We perform all acts in this world as per our desire for achieving objects, required for our daily life. These may be desires of this life or any previous one, that were not fulfilled, thus keeping alive the attachment for it along with longing to acquire it. All information and knowledge acquired through the senses are the source of doubt, and doubt is the root cause of fear due to the existence of duality in the relative world. This creates a sense of un-surety, that envelops the individuals faith. This along with imagination formed by insufficient information and knowledge, created due to partial experience of daily life situation, is also a source of fear (of the un-known or incomplete).
This develops impurities in the three levels, causing impediment to the flow of vital energy, experienced as stress and strain. Every living being goes through the cycles, this is also caused by ignorance, over indulgence of sense organs for joy or pleasure & anxiety. In other words it can be felt as a sense of emptiness created by tensed muscles. Strain is that effort automatically taken by the body to set right the disturbance, thus it always accompanies the stress.
We humans limit our experience by continuously being engaged in the activity of the sense organs or engaging our thought in memories either to understand new things or confirm the present interaction or dream (re-living the past experiences). Only if we allow the consciousness to experience the consciousness of all the universe at the same time (that is the individual consciousness of all living beings) as described, “ we define it as experiencing our self in all possible ways possible.” we have achieved the goal.
This is possible as it is one of the possibilities that are possible in this universe. To understand this see the functioning of the brain, how it coordinates all the organs of the body, all at the same time continuously. One more way is to go into more subtle realms of the functioning of organs themselves as a coordinated effort with all the other organs.
Purification ,perfection, and maturity in the Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Plane are necessary. The journey into the absolute or out of body and mind experience is possible only after one has achieved mastery in these three states. Short glimpses of the absolute or out of body and mind experience are possible to be experienced by everyone, staying there for a definite period of time enough to recognize it is difficult.
Most often we fail to even acknowledge the sound, vision, smell, taste, or feeling it may be due to these event not being registered in our minds, but as we progress even a little bit into these three stages, we will definitely recognize each and every one of the slightest changes in our environment, or in the realms that we are presently concentrating on. This can lead one to develop pride; another stumbling block in our progress, giving up this is possible only by realizing the equality with all the manifested universe. The biggest obstacle is to hold on to our acquired knowledge gained through the sense organs and reject anything else that is beyond them
Purification leads to clarity, it is neither rejecting nor accepting the information present in the form of duality only then one can be at peace with oneself and the environment.
Perfection leads to removal of attachment without denial of the same,
Maturity leads to intensity of desire for removal of incompleteness (developed due to the separation from the whole), thus we can become one with the whole called omnipotent through the cultivation of discriminative wisdom (experiential knowledge put into practice) .
Purification in the physical plane it is connected to the surroundings that we live in. Purification in the FOOD SHEATH with daily baths (twice a day), seasonal oil, herbal cleansing to keep the skin and the openings of our body clean. Adequate nourishing food as per the season and type of our body humor, to keep the bodies flesh bones and other organs healthy. Purification in the ENERGY SHEATH can achieved by regular exercise, regulated breathing (pranayama) and guided circulation of vital energy through mudras and concentrated thoughts. Purification in the MENTAL SHEATH is possible by guiding the thoughts from disturbed ones to anything that establishes love and a sense of pleasure and joy. Purification in the KNOWLEDGE SHEATH is possible by self study (with contemplation) and discussions with learned people about spiritual topics, or listening to pleasant devotional music, stories, and meditation on the absolute reality. Purification in the EXPERIENTIAL OR JOY SHEATH is possible only after the previous sheaths are purified
Perfection is the art of repeating any act without any deviation from that what is required to achieve that desired effect in its completeness creating a false appearance of great importance or worth is definitely not the way to achieve this. This can be achieving the purification of the above five sheaths. The easiest method to achieve this is; define the routine acts to be performed, assign the time schedule for each along with the sequence. Here regularity should be emphasized, one may to doing it mentally at the specified time, if things are not conducive to performing the act in any other way. The synchronization of body mind and spirit are equally important here during each act.
Maturity this is the ultimate limit that the above two practices arrives at to fructify the end result of any sadhana. The goal of the practitioner is achieved faster if used in the direction of the multitude for the benefit of society or guiding the aspirants in the similar path, conversely if used only for the individuals benefit the effect is minimized or not fruitful. This can be reached only in time and is an automatic process linked with stage of purification & perfection, but is very distinct. Observable in the practitioner as a glow of purity and light of wisdom radiating from the source of the individuals soul. This can be noticeable very easily by those who are possessing the same. Directed at anything of desire, the achiever of this can now manifest it.
Faith is belief with devotion in anything without doubt or duality, it is that which leads the aspirant towards development of single pointed thought process that is very essential to understand that which we want to gain an insight into.

As feelings and thoughts rise in the mind they tend to attach themselves to either memory, objects or subjects, remind our selves that there is no difference in the actual energy, everything appears different due to the interaction with each other.
Love is the pure form of feelings without differentiating it with different sense organs is the best way of meditating, in order to achieve single point state. Feel it as flowing through our body, this makes us the source and all the consciousness becomes one, The main effort during this stage is to stop the urge to attach with
