inner voice

[Guest guest]

I've had an interesting development in my sadhana, which I was hoping

I could get some feedback on. Recently, I was able to take atma-vicara

to a stage where my "inner voice" (I don't know what else to call it,

perhaps someone else does?) disappeared, and this voice has not

reappeared since. I don't know how it is with other people, but my

"inner voice" was always going on non-stop, and now it seems to have

stopped totally and for good. Can anyone tell me if this qualifies as

achieving "mouna" or silence? I notice that even though the "inner

voice" has stopped, I still have quite a few images of memories flitting

through my mind; does this mean that total mouna has not been achieved?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

Sincerely,
