Aum

During my sit last night I became aware of a deep sound in my ears. I was perfectly absorbed in a state of intimate meditation. As usual, there was sound in both ears but each ear seemed to produce dissimilar noises. The left ear was a feeble, piercing frequency and the right was a low unfailing hum. Without intent my awareness was brought to the hum in the right ear which appeared to bring the sound away from the ear and into my entire being. As the hum and I became more harmonized, it resonated deeper and deeper within me til it eventually penetrated from the core of my belly. At this point it became very clear that this hum was the sound of Aum. A long chanting aum. A thought produced itself. This is the sound of the soul. During sleep I dreamt of Gurumayi. She was at my work. I was quite puzzled as to why she was there and decided to pay a visit. As I walked into the room our eyes met and she motioned for me to sit before her. I looked around the room and there was nothing in it. It was very bright and the floors were incredibly shiny. There she sat on the only object in the room, a big plush armchair. She was wrapped in my brown chenille throw blanket. We talked for quite some time, about all sorts of things. She appeared so eloquent in my dream, quite elevated and righteous. I viewed her as an image of perfection and was in utter awe just watching and chatting with her. When it was time for her to leave she draped me in the chenille blanket she was wearing and kissed me on the forehead.
