Meeting Of Consciousness – In Gita Verse 18.58 If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost.
When Krishna says not hearing me – he means not hearing his words but to become conscious of him means hear your inner sound and not even Krishna’s words. Which is meeting his and your consciousness.
To hear our inner sound I am sharing meditation techniques with you.
Finding Silence in the Centre of Sound:
Close your eyes and feel the whole universe filled with sound. Feel as if every sound is moving toward you and you are the centre. This feeling that you are the centre will give you a very deep peace. The whole universe becomes the circumference and you are the centre, and everything is moving toward you, falling toward you.
The centre is without sound, that is why you can hear sounds – a sound cannot hear another sound. The centre is absolute silence. That is why you can hear sounds entering you, coming to you, penetrating you, encircling you.
If you can find out where the centre is, where is the field in you to where every sound is coming, suddenly sounds will disappear and you will enter into soundlessness. If you can feel a centre where every sound is being heard, there is a sudden transference of consciousness. One moment you will be hearing the whole world filled with sounds, and another moment your awareness will suddenly turn in and you will hear the soundlessness, the centre of life.
Do not start thinking about the sounds – that this is good and that is bad, and this is disturbing and that is very beautiful and harmonious. Simply think of the centre. Just remember that you are the centre and all the sounds are moving toward you – every sound, whatsoever the sort.
Sounds are not heard in the ears, the ears cannot hear them. The ears only do transmission work, and in the transmission they cut out much which is useless for you. They choose, they select, and then those sounds enter you. Now find out within, where your centre is. The ears are not the centre, you are hearing from somewhere deep down. The ears are simply sending you the selected sounds. Where are you? Where is your centre?
As you move deeper into your inner silence and stillness all sounds start having a particular quality, like an echo…as if coming from a distant valley…
This was the first time anyone gave words to that unusual experience anyone had and it helped one to realise that these moments happened when one was in a generally relaxed and unoccupied state of mind, like a natural state of meditation.
What will happen when you feel this inner sound? With the very phenomenon of hearing the inner sound, your thoughts dissolve. Just try it anytime during the day: just pull up the rectum and put your fingers in the ears. Press the ears and pull up the rectum. You will feel that your mind has stopped. It will not be functioning; thoughts will have stopped. That constant flow of thoughts is not there. It is good! And if one goes on doing it whenever there is time, in the day if you can do it for five or six times, within three or four months you will become an expert in it. And then such well-being flows out of it!
And the inner sound, once heard, remains with you. Then you can hear it the whole day. The market is noisy, the road is noisy, the traffic is noisy, but if even in that noise you have heard the inner sound, you will feel the still small voice that goes on inside. And then nothing will disturb you. If you can feel your inner sound, then nothing from the outside can disturb you. You remain silent; whatsoever happens around you makes no difference.
Krishna is saying once you hear the inner sound then all the obstacles and false ego will drop between you and your godliness. With this you will become conscious of Universal self. Which is he, himself.
