When a plane flies across the sky, it leaves no mark on it, no streak that lasts, no furrow or pot-hole that interferes with further traffic. So too, allow all feelings and emotions to cross your mind, but do not allow them to cause an impression. This can be done through inquiry, and quiet reasoning within oneself, more than by listening to lectures or study of books. Little children are trained to walk, by means of a three-wheeled instrument, a contraption which they hold and push along. “Pranava” is such a contraption, with the three wheels of A, U and M, the Omkaara Tricycle! Holding it, man can learn to use the two feet of Bhakti and Vairagya. If he gives up his hold on the Omkara, he plumps down on the ground helplessly! If he walks on with the help of the Pranava japa, he can certainly realise the glory of the Divine (Brahman), the very substance of the Universe.
