Bhagavad Gita – Visual Inspiration

My dear friends, surrendering ourselves to the inner intellect or God means doing nothing—literally doing nothing. I am not speaking metaphorically, nor am I giving an example; I am describing the exact phenomenon and activity. When you are tuned into your inward sound, simply listen. That’s all. Surrender to your head, surrender to your Kutastha. Do not apply any pressure with your nose, mouth, hands, or any part of your body—just leave everything as it is. Do not do anything mentally. Do not do anything physically.

In this effortless surrender, natural synchronization occurs, creating a magnetic field in the head and deep inner harmony. If even a small fraction of ego interferes—manifested as body tension or forced posture—some loop of the nervous system will be overloaded. Neural currents will strike in fragmentation, producing headaches and discomfort. This is a critical insight for serious spiritual travelers: true surrender is non-doing, and only through it does the inner system harmonize fully.

Consciousness is inherently linked with the body and muscular system. When the nervous system is tightly gripping the muscles, synchronization cannot occur. During ego-driven or effortful yoga practices, the raised neural currents are forced through these tight, unsynchronized pathways, resulting in overload—manifesting as headaches or mental tension.

In contrast, in a true surrender state, the nervous system releases its grip on the muscles. Freed from bodily tension, the neural currents no longer clash or overload. Instead, they naturally surrender to the Kutastha (the silent center of consciousness) or to the Almighty. This effortless state allows the nervous-intellectual system to harmonize, leading to deep inner synchronization, calm, and magnetic energy.

When yoga or meditation is practiced in an egoistic manner—bodily-forced or intense effort—it can create problems, even if one is listening to the inward sound:

• Neural currents rise rapidly during these practices.
• These fast-flowing currents are redirected to the head, the main kingdom of nervous communion.
• Because the practice is effortful and forceful (egoistic), synchronization does not occur in the head.
• The fragmented neural currents interact with muscles and the mind, leading to overload, headaches, and disharmony.

True surrender is different:

• It requires no physical effort and no mental effort—simply tuning oneself to the inward sound.
• Maintain a straight spine, but leave the rest of the body and mind relaxed.
• Thoughts may arise, but you don’t give them independence—let them come and go without engaging.
• In this effortless state, the overloaded neural currents are naturally synchronized in the Kutastha, the silent center of consciousness.
• Once synchronization occurs, headaches and tension transform into magnetic energy, creating a pleasant, inward harmony and deeper connection with the internal sound or God.

Surrender-based meditation—whether through Omkara, Omkarnatham, or tuning into the inward sound—naturally guides the practitioner into a state of meditative intoxication, a blissful inner absorption. This happens effortlessly because the nervous system is freed from muscular tension, allowing the neural currents to harmonize in the Kutastha.

In contrast, forceful practices—pressing with the body, head, eyes, or any part of the system—cause tension and overload. The neural currents cannot synchronize, resulting in aches, headaches, and mental strain, blocking the natural meditative flow.

Remember: the key concept to grasp is this—doing nothing physically or mentally is true surrender. Everything else—God, inward sound, meditation—is supportive context. If you try to “do” anything, even slightly, the ego intervenes, and the system fragments. Only in complete non-doing does the nervous system harmonize, and true surrender manifests.
