Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Recognize all noise as the sound of your mantra. - Puneet Gulati Thursday, April 27, 2006 12:44 AM Closing ears while chanting Greetings to All! I am a newbie and needs guidance on a very basic step. I live near a very busy market place. So, there is no quite ever. Which is making concentrating even on the mantra sometime very difficult. To get ride of the noise, can I put some cotton or ear buds in my ears while chanting? Please note, I am not doing meditation, but mantra chanting. Please HELP !!!!!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I would have no problems doing that. But, is Dhyan neccesary while chanting? I read somewhere that in Tantra, there's no need for concentration. Just chanting mantra with correct pronunciation is enough. I thought focusing on the deity is also an important factor for the success of any sadhana. If the above is not correct, then, noise is a big NO NO for any mantra chanting. I am very confused. Please someone help!!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Dearest Puneet, I hope this helps. The noise is not out-side, it is within you. Accept the noise as it is knowing this is the way the Divine wants you to practice. Everything is perfect. Let the noise be the silence, your cloak.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Bhai, just do the best you can. You are on a path, and are being guided, stop worrying about the results, just do the best you can. Relax... when one gets onto a bi-cycle for the first time, one tends to wobble .... come on, step by step, noise is given by Divinity, your divinity..enjoy...think different Puneet Gulati <puneetgulati05 > wrote: I would have no problems doing that.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 This is why you need dikshah and guru.
