Verse 41tantry-ādi-vādya-śabdeṣu dīrgheṣu krama-saṃsthiteḥ ।
ananya-cetāḥ pratyante para-vyoma-vapur bhavet ॥If one’s heart-mind is completely focused on the prolonged sounds of a musical instrument such as a tantrī (a stringed instrument like a tanpūra), through the duration of the phases [of their resonance], at the limit [of the perceptible sound] one’s beautiful form may become that of the [formless] supreme Void.
Simplified Steps
•
Play a recording of a tambura or tanpura, starting it about 10-15 min from the end of the recording
•
While it plays, let the mind become utterly absorbed in the sound, carefully attending to each note and resonance
•
When the sound ends and dies away into pure silence, follow it into that silence
•
Become the silence
