Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has spoken many times on the breathing process - Soham - which He advises to transform into a meditation. Here are some excerpts reading which, the aspirant will be inspired to take up the practice of Soham meditation. ---------- At birth, you cry, ‘koham, koham,’ which means ‘who am I? Who am I?’ You should not die with the same question on your lips. When you die, you should be able to assert cheerfully, ‘Soham,’ meaning ‘I am God.’ Finding out the answer for the question, ‘Who am I?’ is true liberation As you inhale, you make the sound so, and when you exhale, you utter the sound ham. Together Soham means, “I am That,” which means you are God. When you go on repeating, Soham Soham, where is the need for any sadhana? God is present in man in his breath. When you breathe, where does the breath come from? It comes from within. The breath itself is your God. What is its form? It is present in man in the form of Soham, which reveals your divine identity. ‘So’ means ‘that’, ‘Ham’ means ‘I’. Therefore ‘Soham’, means ‘that I am’. ‘That’ refers to God who is present in man in the form of love. -----------
