Namaste Brothers and Sisters,
Breath in rhythm or the even distribution of Prana
creates a state of Quiet and Peace. By using a Sakti
mantra like So-Ham, or I am 'He', one can reflect the
mind inwards. For those who aren't familiar it works
like this; So… , on the in breath and Ham… on the out
breath, in rhythm. Pronounced in this case as
So…….Hum, pronounce the M as in Aum
By maintaining this and trying to be conscious of it,
meditating on it, one creates Peace. Which in turn
creates Ahimsa, which is ultimately none other than
the Self. It is somewhat similar to 'Who am I?",
Koham except it is 'I am He', Soham, and one is using
it as a 'natural', mantra. We are 'breathed' 21,600
times a day, and by concentrating on this SoHam mantra
it is possible to experience Divinity in this
lifetime. I try and concentrate on the space between
Ham and the next So, for there is no thought there but
Bliss. The Divinity within, Sakti, Praneaswara !
Even in 'K' practice the Sahasrara is not the end but
it is one step away from the 'Heart Centre'. Albeit a
big step! Here also Sadhana is necessary.
As with normal meditation it is wise to keep an
appointed time, and if you are late 'He', will remind
you! This method goes beyond intellectual
understanding of 'non-duality'. For knowing what a
King is, doesn't make one a King! SoHam takes us
beyond the individual mind beyond words and intellect.
(One gets a better view of the crud on the pond from
below the surface, and one can observe.) For it is
the ego/mind that intellectualises after all. So
Sadhana or Spiritual Practice is advisable for
Realising Moksha or Liberation, otherwise we only have
intellectual realisation.
The whole world has the same breath,( Prana), and if
we all breathed in our Rhythm, and didn't disturb
other's breath, there would be Peace and Ahimsa.
Things done in Silence generate Love, and whatever you
pray for will happen, and one will know things that
one didn't learn, as long as you see all as One! Step
Within!
Love and Sai Ram, Tony.
