Is sound yoga then a path to enlightenment?
A. Sound yoga prepares the spiritual aspirant for enlightenment. In the dictionary Enlightenment is described in the Hindu and Buddhist traditions as the beatitude that transcends the cycle of reincarnation characterized by the extinction of desire and suffering. Sound yoga is a pathway to enlightenment that uses sound to transcend the ego/mind. (Every spiritual pathway is simply based on different approaches for transcending the ego/mind). Sound yoga is a tool that we use to clear the obstacles and purify the pathway. Life is then seen in a different context and it helps us to reorientate human experience. Enlightenment is a progressive realization. It means that prior to enlightenment the former identity and all that had been believed of self have been dissolved and transcended.
