A closer look
Forget Spotify. Devotees of Surat Shabd Yoga are desperately trying to tune their brains into the ultimate phantom radio station. In Sant Mat traditions, practitioners sit for hours in total silence, attempting to hear the Anhad Shabd—the unstruck music of the universe. They report hallucinatory auditory experiences that progress from the roaring of the ocean to the chiming of distant bells, and finally, the trilling of an otherworldly flute. It's an internal acoustic current they literally ride out of their own physical bodies.
