You hear

Your inner chattering or thought flow is pure verbalization. Usually the prana - vital life sustaining energy - will come from your navel. By the time it comes to your anahata area, heart area, it will become narrow and by the time it comes to the vishuddhi - the throat area, it will become narrower; it will become like a shaft, a thin shaft. This is the vak, speech-energy where it gets forged, where it gets molded. In this area, the throat region, the prana gets broken into words...and it comes out. That is the way it happens.

For you, because you have worries and samskaras - engraved memories, in the navel centre itself, the prana becomes like an alloyed metal. It is not pure prana because of the samskara sediment in your navel region. It is not like pure gold. Worry is added, so it is 18 carat gold! So any forging that happens in the vak will be only 18 carat jewelry.

If there is no samskara, worry or any disturbance, it will come out as pure 24 carat gold. It will just get molded or forged and it will come out as 24 carat gold jewelry. This corruption level...whether it is 24 carat or 22 carat or 18 carat or 2 carat gold, depends directly on your breath

flow. If it is pure gold coming out and in the throat region, it is pure energy, then you won't even radiate as words; you will radiate as silence; just a silence. But the energy will be flowing out. That is why we say:

Chitram vadataror mooleh vriddha shishya gurur yuva Gurostu maunam vyakhyanam shishyastu chinna samshayaha

(Beneath the banyan tree they sit the disciples, old men, the guru a mere youth! The guru speaks through Silence alone But lo! The disciples' questions dissolve on their own!)

There is neither worry which corrupts the flow, which corrupts the quality of the metal, nor the vak, which is ready to convert the metal into jewelry. Nothing is happening. Just energy is coming out. It gets forged inside your head as what you want to hear! Understand? Now you will understand that Masters do not speak but you hear! The forging itself happens inside your system as to what you want to listen, as what you want to understand.

Paramahamsa
Angkor Wat Visit
July 2007, Angkor Wat, Cambodia

If you are a superficial person you feel I am just talking. If you are a devotee you realize I am doing alchemy. If you are a disciple you know that no one is speaking, this throne is empty, words are coming from somewhere.
