Stages of Trance : Solitude, Silence and Meditation 75
get attached to the person's soul-element. In the fifth cycle the person would enter the state of desirelessness and non-mind, forgiveness and non-violence are born where a person enters bis fifth i.e. the 'throat cycle'. At that time a person proceeds towards the sixth cycle and enters the 'Order cycle'. Indifference is the characteristic of this cycle. And, when a person enters his thousand-lotus, in his cosmos, in his upper world--there occur ‘moksha' (salvation) and ‘nirvana' (attainment of freedom from the cycles of birth after birth). It is there that 'Kaivalya' (onlyoness) comes and kisses the person, and the supreme knowledge embraces bim. To attain this supreme stature the first medium is solitude, the second is silence and the third is meditation. These are the three stages of trance.
You are seated speechless. Looking nice, you are all grownup, but you are looking like a child since you are seated speechless. Why does a child look nice ? Because it is beyond vice and talks less. A two-year old child looks very lovely. A two-day old child would appear even more lovely. That is why I say that all the people here are children because they are seated speechless.
When a child is born, it does not know how to talk. This it learns later on. Silence is our real characteristic. Get immersed in it. Get immersed so much that speech becomes non-existent. Let our relationship with speech be snapped. Why does a person speak? To please others.
Therefore I said that 'solitude' is the first step of trance. Get distanced from others. The next step is 'silence', so that our thoughts become pacified. A man is not honest in speech, but he is honest in silence. Speech can be a lie, but silence is always the truth. All the dishonesty has come with speech. Where a person remains engrossed in himself, there garbage does not find accommodation. The person who tells lies, transfers the garbage of his brain into the brains of others. Would you like if someone dumps garbage in your house? Does it please you if somebody dumps the garbage of his head into your head ?
