The Melody of Existence

The Mystic, Saints or Sages have come to know that all Existence is created out of sound, and sound is only an Expression of Energy. Existence, Sound, Energy – All are One.


We need to go deeper to understand things. Science explains the whole of existence.


It first discovered energy in the form of electricity, and then charged particles like the electron of which all of existence is made.


Electricity is only a form of energy.


If we ask a scientist what sound is made of, he will say that it is nothing but waves of electricity, waves of energy. So energy is at the root of everything.


The mystics, saints or sages say the same thing; they are in agreement with the scientists except for a slight difference of language.


Night and day the music of creation plays its enchanting melody.”


The approach of science is to analyze and break things down, to reach the conclusion. The mystics or saint's approach is absolutely different: through synthesis they have discovered the indivisibility of the self.


The wind rises creating a murmur in the branches of the tree, a collision of air against the leaves. When the musician plays a chord on an instrument, the sound is produced by a blow. All sound is produced by an impact, and an impact requires two – the strings of the instrument and the fingers of the musician. Two are necessary to form any sound


God’s Name (or Naam) is beyond all separateness. His Name is the resonance that remains when all dualities have faded and cease to exist.


His Name is described as the Unstruck Melody.


Within this indivisible whole you will come across this resonance.


When a person reaches the state of samadhi, the 'Shabd or the Sacred Sound' resounds within him. He hears it resounding inside him and all around him.


All creation seems to be vibrating with it.


The disciple is struck with wonder when it first happens knowing that he is not creating the sound. He is doing nothing and yet this resonance is coming – from where?


Then he realizes that this sound is not created by any impact, any friction.


It is the Anhad Naad, the frictionless sound, the unstruck melody of existence.
