“Let us work on the Black Hole, on the darkness.”
Let us work on the Black Hole, on the darkness. Let Me explain. It is a direct meditation technique. Let Me explain... I will be guiding you into a meditation. You will sit inside a dark cave and meditate. In meditation, you will be sitting inside the dark cave and meditating. You will be meditating as if you are meditating inside the dark cave. You understand? Hmm? You will be meditating as if you are sitting inside a dark cave and meditating. You understand? So darkness covered by darkness. Tamasena tamasavrutaaha: Darkness covered by darkness. There is a beautiful technical term, a Sanskrit term which explains Dark hole in sanskrit. In Vedas, dark hole is, about dark hole there is a mention ‘Tamasena tamasavrutaaha. Antena tamasavrutaaha:’ The darkness was covered by darkness. That is what they call it Black hole.
So, let you totally be covered by darkness. Let you totally disappear into the darkness. Your breathing, movement, everything, let it totally disappear into the darkness. Once if you know how to relax with this darkness, you will not be afraid of death. You will not be afraid of sleep. You will have a deep sleep. Now unconsciously you are afraid of sleep. That is why you continuously get dreams. Let us work on this Black hole, on this darkness. Any doubt? It is actually way to the next layers. Now if we work deeply, tomorrow it will be easy for you to go layer by layer.
Please tie the ribbons.
Devotee: Can You explain the technique?
Swamiji: I will be guiding you. I am explaining in a short form. You will imagine yourself sitting in a cave, dark cave meditating and total darkness. Darkness covered by darkness and you will be totally merged, immersed in the darkness. I will give you the instruction. You need to exhale your thoughts. How to exhale your thoughts? This is a beautiful technique. Not only now, whenever you want to exhale your thoughts, you can practice. Just chant Ooo. Ooo. Let Me show you. Just exhale your, all the air through mouth chanting Ooo. Let Me show you.(Swamiji chants Ooo) Whole air should totally come out through your mouth with the Ookara, with Ooo. Then automatically body will inhale. Don’t bother about the inhaling. Again start exhaling. Do it sincerely with full speed, with full sound. Deep sound and full speed, exhale everything. That will do. That will exhale all your thoughts. Close your eyes.... Start chanting the Oookara. Oooo... Exhale through mouth as deeply as possible. Exhale through mouth as deeply as possible.

Darkness covered by darkness. Meditate on total darkness covered by darkness. Inside the dark cave you are sitting and meditating on darkness covered by darkness, total dark.
