravishing emeralds and tinted with opaline shades under the effect of the radiance emanating from the necklaces of lactescent pearls that decorate his chest.
The spiritualist must then meditate on the chest of the Sovereign Lord, home of the goddess Maha-Laksmi; the chest of the Lord is the source of all transcendental bliss for the mind as well as total satisfaction for the eyes.

Its nose is prominent, and its crystal-clear cheeks are illuminated by the oscillation of its sparkling alligator-shaped earrings.
The spiritualist must then meditate on the radiant face of the Lord, framed by curls of hair and embellished by his lotus-like eyes and dancing eyebrows. A lotus surrounded by bees and a couple of fish frolicking in the wave would be ashamed of their grace in front of his.
The spiritualist must contemplate with deep devotion the compassionate glances frequently cast by the eyes of the Lord, for they relieve the three dreadful forms of suffering [Those from the body and mind, those caused by other living entities, and those originating from the material nature; hurricanes, high winds, heavy rains, extreme cold, etc., under the impulse of the beings of the higher planets, who govern
