instead of all of the inner screen and the soul being the inner seer how does transcendental sound awakens our spirituality basically? How does it provides spiritual fulfillment? So I would say that there is a transcendental sound is not just the holy name. It is whole Krishna katha.
It is that which will awaken us to a spiritual awareness so to expand that example further the example I gave is that the mind is like an inner screen and the world out there is the outer scene. The soul is the inner seer so in a sense the soul is different from the whole world but the soul’s consciousness is projected onto the material world that’s why the soul is experiencing various phenomena, happens in distress whatever is appearing on the inner screen pleasure or unpleasant stimuli now imagine the child is watching a horror movie and the child is horrified scared, trembling, sweating and the mother is right next to the child but the child is so caught in the horror movie that the mother touches the shoulder of the child the child thinks the monster from the movie has come so in that situation the mother wants to help the child the child is so engrossed in the inner screen on the horror movie that the mother cannot contact the child directly so you can envision say if there is a tv screen is there and the mother has another remote and she uses the remote to change what appears on that tv screen and there maybe they have shot some pictures or some movie of the mother and the child being together playing together, enjoying together and then suddenly the screen over there changes or that comes another channel over there and the child starts who is this? I know this person she is so nice and gradually now some other channel might also be going on, this is also another channel that is going on as the child starts watching this more and more then the child starts getting oh this is my mother, she is a nice person and then as he starts becoming more and more tuned to her then after that mother comes and touches her, touches inside oh mother he will hug her similarly for us we at present can’t perceive any reality beyond what is projected in our mind we actually don’t even perceive the physical world we perceive the physical world also as it is projected on our mind so what Krishna does is he manifests in the physical world be it as a deity, of course he comes himself as avatars also but as a deity, as a holy name, as a scriptures even as devotees who act as representatives and through them they start manifesting on our inner screen and to the extent we tune in to that channel to the extent we start connecting with Krishna’s manifestations in this world, to that extent our spiritual sensibility or spiritual faculty starts awakening and then as we become more and more familiarized with Krishna, as he is manifested in the inner screen through being in the outer scene then we start becoming receptive to Krishna’s presence within us also so eventually first we need Krishna in the outer physical scene we need to go to a temple we need to be in physically spiritual association so that we can be spiritually stimulated if we keep exposing ourselves to stimuli over a period of time they will become impressed on our inner screen so even when we are not with devotees we will be remembering devotees even if we are not directly in devotional environment, we will remember devotional philosophy devotional service, devotional impressions will keep coming and so that’s when the mind becomes spiritualized and eventually after that it’s just the soul gets liberated from the world, the soul doesn’t need the body and doesn’t need the mind also all of them are left behind and pure soul goes back to the spiritual world so eventually we can perceive Krishna even without the inner screen so that is so the sound or in general the process of bhakti yoga bhakti yoga is called as sensory spirituality it is not just spirituality but spirituality is made accessible through the senses vishikena rishikesha sevanam bhakti vichyate through the senses when we connect with Krishna then we move forward and then we can perceive him even beyond the senses sukham atyantikam yathat buddhi grahayam atendriyam that is it happens beyond the senses it is experienced directly by the conscious faculty of the soul so that’s how spiritual sound it first appears through the physical scene of the inner screen and then gradually it awakens our inner fears realization that the supreme seer is with us that’s how the whole process takes place gradually
