Brahmajnana must conform to the nature of Brahman.
It is not possible to know the whole of Brahman for it is beyond any man's capacity at best one can relate partially to one or some of his nature that to in similarity only. Four types of meditation through which one can relate to brahmajnana.
Sampad upasana: This is an imaginary identification between two dissimilar objects with some similar attributes for eg. mind has endless modifications and the visvedevas are innumerable on the basis of this resembalance the mind is contemplated upon as the visvedevas the result the upasaka meditator attains infinite worlds.
In ancient India meditation was a subject of deep study, research and experiment. The followers of the Samkhya philosophy developed it into an independent science of mental life. When properly concentrated on an object, the mind undergoes certain changes. These changes are the same for a particular degree of concentration whatever be the object chosen. In other words, concentration follows certain universal laws. These laws were discovered by the great yogis of ancient India.
Brahmajnana involves sampad upasana because of the similarity of consciousness brahman is merely imagined in the Jiva.
Adhyasa Upasana: the mind is brahman. the alambana is accorded on the jiva and is contemplated as brahman.
Kriyayoga upasana: the meditation is based on some mode of activity. here the two factors are different but are contemplated as one owing to the similarity of action.
Vayu is the great absorber at the time of cosmic dissolution, similarly at the time of sleep all organs of the individual are said to merge in the vital air (prana.) Because of this resemblance in activity prana is contemplated as vayu. similarly jiva is contemplated as brahman because of their causing to grow.
Samskara upasana. In this upamsu sacrifice there is an injunction. that the sacrificer's wife should look at the ghee for its purification, his is a subsidary action to the performance of the sacrifice. The jiva contemplates himself as brahman. such a meditation purifies the agent of the specific ritual.
