Surat Shabd Yoga

Listening to the Dhun, the mind gets stilled, none of the myriad of ways can work this miracle. The yogin practises yogic exercises, the Jnani is immersed in Jnana. The hermit tires himself out in lone solitude, the anchorite does endless austerities. Those who meditate on the mental patterns, they too suffer from a great delusion. Learning and knowledge are of not much avail, for the wise in the end have to rue their wisdom. The Pandit engages in the recitation of the Vedas, but all his sacred lore fails to take him any the nearer to God.

No other means are of any consequence whatever, the only beneficial way is that of Shabd. When a Master of the Sound Current appears on the scene, the disciple too begins to feel the yearning of the new birth. With the practice of Surat Shabd Yoga, the mind stuff gradually gets to sink within itself till nothing remains.
