Navel centre. ''Manipura'' - governs the larger vital. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/22/planes-and-parts-of-the-being-xiii#p10</ref>

As far as it is necessary to work in the subconscious for that, the Name must be effective there. Repetition of the name. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/mantra-and-japa?#p24</ref> ==Navel Centre== The Navel centre (CHANGE OF''Nābhipadma'')commanding the larger life-forces and passions and larger desire-movements is the main seat of the centralised vital consciousness (dynamic centre) which ranges from the heart level (emotional) to the centre below the navel (lower vital, sensational desire centre). <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-on-the-subtle-physical-vital-and-mental-planes?#p16</ref><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-system-of-the-chakras?#p20</ref> The navel is the vital centre in the physical body but the natural seat of the vital is in the vital sheath of the subtle body, which sheath it pervades; but for action through the gross body it is centred at the navel and below it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-system-of-the-chakras?#p74</ref> ==Nerves== The physical nerves are part of the material body, but they are extended into subtle nerves in the subtle body and there is a connection between the two. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-physical-consciousness#p37</ref> The nerves are distributed all over the body—but the vital physical action is concentrated in its origin between the Muladhara and the centre just above it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-physical-consciousness#p40</ref>
==Nididhyāsana==
Fixing in concentration. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-status-of-knowledge#p15</ref> Fixed contemplation, the absorbed dwelling of the mind on its object. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-object-of-knowledge#p3</ref>
==NiyamaNigraha== Regulating moral habits. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/01/rajayoga#p5</ref> The ''Niyamas'' are a discipline of the mind by regular practices of which the highest is meditation on the divine Being, and their object is to create a sattwic calm, purity and preparation for concentration upon which the secure pursuance of the rest of the Yoga can be founded. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/rajayoga#p5</ref>
==Nāḍī==Repressive contraction of the nature; <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/25/the-spiritual-aim-and-life#p8</ref>
The subtle nervous organisation ''Nigraha'' (coercion and suppression) is a violence done to the nature by the will, which in the end depresses the natural powers of the psychic bodybeing. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2319/rajayoga?#p2</ref> Nerve-channels. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/hathayoga#p11</ref> Nāḍīthe-śuddhi or nerve-purification. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/01/a-systemdeterminism-of-national-educationnature?#p27p10</ref>
==Navel Centre==''Nigraha'' means holding down the movement, but a movement merely held down is only suspended—it is better to reject and dismiss, detaching yourself from it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/desire#p66</ref>
The Navel centre difference between suppression (Nābhipadma''nigraha'') commanding the larger life-forces and passions and larger desireself-movements control (''saṁyama'') is that one says, “I cannot help desiring but I will not satisfy my desire”, while the main seat of other says, “I refuse the centralised vital consciousness (dynamic centre) which ranges from desire as well as the heart level (emotional) to the centre below satisfaction of the navel (lower vital, sensational desire centre)desire”. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3031/experiences-on-the-subtle-physical-vital-and-mental-planes?#p16</ref><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-system-of-the-chakras?desire#p20p65</ref>
The navel difference between ''nigraha'' and ''saṁyama'' is that in the vital centre in first process there is a violent struggle to put down, coerce and, if possible, crush the physical body but tendency, the natural seat reality of the vital which is not questioned, but in the vital sheath second process it is envisaged as a dead or dying force, its occasional return marked with disgust, then with impatience, finally with indifference as a mere ghost, vestige or faint echo of the subtle body, that which sheath it pervades; was once real but for action through the gross body it is centred at the navel and below itnow void of significance. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2813/the-systemprocess-of-the-chakras?evolution#p74p1</ref>
==NIGHTNirvana==
==Nistha==''Nirvana'' or ''Moksha'' is a liberated condition of the being, not a world—it is a withdrawal from the worlds and the manifestation. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/rebirth#p25</ref> Nirvana is the cessation of all phenomenal activity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/07/the-soul-and-indias-mission#p7</ref>
Faith ''Nirvana'' is nothing but the peace and freedom of the Spirit which can exist in itself, be there world or no world, world-order or world-disorder. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/1829/kena-upanishadthe-anadwaita-incompleteof-commentary?shankaracharya#p8p24</ref>. Concentrated will in devotion.
==Nāma''Nirvana'' is extinction of the ego-japa==limitations, but not of all possibility of manifestation, since it can be possessed even in the body. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/17/the-worlds-surya#p9</ref>
The name In orthodox Buddhism it does mean a disintegration, not of the soul—for that does not exist—but of a mental compound or stream of associations or ''saṁskāras'' which we mistake for ourself. In illusionist Vedanta it means not a disintegration but a disappearance of a false and unreal individual self into the one real self or Brahman; it is the idea and experience of individuality that so disappears and ceases,—we may say a false light that is extinguished (''nirvāṇa'') in the Divine true Light. In spiritual experience it is usually called sometimes the loss of all sense of individuality in a boundless cosmic consciousness; what was the individual remains only as a centre or a channel for protectionthe flow of a cosmic consciousness and a cosmic force and action. Or it may be the experience of the loss of individuality in a transcendent being and consciousness in which the sense of cosmos as well as the individual disappears. Or again, for adorationit may be in a transcendence which is aware of and supports the cosmic action. But what do we mean by the individual? What we usually call by that name is a natural ego, for increase a device of bhaktiNature which holds together her action in the mind and body. This ego has to be extinguished, for otherwise there is no complete liberation possible; but the individual self or soul is not this ego. The individual soul is the spiritual being which is sometimes described as an eternal portion of the Divine but can also be described as the Divine himself supporting his manifestation as the Many. This is the opening up true spiritual individual which appears in its complete truth when we get rid of the inner consciousnessego and our false separative sense of individuality, for realise our oneness with the realisation of transcendent and cosmic Divine and with all beings. It is this which makes possible the Divine in that aspectLife. As far as ''Nirvana'' is a step towards it ; the disappearance of the false separative individuality is a necessary to work condition for our realising and living in the subconscious for thatour true eternal being, living divinely in the Name must be effective thereDivine. Repetition of But this we can do in the nameworld and in life. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/mantraa-andrealistic-japa?adwaita#p24p14</ref>
==NECESSITIES==In Integral Yoga the ''Nirvana'' is the beginning of the higher Truth, as it is the passage from the Ignorance to the higher Truth. The Ignorance has to be extinguished in order that the Truth may manifest. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/jainism-and-buddhism#p15</ref>
