Thus Spake The Lord

 

 

 

Repeat Soham ("I am He"), with every breath: "So" when you take in and "ham", when you exhale. "So" means He and "ham" means I, and when you complete the inhalation and exhalation, feel that "So" namely, the Lord, and "ham" namely I (you) are One. Later, after long practice, the idea of He and I as two separate entities will disappear and there will be no more "So" and "ham". Those sounds will be reduced to O and M; that is to say, it will be Om or the Pranava. Repeat that sound afterwards with every breath and that will save you from bondage to birth and death, for it is the contemplation of Pranava recommended in the Vedas. This Soham recitation is a good means of restraining the mind from running away with you. Let the mind be ever attached to the Lord; then, it will not flee as it fancies, towards all directions. That is the meaning of the exhortation of Lord Krishna: "Giving up all other activities, surrender fully to Me." Place the mind at His service; then, He will save you from falling.
