Hamkarena bahiryati sakarena vishet punah; Hamsahamsetyamuma mantram jivo japati sarvada.
Gheranda Samhita (5.83)
Meaning: The breath of every person in entering makes the sound of "sah" and in coming out, that of "ham." These two sounds make So'ham ["That am I"] or Hamsa ["I am that"]. Throughout a day and a night there are twenty-one thousand and six hundred such respirations. Every living being performs this japa unconsciously, but constantly. This is called Ajapa Gayatri.

Even before (or after) the regular practice (of Hamsa Yoga), the reflection of the Soham, sound (produced by the breaths) should be continuously felt while walking, sitting or even sleeping. This leads to ultimate success. This Soham Mantra is also known as Hamsa.

Have you seen a deer in the forest—how alert he looks, how watchfully he walks? Have you seen a bird sitting on the tree—how intelligently he goes on watching what is happening all around? You move toward the bird—there is a certain space he allows. Beyond that, one step more, and he flies away. He has a certain alertness about his territory. If somebody enters into that territory, then it is dangerous. If you look around, you will be surprised: man seems to be the most asleep animal on the earth.

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together.

I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own.

If one watches whence the notion of ‘I’ springs, the mind will get absorbed into that. That is tapas.

In the waking state, between the two eyes is manifesting the Hamsa alone, (the Paramatman, unbroken in the interior). The 'Sa' (the Khechari Bija) is known as the Khechari, (that which moves in the Avyakta ether of the heart of all beings, reversing its subtle form turned outwards) and hence has been conclusively taken to indicate the Tvam-padartha, (the "Thou-substance", the innermost consciousness).

As one thinks so one becomes. If a man thinks all the time about his faults and sins he would become sinful. Similarly the constant thought about woman, man, meditation or Guru would make him womanish, manly, meditative or the Guru — respectively. This is quite natural because a person gets transformed into the likeness of the object on which he constantly ponders, by absorbing its qualities.
Swami Muktananda on Soham in his letter to Franklin Jones (in 1968).

What changes is not real, what is real does not change. Now, what is it in you that does not change? As long as there is food, there is body and mind. When the food is stopped, the body dies and the mind dissolves. But does the observer perish? (...) Instead of searching for what you do not have, find out what is it that you have never lost. (...) Be aware of being conscious and seek the source of consciousness. That is all.

When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.

After the camphor burns away no residue is left. The mind is the camphor; when it has resolved itself into the Self without leaving even the slightest trace behind, it is Realisation of the Self.

If you want to know the Eternal, you will not find him in the Vedas, the shastras or in the Koran, in the temples or in the mosques. Penance, pilgrimage, breath-control, or living on nothing but neem leaves, will not lead you to him. You can find him only in your breath. (Soham: "So" when taking in and "Ham" when giving out the breath).
Sant Kabir on Soham
