Real Spiritual growth can be achieved only through the practice of meditation. There are many ways to meditate, and each method varies in its results, purposes and objectives. The meditation described here is the technique of uniting the soul with the primordial power or Shabd. It is simply and solely concerned with uniting us with our source.
To be able to make contact with this power that manifests within us as inner light and sound, we need to follow the technique of meditations prescribed and by a spiritual teacher who is himself in contact with it. If we have a radio that is disconnected from its source of energy, then obviously we would not be able to hear any music from it. To tune it to a broadcasting frequency, we would have to find a way to connect the radio to a source of power. In the same way, a true, living spiritual teacher, being tuned in to the source of energy that created the universe, is able to show us how to reconnect ourselves within each and every one of us.
