Lack of confidence in naad

There is a setback in meditation practice which is having a lack of full confidence in naad sound vibration. This happens because naad is usually heard in its audio frequency without any visuals, without mental video.

Humanity is sensually possessed and color-bound. Any meditation which is devoid of color becomes for the most part unwanted, full of boredom.

The plain truth is that a spiritual objective which is abstract and is devoid of a variety of sensual experiences, will be dropped sooner or later.

However if you are really serious, then you must contend with that lack of visual mental contact in meditation so as to reach ultimate success.

Naad sound should be treated just as it was a dearly lost beloved. Then in time it will lead to supernatural perception which has spiritual sense utility.

From Manish on LinkedIn:

I am not bothering. I am also having some confusion.

I am having too much situations to handle in my surroundings (personal and official). All are very tough! I don't know what wrong I am doing in my practice.

It’s like a force who is telling me to stop and lost the faith.

MiBeloved's Response:

As a grihasta a certain amount of isolation is required, otherwise your life will be eaten up with family and other social karmas, which lead only to one place, which is taking another body again under those sordid influences.

Budget your time so that there is a set period for sadhana, where those concerns do not bite into that and eat part of that time.

Something along the lines of what Jesus Christ, Lord that he is, said:

Give unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's

And unto God, the things that are God's

If there is no clear cut distinction between dharmic concerns and the effort for spiritual freedom, then it will be like a subjee, in which everything is mixed up and you lose track of your spiritual progress.

Notice the four objectives of human existence:

artha

kama

dharma

moksha

Those who feel that dharma is moksha are not on the path and are a group of confused entities.

Keep it sorted. Dharma has its value undoubtedly but it is not moksha. Its perfect performance even will never result in moksha, because it is designed for social administration in relation to material bodies.

Good luck! I am confident that you can do this. But will you?

In the ghetto, we talk about this in this way:

artha – making a dollar

kama – making love

dharma – behaving like a gentleman

moksha – not giving a damn about the other three features
