raison d’être

If one was to look at Shabda Wikipedia

Shabda wikipedia

It says that in

Sant Mat the raison d’être for the human form is to meditate on the Sound Current, and in so doing merge with it until one’s own divinity is ultimately realized. 

Other faiths and philosophies Esoterically, Shabd is the “Sound Current vibrating in all creation. It can be heard by the inner ears.” [1] Variously referred to as the Audible Life Stream, Inner Sound, Sound Current or Word in English, the Shabd is the esoteric essence of God which is available to all human beings, according to the Shabd path teachings of Eckankar, the Quan Yin Method, Sant Mat, Surat Shabd Yoga, and M.S.I.A. (Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness). Adherents believe that a Satguru, or Eck Master, who is a human being, has merged with the Shabd in such a manner that he or she is a living manifestation of it at its highest level (the “Word made flesh”). However, not only can the Satguru attain this, but all human beings are inherently privileged in this way. Indeed, in Sant Mat the raison d’être for the human form is to meditate on the Sound Current, and in so doing merge with it until one’s own divinity is ultimately realized. "Naam" ("Word") has been described in many traditions through the use of several different terms. the following expressions are interpreted as being identical to "Naam": "Naad", "Akash Bani", and "Sruti" in the Vedas "Nada" and "Udgit" in the Upanishads "Logos", "Word" and "Holy Spirit" in the New Testament "Tao" by Lao Zi "Music of the Spheres" by Pythagoras "Sraosha" by Zoroaster "Kalma" and "Kalam-i-Qadim" in the Qur'an "Naam", "Akhand Kirtan" and "Sacha ('True') Shabd" by Guru Granth Sahib 

If that is the case then a person's most valuable asset would be the quality of their earplugs. I live these french Quies earplugs. 

I wrote this book "The music of the spheres" as a senior thesis way back in 1979
