‘The drama of the world continues. I let it pass, be still and hold
my own’! This is one of the most powerful yogic techniques
developed by Shri Yogendraji to inculcate a spirit of vairagya,
‘letting go’. We traverse life to hold onto all and sundry, from
our material possessions to our thoughts, opinions, likes,
dislikes, grudges, regrets and our insatiable desires.

This simple technique teaches us that life goes by just as the


sounds around us. These sounds represent life, its events,
situations and people who come and go. We understand that
they persist, acknowledge them and allow ourselves to move
on without regret, analysis and judgement.

hands rest on the thighs, the palms and fingers are loose and
facing upwards.

STEPS

1. Close your eyes and passively observe the passing sounds as


they come and fade away. Do not allow yourself to dwell on
any sound but let it go as it fades away. Pick up on the next
sound in the surrounding atmosphere. If there are no sounds
then you can focus on some light instrumental music but no
words as words tend to develop emotions and reactions in
the mind.

2. Do not get affected by any outside sounds in any way.

3. Sit in this manner for 5 to 15 minutes.
