A “still, small voice” incessantly resounds within the cells of the human brain. This is a sharp, hissing sound. This is the sound of a “chirping cricket,” the “hissing of the serpent,” the “Anahat sound.” The Voice of Brahma has ten tonalities that the Theurgist must learn how to listen to. As the bee absorbs itself within the nectar of the flower, likewise, the mind of the student should be absorbed within that sound.

Whosoever wishes to perceive the “Anahat sound,” must empty the mind, must quiet the mind, but not forcedly quiet it; we repeat, quiet.

Let us perceive the difference between a mind that is quiet because it has comprehended that it is useless to think and a mind that is artificially quieted. Understand the difference between a mind that attains a spontaneous, natural silence, and a mind that has been silenced by force, violently.

When the mind is quiet, in profound silence, the student can then inevitably perceive the sound of the cricket: a subtle, sharp, penetrating sound. Moreover, if the soul of the student is absorbed within such a mystical sound, then the doors of mystery open up for him. Consequently, in those moments, rise from the bed instinctively and leave the room; go towards the Temples of the White Lodge, or to any place in the Universe.
