Clearing knots in the mind

The second part is understanding the logic. The third part is reposing in deep meditation and being with yourself. So which is the right company? That which makes you feel light, which makes you feel the problem is very trivial as compared to what you thought. That is no satsang which makes you perceive an exaggerated view of the problem. It is where you can drop what people think about you and be authentic. Usually, people who are in celebration don’t go into the depth, while people who experience silence, don’t usually celebrate. However, satsang is when we value both silence and celebration. The purpose of music is to create silence deep within you and the purpose of silence is to create dynamism in life.

Music is ‘Laya Yoga.’ Laya is dissolving. This is the highest form of Samadhi (unity with the Divine). Sound is a form of energy. Your whole body is made up of atoms. When you sing bhajans, the sound energy vibration gets absorbed into every particle of your body. Just like a microphone absorbs sound and converts it into electricity, the body absorbs the vibrations and converts it into consciousness. If you are sitting and listening to gossip or violent music, then that gets absorbed by your body and does not give a nice feeling. When you hear the Knowledge, or chant with all your heart, that elevates your consciousness.

So, when you sit in satsang your entire body gets soaked in energy and transformation happens. Being with this truth kindles the energy in you and brings up the consciousness because the sound energy very easily penetrates into the mind.
When we are sitting, thinking or talking then every mind thinks differently, no one thinks alike. But when we sing Sanskrit bhajans, then the mind which is so ancient identifies the impressions of all these old bhajans, our consciousness is being united and somewhere deep inside sharing is happening. And the bhajans or mantras make deep impressions in the mind where they remain for a long period.

It is like a brush. Each bristle joined together can clear all the knots in mind.
