rapture that comes and that turns the mind from worldly desires and hrives a
feeling of the presence of the Lord and keeps it immersed in the love of the
Lord.
a Bhartari, what you have listened is that the Name nectar gives ecstasy
but don't you ever think that it is just like the exhilaration of the liquor.
You are seeker of the sacred nectar. Search for the sacred nectar. Do
away with the habit of worthless drinks. Be sure, the intoxication you get from
liquor is not tranquillity. By stubborn-ness or Hath yoga or by drinking liquor
the happiness that you get is not tranquillity.
One who is in the love of the Lord is in tranquillity. His remembrance of
the Lord is incessant.
Bhartari: What about the mystic music? We hear a lovely mystic music
after a little drink.
Guru: Dear yogi, how do you call it mystic? The sound that you hear
when you press your ears increases ifyou eat dry fruits, etc, or you eat opium
or drink liquor. This is a natural phYSical phenomenon.
Bhartari (scratched his head): Then? Then?
Guru: Even according to the system ofHath yoga the mystic music knot is
near the heart. When a yOhri reaches that stage then he listens to the mystic
music. The practitioners of Hath yoga call it mystic music. What you listen by
plughring the ears or by drinking, that anybody can listen, even a criminal or a
drunkard or a stupid person. The mystic music can be heard by a practitioner
of Hath yoga or by a person who is in the recitation of Name when he
reaches the tenth door. The practice for mystic music is also Name.
Bhartari: You have awakened me from a slumber.
Guru: a dear yOhri, everything has its own characteristics. Those who
experience the mystic music do not live in anXiety and fear. They have a
sensation of the Lord in them. Well, you are a practitioner ofHath yoga. You
must know that anxiety and fear cause illness and suffering. So, whoever has
experienced the mystic music should be without any illness or suffering. Now,
you see by pressing fingers to the ears or by putting plugs in the ears or by
drinking liquor and opium, whether they are out of anxiety and fear.
Then it is an attitude ofthe person who experiences the mystic music that
his five vices i.e. sex, desire, anger, hJTeed and pride are controlled.
Now, you see in your followers and other practitioners whether these
characteristics are visible.
Bhartari: Everybody says that after drinking we listen. But no one has
control over passions despite the Hath yoga practices that they are doing for
control of passions. More than other vices anger is on the top.
