A human being is
defined to be an ensemble of the gross (physical) body, subtle (mental and
energy) body and astral body (the iner self or the domain of the soul). The
existence of three perennial expressions of thy powers of the trinity Gods -
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, is said to be vital for the manifestation of Nature
and life. the existence of the three bodies is similarly an integral part of
the existence of any living being in this world. The three bodies, like the
triveni - confluence of the holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati are
separate as well as one - being the interwoven segments of a single individual
self.
Refinement and
development of any one of these bodies would be incomplete without the other
two. Therefore, when we talk about the role of Sabda or mantra vijnana in human
life, we must analyze the respective effects on each of the three forms
(bodies) of a human being.
Our world is
physically constituted by three basic energies viz. Sound, Light and Heat.
According to the electromagnetic wave theory, the ever expanding universe is
described as a limitless ocean of energy waves. Grasping and utilization of
some of these has given rise to the inventions and discoveries lioke radio,
telephone, X-rays, radio-rays, laser, gamma-rays, …….., etc. Enormous
combinations of super imposition of compatible waves are supposed to give rise
to the energy particles, various subtle particle-states and ultimately to the
atomic and molecular forms of matter. The root cause of the existence of
different physical forms/states of any kind of material - however subtle or
gigantic it might be - is the 'collision or superimposition' of some of these
omnipresent, ever vibrating, energy waves.
The eternal forms of
sound and vibrations are synonymous with respect to their physical existence.
Noting this, a natural conclusion of the above theory would be that - Sabda and
nada are the origins and the ultimate controllers of everything that exists (in
gross or subtle form) or happens (including the manifestation of life and death)
in this universe. Our gross, subtle and astral bodies are thus naturally
affected by 'sound'.
Our gross body is a
physical system consisting of bio-physicochemical components. The impact of
sound on this system results in corresponding vibrations in the molecular,
cellular (e.g. an enzyme in a cell or a membrane, or a hormone….) or organ
(e.g. the liver, uterus or ears…..) components and generates isolated or
cascade effects (positive or negative, depending on the type of sound) on the
interconnected subsystems. Several examples of the negative physical effects of
the impact of sound on the gross body have been described earlier in the
context of the Doppler Effect and noise pollution…… Examples of the positive
physical effect (on the gross bodies of any living being), apart from those
described earlier include - increase in the immunity of human beings under
specific therapies based on sound; acceleration of the growth rate of
vegetation by special music….., increase in the reproduction rates of some varieties
of fishes and hens under certain music-based treatments…..
