(19) The method for taking back the spirit to its original source is to ride the sound current
|
29. The method for taking back the spirit to its Supreme Source is first to concentrate at the focus of the eyes, the spirit and mind which are diffused in our body and in a manner tied to external objects by desires and passions, and next to commence its journey homewards by attending to the internal sound, or in other words, by riding the life or sound current which has originally emanated from the Supreme Source.
30. The current which has been instrumental in having brought it down here must naturally be the only true path for its return to the original source, and whoever finds this current is on the path of emancipation. This current which is the spirit and life current, is called in the Radhasoami Faith, Sound or Word or Holy Name.

(20) Testimony of Sound as given by other religions

31. Other extant religions give also distant allusion to this life or sound current; for instance in the Bible, we find, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
The Vedas have also Nam or Word, the Pranayam or Om and so others.
