The Santsatguru of the time alone possesses the key to the secret of the shabd. Soamiji holds that by following the prescribed inner practice (surat shabd yoga) Surat can get attached to Shabd and after passing through several higher regions, it can one day reach its final abode. Shabd and surat both have the same attributes rather surat has an inherent attraction for shabd. The resonance of the sound-current is known as nam (holy name) which resounds in the innerself of all jivas. It is the supreme energy and the prime source of all creation. The etymology of "Surat Shabda Yoga" presents its purpose: the "Union of the Soul with the Essence of the Absolute Supreme Being." Other expressions for Surat Shabda Yoga include Sehaj Yoga (an easy path leading to Sehaj or equipoise) The Path of Light and Sound, The Path of the Sants, The Journey of Soul, and The Yoga of the Sound Current.Īccording to Soamiji, shabd (eternal sound-current) is the first manifestation of the Supreme Being. Surat means "soul," Shabad means "word" and Yoga means "union." The term "word" means the “Sound Current,” the “Audible Life Stream” or the “Essence of the Absolute Supreme Being,” that is, the dynamic force of creative energy that was sent out, as sound vibration, from the Supreme Being into the abyss of space at the dawn of the universe's manifestation, and that is being sent forth, through the ages, framing all things that constitute and inhabit the universe. It is a form of spiritual practice that is followed in the Sant Mat and many other related spiritual traditions. Surat Shabad Yog is the Sound of God and Inner Sound Meditation. Surat-Shabd-Yoga is the easiest and best spiritual practice. This spiritual exercise can be practised by one and all, and without denouncing their worldly duties. Guru-bhakti would facilitate the shabd-bhakti.One who is initiated into Radhasoami faith and performs ideal guru-bhakti, can practise surat-shabd-yoga easily and perfectly. It literally means the union of surat (spirit entity) with shabad (the holy resonance of the sound current). Surat-Shabad-Yoga is the inner spiritual practice.
