..... There are ten different sounds audible in the region of the eye center — drum, whistle, violin, and so forth including the Bell and the Conch. Eight of these are local but the Bell and the Conch are connected with the higher regions. As the attention is withdrawn from the body and concentration improves, and the eye center is being approached, these sounds begin to be audible. As the mind becomes steady and sticks to the center, it begins to distinguish one sound from the other. In the beginning one listens to whatever sound is audible, but with the improvement in concentration, this gives place to some finer sound. Ultimately one picks up the Bell and rejects others. The Bell will take one as far as the thousandpetalled lotus, and from there one catches the Conch. When doing repetition of Names at the allotted time, daily, please see that the mind does not wander about. The attention should be in the light within and Repetition should be continued without any thought of the body. The body is to be completely vacated by the attention. And during the time given to Repetition, no attempt should be made to catch the Sound — only Repetition of the five Names with attention in the light within. When the concentration is complete, it will appear as if you are separate from the body and the body is a corpse of someone else. The starry sky will appear in time. Fix your attention in the bright star and continue Repetition as before. When the star is approached, it will burst, and the attention will penetrate through it. The starry sky has been crossed. In the same manner the sun and the moon in succession will be reached and crossed by the attention doing Repetition all the time. After crossing the moon region the Masters Radiarit Form will be visible. Fix your attention in that and hand yourself over to the Master. The Repetition takes the attention that far and no further. When listening to the Sound at the allotted time, hear the Sound only, catching the Bell Sound if possible, and, in its absence, any other sound that is audible. At this portion of the time Repetition is not to be done. During any other time besides the regular time for doing the spiritual practice, keep your attention in the Sound Current. This music comes from Sat Lok and reaches us, after penetrating all the regions below it. It is superior to angels in the astral plane. They hanker after it and do not get it. When you have completed your concentration, and the attention has completely vacated the body and gone in and made contact with the Masters Rediant Form, you will hear the Sound Current all the twenty-four hours — awake or asleep. The body will sleep but the soul will remain conscious within. Please do not be afraid of the shackles. There is no such thing for the practitioner of the Word. Your attention is not steady. It does not stick to the eye center but falls down and feels the pressure. Keep your attention up in the eye center. The Sound Current, the Word, the Nam and the Shabd are synonymous. The five Names used in Repetition are the words which can be uttered by tongue or can be repeated mentally. . • Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj; Spiritual Gems #87
