Surat Shabd Yoga is a spiritual practice that focuses on the inner sound and light as a means to connect with the divine. It emphasizes the importance of meditation and self-awareness, guiding practitioners to turn their attention inward. By listening to the inner sound, or Shabd, individuals aim to transcend the physical world and experience higher states of consciousness. The practice is rooted in various spiritual traditions, including Sant Mat and Radha Soami, which teach that the soul can achieve union with the divine through disciplined meditation. Practitioners often seek guidance from a guru to deepen their understanding and experience of this transformative journey.
