==Navel Centre==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>

==Nistha==''Nigraha'' (coercion and suppression) is a violence done to the nature by the will, which in the end depresses the natural powers of the being. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/19/the-determinism-of-nature?#p10</ref>
Faith ''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/1831/kena-upanishad-an-incomplete-commentary?desire#p8p66</ref>. Concentrated will in devotion.
==NāmaThe difference between suppression (''nigraha'') and self-japa==control (''saṁyama'') is that one says, “I cannot help desiring but I will not satisfy my desire”, while the other says, “I refuse the desire as well as the satisfaction of the desire”. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/desire#p65</ref>
The name of difference between ''nigraha'' and ''saṁyama'' is that in the Divine first process there is usually called in for protectiona violent struggle to put down, for adorationcoerce and, for increase of bhaktiif possible, for the opening up of crush the inner consciousnesstendency, for the realisation reality of which is not questioned, but in the Divine in that aspect. As far as second process it is necessary to work in the subconscious for 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 that, the Name must be effective there. Repetition which was once real but is now void of the namesignificance. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2913/mantrathe-process-andof-japa?evolution#p24p1</ref>
==NECESSITIESNirvana==
==Nigraha==''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>
Repressive contraction ''Nirvana'' is nothing but the peace and freedom of the nature; Spirit which can exist in itself, be there world or no world, world-order or world-disorder. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2529/the-spiritualadwaita-aim-andof-lifeshankaracharya#p8p24</ref>
Nigraha (coercion and suppression) ''Nirvana'' is a violence done to extinction of the nature by the willego-limitations, but not of all possibility of manifestation, which since it can be possessed even in the end depresses the natural powers of the beingbody. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/1917/the-determinism-ofworlds-nature?surya#p10p9</ref>
Nigraha 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 holding down not a disintegration but a disappearance of a false and unreal individual self into the one real self or Brahman; it is the movementidea and experience of individuality that so disappears and ceases, but —we may say a movement merely held down false light that is extinguished (''nirvāṇa'') in the true Light. In spiritual experience it is sometimes the loss of all sense of individuality in a boundless cosmic consciousness; what was the individual remains only suspended—it as a centre or a channel for the 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, it may be in a transcendence which is better 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, a device of Nature which holds together her action in the mind and body. This ego has to reject be extinguished, 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 true spiritual individual which appears in its complete truth when we get rid of the ego and dismissour false separative sense of individuality, detaching yourself from realise our oneness with the transcendent and cosmic Divine and with all beings. It is this which makes possible the Divine Life. ''Nirvana'' is a step towards it; the disappearance of the false separative individuality is a necessary condition for our realising and living in our true eternal being, living divinely in the Divine. But this we can do in the world and in life. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3129/desirea-realistic-adwaita#p66p14</ref>
The difference between suppression (nigraha) and self-control (saṁyama) In Integral Yoga the ''Nirvana'' is that one saysthe beginning of the higher Truth, “I cannot help desiring but I will not satisfy my desire”, while as it is the other says, “I refuse passage from the desire as well as Ignorance to the satisfaction of higher Truth. The Ignorance has to be extinguished in order that the desire”Truth may manifest. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3129/desirejainism-and-buddhism#p65p15</ref>
The difference between nigraha and saṁyama is that in the first process there is a violent struggle to put down, coerce and, if possible, crush the tendency, the reality of which is not questioned, but in the 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 that which was once real but is now void of significance. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/13/the-process-of-evolution#p1</ref>==Nistha==
