"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Practice Makes Peace Natural

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Mr. K . R. V. Iyer sought more light on nada (sound).

M: He who meditates on it feels it. There are ten kinds of nadas. After the final thundering nada the man gets laya. That is his natural and eternal state. Nada, jiyoti, or enquiry thus take one to the same point. (The former are indirect and the last is direct.)

The mind becomes peaceful for a short while and again emerges fourth. What is to be done?

The peace often gained must be remembered at other times. That peace is your natural and permanent state. By continuous practice it will become natural. That is called the current. That is your true nature. 

Nada, photisms etc. imply existence of triputi (the triads of cogniser, cognition and the congnised). The current resulting from investigation for the Self is shuddha triputi and pure triad - that is to say, undifferentiated triad.
