The audio clip is part of his response to an email asking Adya to comment on this quote below:
"There is no 'how' here. Just keep in mind the feeling 'I am', merge in it, till your mind and feeling become one. By repeated attempts you will stumble on the right balance of attention and affection and your mind will be firmly established in the thought-feeling 'I am'. Whatever you think, say, or do, this sense of immutable and affectionate being remains as the ever-present background of the mind." ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
"...there is a beyondness but he doesn't really ever describe beyondness. He doesn't define it and I think that was very wise of him. He just says 'stay in the sense of I amness; abide with that and that itself at some point, at any point will take you beyond..." ~ Adyashanti
