Naad Kriya with Sense-of-Touch Fold-In

Naad meditation has to do with the sense of hearing which is concerned with the vibrations in space energy. If you ever notice a dog, the creature becomes alert at the slightest difference in noises, so much so that its ears become erect and move this way or that way to register the vibrations which come from any change in the space energy.
If there is silence, total silence, then the dog becomes dissatisfied and disappointed because only if there is change in vibration can it utilize its keen sense of hearing. The dog gets no satisfaction from a no-noise, no-change-in-vibration environment. If that continues for too long, the dog will lie down and sleep. But as soon as it detects a shift again, it will immediately become alert.
Dog are so obsessed with vibrational changes, that if a dog hears a sound which is a one-time interference in the space-time medium, the dog will bark in order to induce someone, or something, to make more sounds, so that it can have a positive identification.
Why does the dog do this? In fact if someone or something does not make additional sounds, then the dog becomes depressed. Its face assumes a disappointing look. It sits or lays down and reflects on what a load of crap that initial sound was because it did not continue to allow full identification.
After sometime when the image of this fades from the mind of the dog, the dog will resume its quiet attitude and either lay down or go somewhere else hoping to catch some more excitement.
Are we humans acting in a similar way?
======================
In naad meditation the primary focus at first is the sound element. The hearing sense seeks that out. It is trained to do so until naad becomes its default meditation pursuit. When the sense of hearing becomes anchored in naad automatically in meditation, and when the student finds itself, as the core-self adhering to naad, no matter what, in mediation, then that is the completion of the first phase of naad meditation. But this is just the beginning of what naad can do for the yogi.
It might take years to master this first phase but it must be completed before one can go on to the higher stages.
There are nodes in naad sound. One should discover these and enter them. If in trying to enter them one is not permitted, then one should stay as close to them as allowed, just the way a planet like the earth remains in orbit around the sun as it is permitted by the resolved gravitational forces.
The hearing sense is the highest sense. As soon as it is dealt with effectively in meditation, as soon as it is trained to feed on naad, then one should tackle the next sense which is the touching sensational capability. This sense is concerned with air while the hearing sense is just concerned with space medium. Hearing is concerned with volume or space. Touching is concerned with surface possibility which is a localized into all sorts of gross and subtle dimensional parameters.
Normally we think that air has no surface or that its surface is imaginary or indistinct, but actually air has surface from any which direction one approaches it.
In naad meditation, as soon as the sense of hearing is efficiently bounded to the naad sound, one should try to discover and then retract the sense of touch. When this is done one will feel as if something has crumpled inwards, as if a balloon which was attached to an air valve became deflated because the air in the expanded balloon was extracted by the valve so that the balloon began to fold inwards towards the valve.
This activity of retraction of the touching sense should continue, until one feels that the touching sense is completely pulled in, that it has folded in on itself into the naad sound.
After this is done repeatedly, one should then research the original application and expansion outwards of this touching sense, where originally when one became manifest in the material world, one assumed a very rudimentary life form like that of a unicellular organism. Then the only senses which were functional were the hearing sense and the touching sense. It was through the touching sense that one first gets some understanding about the limits of one’s psyche. Without that one cannot differentiate where one’s individual psyche begins or ends. Without that one has to assume that one is everything or that one is nothing, either way, but there would be no distinction or clarity as to the confines of one’s localized existence.
This application of the shutdown of the touching sense in naad absorption meditation is a source of direct realization for those who want to understand how they first came to be in material existence.
