Don't bother about what it means. Your brain will take care of that by itself. Just let your eardrums respond as they will to all vibrations now in the air. Don't let yourself or your ears be offended by improper or unscheduled sounds. (plane engine roaring) If for example the record is scratchy, okay. You wouldn't object if you were listening to it sitting by a fire of crackling logs. (plane engine roaring) Let 'em ring. It's just a noise. (plane engine roaring) And keep your tongue relaxed, floating easily in the lower jaw. Also stop frowning. Allow the space between your eyes to feel easy and open. (plane engine roaring) And just let the vibrations in the air play with your ears.

Nothing else. The past is a memory. The future, an expectation. Neither past nor future actually exist. There is simply eternal now. So don't seek or expect a result from what you're doing. That wouldn't be true meditation. There's no hurry. Just now you're not going anywhere. Simply be here. Live in the world of sound. Let it play. That's all.

And one of them is the gong. It is a sound that once pleasing and compelling, it absorbs attention, but watch what happens when it fades out.
