"If you try and still the mind,
it will be the mind
trying to still the mind.
Rather become aware
of the mind.
Become aware
of the flow of thoughts.
Not to define the thought
or relate to the thought.
But to impersonally
be aware of the thought arising
and dissapperearing
without any attachment
or aversion to it.
In witnessing the thoughts,
they will become more subtle.
First the thoughts
will become impersonal.
You will experience visions
and dreamlike states
that have nothing
to do with you or your personal life.
At this stage of witnessing
you are free
from individual identification
and there is deep peace.
Continue to witness
the flow of thoughts
and you will begin to experience
the thoughts as movements
of energy that arise and burn away.
And in witnessing
this movement of energy,
thoughts need not ever
fully manifest as a thought.
They become more
and more subtle
until they are no more.
In this way,
the mind may be stilled.
But still, it should not
be a goal to still the mind.
You will drive yourself nuts
trying to still the mind.
It is through witnessing
that there is freedom.
There is no iota in the universe,which has no god in it,even the demons have god in them they just have to realize it.With faith and devotion even a stone can turn into a gold,then what about Human,who are superior among all living beings.

Mandukya Upanishad we find this beautiful passage: “The body is the bow, Om is an the arrow, the arrow’s tip is the focused mind, and the ultimate Mystery is the target.” Thus, meditating on Om is used to guide one to discovering the higher Self, and the true nature of the universe.
How to Pronounce OM
It is very important when repeating Om to pronounce the "O" sound correctly. In Sanskrit, the sound "O" is a diphthong-- a subtle speech sound that begins with one vowel and changes to another vowel within the same syllable. This “O” sound begins with an “A” sound as in “law” and ends with a “U” sound as in “put.” When these two vowel sounds are combined in this diphthong, it produces a single, pure vowel sound. Thus, when you pronounce Om it should sound like “home” without the beginning “h” sound. When pronouncing Om the sound should emanate from the navel, with a deep and harmonious vibration, and gradually rises upwards to resonate in the nostrils.
