Dear ALL,

I am replying essentially here to Mr. Caldwell,
and Mr. Coles. The former makes the very interesting
point that it is the Higher Self which is the REAL
GURU. Personally, I concur. However, an external
master is also vital as he, or she offers something
visible, and accessible to our limited five senses to
love, and respect. You may have heard of Faqir Chand
easily traceable on the internet. He was a respected
shabd yoga mystic who was regarded as God in human
form by his devotees. However, whenever they wrote or
talked about their inner, and outer miracles with Him
Chand confessed that he knew nothing about them...even
though He was meant to be omniscient, omnipresent, and
omnipotent!!! To some RS purists this suggested that
he was not a real master, or Sant Satguru. Yet, Chand
gave an interesting, and unusual spin on this
situation. He said that it was the devotees belief,
and love in Him which prompted a whole variety of
inner, and outer miracles connected with Himself. He
also notably made the point that the same thing would
happen even if the master were not perfect!!!

I personally believe the above is the most likely
truth. I feel there is a part of us all that exists
beyond time, and space. It is our Higher Self or
rather our future Perfected Self which can using a
variety of guises help us in our spiritual evolution. 
Outer gurus, or teachers act as the visible means to
reach the invisible. It may well be that no Sant
Satguru has to be perfect absolutely in the moral
sense as our Higher Self, or Perfected Self in this
bizarre Mono-Drama. When Sant Mat says we need to seek
a Perfect Master, it may well really mean we need to
seek our Perfect, or Higher Self via a visible guru.
Since, the Self is really our God it would through a
Sat Satguru being able to connect us to the Sound
Current.

It is important to understand that shabd yoga should
not be confused with nada yoga. Though both are
concerned with inner sound the latter only deals with
the lower ones of the astral planes. 

I see Mr. Coles and someone called Babara have been
hearing the audible manifestation of spirit.
Scott-Rogo once wrote a two volume book on this
subject simply called NAD.
