For many people who begin meditating on inner Light and Sound, the process can sometimes feel challenging. One of the biggest obstacles in this form of meditation is letting go of the mind—the mental mechanism that is often seen as a barrier to deep spiritual experiences. Learning to distinguish and release the mind, while also connecting to your inner essence, is a crucial aspect of spiritual growth.

The mind is composed of two parts: the higher mind and the lower mind.

• The higher mind is often associated with universal principles, wisdom and spiritual intuition. In some spiritual traditions, the higher mind is even referred to as the “seat of the soul” because it forms the bridge between the soul and personal consciousness. The higher mind represents deep intuition, ethical insight and the ability to comprehend abstract ideas that transcend daily reality. This dimension of the mind helps us integrate and understand spiritual insights.
• The lower mind, on the other hand, is tied to thoughts, emotions and personal desires. This aspect of the mind is often saturated with the ego and personality. The lower mind plays a crucial role in daily functioning, but it can also be a source of distraction, especially during meditation. Thoughts and feelings originating from the lower mind can create noise, preventing us from being fully present in meditation.

Letting go of the lower mind is one of the biggest hurdles on the path to spiritual depth. Many people who meditate experience moments of silence and unity, but they struggle to find lasting balance between the higher and lower mind.

Although the higher mind is often associated with the soul, many spiritual traditions suggest that there are two dimensions beyond the higher mind: Buddhi and Atman.

• Buddhi is seen as the higher intellect or spiritual consciousness. It is the capacity to go beyond reason and logic and to directly experience universal truth. Buddhi helps us discern between what is temporary and what is eternal, allowing us to see through the illusions of the ego.
• Atman is considered the deepest core of our being, our true self. It is the spark of divine consciousness present within everyone. Atman is pure awareness, unaffected by thoughts, feelings or physical experiences. This is the ultimate goal of spiritual growth: awakening to the realization of the Atman, the true self.

The challenge is to transcend both the lower and higher mind and establish a direct connection with these higher dimensions of consciousness.

Many people who meditate struggle to connect with their higher soul. They may experience moments of stillness, peace and even unity, but it can be challenging to sustain this level of awareness. This is because the mind—with all its thoughts and emotions—constantly tries to pull attention back to itself.

While experiencing silence and unity during meditation is an important step, it’s equally crucial to find a balance between the world of the mind and higher spiritual dimensions. This balance ensures that not only in meditation but also in everyday life, one can experience a sense of peace and connection.

A powerful way to deepen the connection with inner Light and Sound is through the use of the mantra TEK RAA SEE. This mantra helps calm the mind, especially the lower mind, creating a space of silence in which the higher soul can be more easily accessed.

By regularly repeating the mantra, the mind becomes “grounded” and can tune into the subtle vibrations of the inner Light and Sound. Repeating the mantra not only brings peace and stability to meditation but also helps ground you in the present moment. Grounding is essential because it prevents you from being entangled in the tendencies of the lower mind, such as restlessness, doubt and distraction.

One of the most important keys to successful meditation is consistency. Regular practice of meditation, combined with the use of the mantra TEK RAA SEE, can gradually train the mind to become quieter and calmer. This allows the connection with the inner Light and Sound to become deeper and more stable.

Meditation should be viewed as a daily practice, much like physical health requires regular care. By dedicating time to meditation every day, you can train the mind step by step, learning to control it and experience a deeper connection with your inner essence.

An affirmation can help strengthen your intention for spiritual growth and support the energy of your meditation practice. Here’s a powerful affirmation you can use:

“I am in harmony with my inner Light and Sound. My mind is still and grounded, and I open myself to the deep wisdom of my higher soul. Each day, I feel more connected, peaceful and united.”

By repeating this affirmation regularly, you remind yourself that your spiritual journey is a process of continuous growth and that finding balance and connection happens step by step.

Meditation on inner Light and Sound can bring about deep transformation, but it requires patience, disciplineand regular practice. Letting go of the mind, especially the lower mind, is a crucial step in this process. By using the mantra TEK RAA SEE and committing to regular meditation, you’ll find that you come into deeper contact with the silence and unity of your higher soul.

Stay consistent in your practice and remember that the journey to spiritual fulfillment is a gradual process. Through patience and dedication, you will reach deeper levels of consciousness and come closer to realizing your true self.
