Soham Meditation; find your own Nature

The power of spirituality is inexplicable and infinite. The institute or individual that cannot obtain this becomes virile.
The power of spirituality can transform an animal into man and man to a divine being.
The paths of spirituality have sprung up to lead man from human state to that of divine. Man tries to understand everything. He has been trying to acquire many types of learning.

However, he has not yet made an effort to find out his real nature. All learning is naught if it cannot help one to realise one's own nature. Knowledge without practical aspect is akin to a lamp in a blind man's hand.

We always should remember that the breath has its own sound.
It sounds with every inhaling SO and with every exhaling HAM, SOHAM. That is the primal sound of the universe, because if we are aware of it without interruption that sound will go on as OM during the night and also in sleep state inside be present.
That is all what it needs to establish continuity in our life and to go beyond the ever changing relative level.
All it needs is to remember.

The attention on the breath notices that the breath gets finer and we watch it getting finer and begin to listen to the sound. So – Ham, light and effortlessly.
Don’t worry about thoughts, whenever you notice that you are in thoughts and not with the breath, we go back to the breath or the mantra Soham.
It doesn’t need to be there always, it cannot be there at all or change form. Thoughts are part of it. Meditation is very effortless. Only if we strain in one way or another, we get headache.
We do it a certain time a day, for example twenty minutes in the morning at waking up, after the time of meditation we stop the process and wait for one or two minutes to open the eyes.
It is more important to do it regularly on a daily basis than to do it a long time. The best is always the same time, but if we are short in time, we can shorten and also count it as meditation.
It has to be easy and pleasant to become a daily practice.
It is very easy. Every child can meditate if we know how.
Never expect anything, don’t evaluate it, just do it.
