EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS FROM KIRPAL SINGH
CONCERNING MEDITATION AND WITHDRAWAL,
THE SOUND CURRENT AND ATTENTION

[Part 1] Letter #1

Before sitting for Meditation, Pray to the Master-Power overhead. This will give you Impetus and help.

During your spiritual practices, do not wish for one thing or the other, but sit at the door within, watching intently and minutely and do the mental repetition. The rest is for the Master to do.

We are not to have any feeling of anguish, hurry, or clutching when sitting in meditation.

Sit in any easy pose in which you can sit for a longer period with no tension in the body and do not move hands, feet, or eyes, etc. Close your physical eyes without any tension on the eyes or forehead, and fix your inner gaze on the dark veil between and betwixt the two eyebrows mentally, intently and constantly. Do not turn the two physical eyes inward but just close them as when one is going to sleep and gaze into the middle of the darkness (the veil) as if it were lying in front of you. Let your inner gaze remain fixed, without thinking of the body below or of anything outside. You should also not pay any attention to the breathing going on, in the same manner that you do not pay any attention to the breathing during your outer physical pursuits during the day. While having your inner gaze fixed intently and peering minutely into the center of the darkness lying as if in front of you, do repetition of the five Names mentally, but slowly. If you proceed in this manner, your inner vision will open with no physical body consciousness. Morning and evening, devote at least one hour each time in this way. Do it for some time and you will find progress.

Letter #2

When doing spiritual practices, you should sit in one unflinching posture and do mental Simran only, with your inner gaze fixed. Think of nothing else except Simran. At the time of hearing the Sound Current, listen to the Sound only and do not do Simran while hearing the Sound. Master is at your head and He extends help from within. Regarding any guidance and help required from without for removing difficulties in concentration, etc., they will be most gladly given without any hitch or obligation. I will be glad if any brothers become more successful and able to withdraw from the body, see the Lights, etc., and contact the Master consciously within.

Letter #3

This is just like having an effortless effort. You have to become the inner eye itself. Your job is only to see minutely and with a searching eye into the center of the darkness, while repeating the five Names mentally and slowly, and wait. It is for the Master within to give you results more of less according to the background earned as a result of Karmic reactions. We cannot get higher results by clutching. The very anxiety and impatience themselves stand in the way. Your part is to sit at the door behind the eyes, and knock and it shall be opened unto you.
