Nada is the Sound
Nādarūpa Parabrahma is the formless Supreme Brahman manifest as primordial sound. The first manifestation was sound, the nāda, emerging from endless space. This sound is eternal and within all. The universe cycles from this sound into light, air, fire, water, and then physical forms. Consciousness, or Chetan, is awakened and without desire, unlike human consciousness which is bound by desire. The five sheaths of the body—Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya—contain this consciousness. Prāṇa is the divine life force; when it departs, the body is without energy. True understanding comes from listening within, beyond the five elements. The practice of yoga nidrā leads to a rare state of conscious sleep, connecting to deeper realities.
"The sound is there—nāda. Everything is coming into the sound, and we will go into the sound."
"Prāṇa is God. And what is that prāṇa? Our happiness, our good friend."
