Question: So if I just allow the thoughts and the sounds then they disappear?

Babaji:

Yes, if your concentration is here, then they will disappear. Sometimes they will try to disturb. In the epic of Mahabharata teachers taught concentration for every work in this world. The archery teacher when he taught the archery, he set the target and asked every student to look into it. A parrot sat on the tree top and he said, "You have to chop off its throat." He asks each student what do they see. The first student says, "A beautiful sky and a tree and a parrot." He says, "Your concentration is not good.” So then he asks another student who says, "I can see the tree and the parrot only." He tells the student, "You are not yet complete." The next one says, "I can see the parrot." Finally Arjuna comes and aims at the target and says, "I can only see the throat of the parrot.” So he tells him, "Shoot the arrow. Your concentration is perfect." That is how you practice the concentration in meditation. Then all such sounds automatically vanish.
