Negotiating Through Silence

Dr Gautam Chatterjee

Maun Sadhana is all about overpowering noise and negotiating through silence for the journey within. There are some thumb rules for this Sadhana. There has to be conscious effort of not to utter and also to minimize body movement which at its own creates sound. Taking the mind away from all the audible sound and try to pin the thought around Ram Bhava, then starts the process of assimilating the thought energy as if one is performing Yagnya and offering all thoughts (chintan) to the sacred altar of fire i.e. Param Guru, then identifying threads of emotions which pose the diversion and deviation. Then one has to emotively assert and assimilate the self to dilute the pricking emotions that haunt. If diversion is consciously not working, then one has to employ intense Ram Naam in an unuttered way until one reaches the state of Ram Bhava that swings within with the sound and moves in the process of smoke meaning spiral upward movement. Thus ends tunnel of gloom and then we realize a sense of melody emitting within in its inaudible form and pitch and percolates as vibration which is physically visible with horpilation of body hair. Here the body gets tranquil effect as nothing etches. From there river of silence flows and unveils all unique experiences of sublimity varying from each individual or even surpassing one’s own earlier realizations. Thus we find negotiating a journey within must have a conscious effort, and at the same time Ram Naam be tooled at different unuttered frequencies to move ahead and be with the self.
