It is more usually in reference to the student listening to the teacher in satsang but it generally spans into the deep listening into anything, everything. It is this practice that first taught me to go out of body via merging with sound. The gardener with the leaf blower outside, planes flying overhead, the near ridiculous cacophony coming from the multiple hundreds of black and other type birds that all nested on the phone wires going over my backyard ( in the years I was first beginning to go out ). Rather than try to cut myself off from the sounds I opened myself up to them—welcomed them in—let them spread through the entirety of my field until I was the sound—-until I was experiencing myself as fast sound vibration. And I would shift -delightfully into multiple fields.
