HOW TO REACH AYIN [#18743]

In “Getting To Know Your Soul” the Rav explains that a person can identify his main element by accessing the spiritual element of “ayin” (nothingness) in the soul, which reached through inner silence in the soul. Since this is a book that is geared towards most people (as opposed to the Rav’s other sefarim which describe how to reach “ayin”, such as in “Bilvavi” Part 7 and sefer Da Es Nishmatecha), I want to know: What is the simplest way which is attainable for most people, to reach the place of “ayin” in the soul? I was thinking that the way to reach it is through listening to a niggun that calms the soul, or by smelling something pleasant or by tasting something pleasant, as the Rav describes in the “Inner Silence” series. But I was wondering if these ways will be enough to reach “ayin”, being that “ayin” is a very deep point in the soul.

The deeper of an inner silence that one reaches in the soul, to that extent, will one touch upon the point of “ayin” in the soul. That is why listening to a calming niggun or smelling something pleasant can possibly help a person reach inner silence in the soul.
However, usually, if a person hasn’t yet given a balance to his worst character trait and he hasn’t yet calmed his desires, he will not be able to reach a deep and subtle inner silence, and thus he won’t be able to penetrate into the place of “ayin” in the soul.
