Vijñānabhagavat describes a fixed experiential sequence of mist-like, smoke-like, sun-like, fire-like, wind-like, firefly-like, lightning-like, crystal-like and moon-like forms of consciousness. They appear gradually as preliminary forms of Brahman's revelation; alternatively, they indicate the emergence of yoga directed towards Brahman and defined by the restraint of the cittavṛttis.
