HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF YOGA 21 JUNE
VIBRATIONS OF THE SENSES AND SOUL FORCES
During meditation, the devotee's attention first leaves the realm of physical sounds in the material world. Then the attention is caught by the various sounds resulting from the inner activities of the physical body such as the circulation of the blood, the pumping of the heart, the restlessness of the breath. These vibrations become very audible and disturbing when man's attention is fully concentrated within. By deeper meditation, the devotee goes beyond the inner physical sounds; and when he passes through the astral kingdom, he begins to hear the various vibratory sounds of the astral vital forces (sounds like the blowing of conch shells: or round, full, rolling vibrations of musical quality): the bumblebee, flute, harp, gong bel!, sea roar, and astral symphony. Following those sounds, he learns to locate the centers of life and consciousness. Locating the centers, he in time actually sees them. This achievement ordinarily requires years of meditation under the guidance and blessing of an advanced guru. Finally, viewing the centers, and ascending his consciousness through them in the various stages of samadhi, the yogi has solved the mystery of the body; he knows it as a manipulatable form of light vibrations.
