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.
