Resonance of the Atma
The universe is a resonant sound, and that resonance is Brahman. Beyond earthly noise, space holds a harmonious sound that fills the body with energy. We can only experience this resonance deeply through meditation and the astral body. Scientists record sounds like from the Sun, which is the sound Oṁ. Beyond are many suns; great yogīs may travel far but the ultimate sound is Ātmā, a pure, formless existence that is Parameśvara. Experiencing this requires years of meditation, self-enquiry, and purification of body and subtle body. When the subtle body travels far, one encounters many other souls or jīvas, which can be unpleasant or divine, with no place to run. Good deeds, peace, and the guiding sound provide light and protection from negative forces. Liberation is not earned from minor good deeds in one life but requires accumulating good karma over many lives through any positive path without judgment. The human life is a chance to earn this karma to proceed toward Brahman, where one dissolves and becomes one with the universe, achieving immortal, pure oneness.
"Sound resonates throughout the entire universe. As far as you go into space, you will hear beautiful sounds."
"It is not the work of one day, one month, ten years, or twenty years. It is years and years of work."
