Glory of the Yoga of Inner Sound It is essential to practise bindu dhy ā n, drish t i - yoga or the Yoga of Inner Light before doing n āda d hy ā n (meditation on inner sound) , because with con tinued practice of drish t i yoga (Yoga of Inner Light) the ability to do n ā da dhy ā n is easily gained. The mind gets completely controlled with n ā da dhy ā n. The mind does not merely get controlled, it rather dies down. Sant Charandas Ji has depicted it exquis itely: “Since when I perceived the Divine Sound ricocheting within, all the organs became completely exhausted, the mind got dissolved or died, and all the longings were roasted.” How did this happen? He further elaborates, “ on turning the drisht i (sight ) inwardly (i.e. practising drish i i yoga), and on perceiving the inner sound, the body turned motionless, every pore of it got soaked in divine bliss, and all lethargy, quite naturally, fled away.” It is why Kabir Sahab taught, “Subjugate the mind by find ing the (inner) sound; this precisely is the sahaja (natural) yoga. The True or Unstruck Word is our very essence; this body of ours is otherwise unreal or impermanent . ” Sant Charandas Ji further says, “By meditating on the Word, the practiser becomes t he same as God or Brahman. Doing this way, says Charandas Ji, all obstacles are removed.” In N ādav ind u U panish ad it has been said about the Nā da Dhy ā n that, “Sidelining all worries and all efforts... One should mainly focus on the exploration of nāda. B y doing thus the mind gets dissolved in the nāda. The mind thus absorbed in the nāda does not crave anymore for the sensory objects.” N ā da itself is Brahma. We should absorb our mind in this very n ā da. Adi Shankaracharya has stated in Yogat ā r ā vali: “Lor d Shiva, the propounder of Yoga Shastra, has listed 1,25,000 ways of dissolution of mind. Amongst these nādānusandhāna (meditation on the inner sound) is the best as well as the easiest way. I bow to thee, O nāda! You elevate me on to the highest throne. It is only with your grace that my prāna - vāyu (vital life - air) and my mind get dissolved in the highest echelon of the Supreme Lord. (Therefore,) renouncing all sorts of worries and with an alert & focussed mind..
