While, meditation can take the consciousness beyond conscious,
sub conscious and unconscious states to super consciousness, the
question is how can one achieve that?
It can be achieved through meditation and the first step in the

of your eyes, nose, ears, mouth and touch, as follows: * Eyes -
fix your gaze upon the selected object, * Mouth - recite a
mantra or sloka aloud, * Ears - listen to the mantra, as you say
it, or put on an audiotape of the mantra. * Furthermore, empty
the mind of all thoughts, and do not think of anything else,
only concentrate on the selected object as part of the mediation
process.
You can select any object to concentrate upon, the only
requirement being that it must impart tranquility and serenity
to the mind. For instance, you may select a picture of a
favourite deity and while concentrating on it, recite or listen
to a mantra dedicated to that particular deity. However, to
achieve success, one must ensure that the mind is only filled
