steps to place inner peace in things among us and And Quieting Your Mind

 If you are in a village, you will hear roosters crowing, cows screaming, someone chopping wood, or you pulling your chair to the table or someone's voice. Every door and window has its own sound.

Now, what’s so weird here?

Surprisingly, it gives someone an understanding of the environment around them. It gives the feeling of 'home'. The sound is related to the joy of 'going home'. If you ask an eighth-grade science student what the ‘sound range’ that a human hears is, the answer will be 20 to 20,000 hertz, instantly. Do we really hear all the sounds in this range at the same rate?

The higher the range of these sounds, the lower the hearing with age. Let me give you an example.

I maintained the TVs to find a few extra bucks. They were old-fashioned cathode [CRT] type. You know they have a rectangular glass face, just like the new flat TVs we have today. To get the picture from these, the electron beam inside it has to move from left to right. The frequency generated by the electronic circuit required to perform this function is 15,625 Hz. Although I could barely hear this frequency in my youth, I could not hear it now that the wheel of life had gone halfway around.

Nor does a man hear below 20 Hz. If that sounds like that, it's going to be a big hassle. If so, we could hear the sounds of our muscles, the sounds of our hearts, the sounds of our feet on the ground, the sounds of bombs. In fact, noise is another dimension. It can be called the fourth dimension. When you go to a room where your friends are, you can tell who it is without looking at them because of the noise. Even with the rhythm of the sound made by the feet, we are able to tell who that person is.

This ability is maximized, especially for those who are blind.

When we were little there was a blind beggar man called 'Karunaiya' at the Piliyandala bus stand. He was born blind or an 'international warrior'. For some reason, he begs and slowly revolves around himself. Like a radar antenna. He could say the number of any bus coming to the bus stop. "Sir, what's the number on that bus?" When asked a few cents, he quickly said the number on the bus.

Perhaps he was slowly turning to analyze the sound. I am always reminded of Karunaiya when I see the rotating radar antenna installed at Naiwatta for aircraft surveillance at the Katunayake Airport.

Did you know that sound is the first sensory organism that recognizes a human being? The first thing this little creature hears is the sound of its mother's heart. He or she hears it as a lab-dub. Because this sound is repetitive, the baby learns to make a variety of sounds within a few weeks of birth.

It seems that the first sounds that sound like that are often in two parts like ‘ba-ba’, ‘ma-ma’, ‘da-da’, ‘cha-cha’.

That is to say, this organism produces sounds that are parallel to the repetitive sound made by the aforementioned mother's heart.

Sound is involved in everything we do. The door that closes at the end when we go to sleep, the sound of our usual alarm clock when we wake up, .. all of this is connected with what is happening. No matter how many times we hear it, if our name is heard in the distance, we will automatically inquire about it. One way to increase our sensitivity to this sound is to put each type of money, that is, a coin on the ground from a certain height and understand its sound. When you do this several times, you can add new knowledge through those sounds. That is, coins will be recognizable by sound.

There are times when a blind person can even tell which side these coins are falling on.

Although many people died in the Asian tsunami that affected Sri Lanka, it is true that at least one rabbit did not die. Before the tsunami, the aborigines of the Andaman Islands in India climbed the mountains when the tsunami hit. As we progressed in the modern world, they could hear the low-frequency waves created by the tsunami, even though we did not. Or they may have heard that the leaves of the trees were shaking differently that day.

Some people in the world do strange things. They seem to make no sense at first glance. For example, when a coin is tossed and dropped, it is common for both sides of the coin to fall to the ground with the same probability. But on the day of the tsunami, when these types of coins were tossed and dropped, it was reported that more and more of the same side fell. The aforementioned four-legged and Andamanese may have made this kind of personal observation to themselves that day.

I don't know if scientists are testing this energy on animals and how they can get that accurate observation. But if it could be done, if that energy could be obtained through some scientific device or even by man, it would have saved many lives. This is the wonder of sound.

You see a blind man carrying something like a white cane. He taps it on the ground or an adjacent object and recognizes what it is. Rarely can someone go into a room and make a noise and tell exactly the length and width of that room. The expert in this method is the bat. By making high-frequency sounds, bats can recognize objects up to the size of a hair.

The human ear is also a wonderful device. Although the mechanism inside the ear is not more than an inch thick, it has been found that it can detect 300,000-400,000 different types of sound. Of course it is not a miracle of the ear, but a miracle of the human brain that has evolved over millions of years. Ear
