Look Not in the Five Directions, Look Instead Ahead in the Centre of the Sixth!
A Poem by Maharshi Mehi Paramhans Ji Maharaj
Discard looking in any of the five directions-downwards, upwards, to the right, left and rear |
And still your sight at a point in the centre of the sixth direction (i.e. in the front). ||1||
Fly ahead in the inner firmament like a bird through the radiant point that appears (as a result of your focused gaze).
Swim upstream from there like a fish, clasping the myriads of sound that are perceived (in that light). ||2||
Thus, assuming styles of both the bird as well as the fish, march on and on, O Mind, an endearing friend that you are!
The mind thus grows indifferent (towards worldly objects) and the soul ascends to perceive the Primordial Udgitha Sound ||3||
Also known as Sfota, Om, Sat Dhvani, Pranava, Unbroken/Incessant Sound etc. Which is reverberating very loudly, hidden in the Domain of Sound. ||4|||
Move ahead from one sound to another till you catch the Quintessential, True Pranava Sound.
Holding onto this Unique Om or Satanam Sound, swim across the ocean of existence. ||5||
