Pearls Of Wisdom

In the physical world, we have only physical sound. Like a bird singing, the musical notes from instruments, the noise from cars and all that, strike the ears physically. In the spiritual world, we don't need all these physical instruments in order to make or to hear the Sound.

It's not that we need to hear the Sound. We need to elevate ourselves to where the Sound is, or where the Light is. The higher the better. It's not in your mind. The soul has to be elevated out of the body, out of the physical world. Sometimes you are still here, you live in this world, you're doing your work, you hear the Sound and see the Light, and you think you're not in the spiritual world. You are, because the soul is not the body.

The soul exists outside of the body, outside of physical bondage, and merges itself into the spiritual world. That's why you can hear the Sound and see the Light. At that time you exist on both levels -- the soul level and the physical level. Most of the time people exist only on the physical level. That's why they don't hear the Sound, they don't see the Light. Normally, we're not physical. That's why we can liberate ourselves out of the physical dimension and then we can hear the spiritual world.
