Value of Naad Sound

This morning I got some assistance with the present practice of isolating and realizing the dimension of the core-self all by itself (kaivalyam) without even the sense of identity all-surrounding energy which encloses it on every side. In this practice, one has to first have the kundalini bashed in so that it no longer has its muladhara base chakra survival premise going. One must also have become habituated and enriched by hearing naad sound for hours in many years of meditation sessions.

Naad sound listening is the final factor which frees the core self from adhering to the frontal part of the subtle head which is dominated by the operations of the buddhi intellect orb (cittavritti). In retrospect I do not see how any other means can be effective in this except for naad sound listening.

There is much loneliness in yoga practice. It is not a group thing. Each yogi has to get inside the cubby of the individual mind and do the needful as advised by a capable yoga-guru. This cannot be practiced in a group meditation session. In fact such a group practice misses the boat entirely.

When there is sufficient detachment from the buddhi intellect orb, then the next step is to develop detachment from the sense of identity but since that adheres to the core self, the internalization required is like if you are the final in an onion and the first layer around you was developed with super-glue.

Separating yourself from it won’t be easy.

In the meditation with the help of Srila Yogesh, it felt like the core-self was a drop of liquid honey. Then there was just the core-self as light. Then there was light all around in the subtle head.

Then Srila Yogesh sent a message which said:

Do not run around. Be this only.

That was a directive to focus on the light of the core-self alone and to extract any interest in anything else.

If you are looking for light in darkness, then if you have a torch in your hand and you do not realize it, your looking will go on for some time. But someone might bring to your attention that there is a torch in your hand and that would relieve you of the searching.
