Naad as Reference
On January 1, 2023, Yogeshwarananda said that I should again stress the importance of naad absorption in meditation. He claims that naad will convert into the reference, the steady anchor during deeper meditative states.
His situation was that when he used a physical body, he would sometimes steady the mind of a student. This allowed some adherents to develop confidence in the process and to learn how to keep the mind from its innate habit which is to drift from one topic of interest to another.
Even if a guru helps at some stage with the mental instability which is natural, still the student must endeavor or bring the mind into a stability, where steady focus on an objective can be attained. The last reference which is natural is the naad sound vibration which is heard in the head of the subtle body.
One should make the listening to naad and the hearing of it, to be the objective. Later when naad becomes the addiction of the mind, then naad can be used as its stable focus. When that is attained one should from the link to naad or from being in the naad influence energy, focus on the objective while keeping naad as the underbasis, the reference which is maintained.

What more to say about Naad, it is the ultimate gateway, It is the most benevolent source of energy to the InSelf Yogi,It provides sustainability and illuminates the path and endeavors,It is also the generous and forgiving beginning as indicated above, As well as the end, at the later and final stage, on the subtle side,Naad, the forevermore compassionate companion of the CoreSelf!
