[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 86306, member: 2125"] The Primal Nada is equivalent to infinity and nothingness because it encompasses the entire totality. The Shabad-Jyot which comes into sargun manifestation comes out of Primal nothingness, vibrating into manifestation as the sound current of the Naad. To move in state of sehaja from the merely physical japa to the anehad Shabad, which vibrates out of the Primal Nada is indeed Gurmat.

Out of the silent samadhi comes the creative vibration which gives rise to manifestation. In the empty space is the wordless praise, the anehad Shabad. This is the meaning of the nasal bindu on the Aum, according to Shiva Sutras. Creation vibrates because the Ek Braman pervades within it as Maheshvara, the union of Shiv and Shakti, Pure consciousness and energy. When we become pure consciousness and energy we vibrate without ego, we vibrate without bodies, we transcend the sansaara to vibrate without sound.
