Gross Self Targeting Subtle Sounds.
****

“Shabd sookshm hai aur jeeva ka swaroop sthool ho gaya hai. Phir jeeva Shabd mein ekdam kaise lagey? Sthoolta ko dhoor karne ka upaay Satguru bhakti hai, aur jab thak Satguru bhakti durusthi se na banegi, tab thak Shabd mein lagne ka adhikari na hoga.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The Holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}; No. 223, Page 170.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The {mystical and divine} Word {or Sound} is subtle and the form of the living being has become gross. So how can one suddenly get attuned to the Sound? The method to rid oneself of grossness is worship of the Satguru, and till such time as one doesn’t perform the Satguru’s worship perfectly, one will not become fit to get absorbed in the Sound.”

Radhasoami!
