śūnyayā śūnya-bhūto ’sau śūnyākāraḥ pumān bhavet ॥A person who fosters the [subtle] experience/perception of the very beginning and ending of any syllable, sound, or musical note, becomes, by means of the feminine void, empty, open, & spacious, his very form [nothing but] that spaciousness.
Simplified Steps
•
Repeat any sound, such as a vowel or musical note, and pay close attention to the very beginning and end of the sound
•
Notice how the sound seems to emerge out of silence and merge back into silence
•
Little by little, pay more attention to the silence than the sound
•
Become the silence
