Master, Why is it seeing light and hearing sounds so important in meditation?
M: Because that is our own real self. Light and sound is the manifestation of our wisdom inside, which is invisible to our eyes and ears. Hearing the sound doesn’t mean you hear with the ears. Seeing the light doesn’t mean you see with eyes. It’s just the inside awareness of your own self, of your own glorious nature, that we are light; that we are a beautiful melody and that we are not the body. And the more you hear of this invisible, inaudible sound, the more you’ll see this invisible light or heaven, the wiser you’ll become; the more loving you’ll become; the more satisfaction you’ll gain; and the more efficient you will be to serve the world.
