Based on the March Mamsani
Identify and investigate yūlā»: Feel the vibration of the physical body, your muscles, the bones, the circulation. This is your physical being.§

Quote from Gurudeva§
It is important in securing your unfoldment where it is that you really are very much aware of the difference in vibration between yūlam° and yūlaf». For one is often taken for the other. Very often yūlam° is emotionally taken to be yūlaf», especially when much bhakti yoga and chanting is done by unfolded people. This accounts for religious fervor and emotionalism. §

Twelve Shum Meditations Shum-Tyeif Mamsani for the Month of March§
La, lam, laf, lamf are four vibratory rates of energies which can be perceived singularly or in any combination. For example, one can feel the vibration of someone’s physical body and emotional body, be they healthy or unhealthy, both at the same time. When an individual has matured inwardly and realized God Śiva, the most refined śakti, called lamf, can also be felt.§
This most important mamsanī tells our story, the story of our states of being. When we meditate upon it, we are seeing our superconscious existence, which will eventually come fully into existence after we have attained ī
» kaīf». §
We experience some days when divine energies flow through our bodies, when Śiva’s cosmic energy sparks our mind. Now we have a name for this state of being, this energy: laf. Laf describes our state of mind when Lord Śiva’s superconscious, creative knowledge enriches our vision and the vision of others, improving the quality of life for all. When we experience our subconscious, emotional feelings—good, bad, mixed—we now have a name to call it: lam. And when we are only aware of the external world and our physical body we have a name for that too: la.§
This mamsanī shows the path in a different way than the one we will study in October, “makaif», kaīf», īī» kaīf», ī» kaīf».” On the last two days of each week this month, put these two mamsanī side by side and meditate on them together. You will experience how they tie into each other. You will see how the lamf path ties into the kaīf», ī» kaīf» path. In doing this, you will be taking your first step in creating your own mamsanī. Shūm is a full and fluid language. You can create your own mamsanī. §
