Shabd Yoga, the time-honored discipline of listening to the inner sound current, when practiced regularly and accurately, is an effective means of fostering the development of one's consciousness, a valid method for achieving evolutionary spiritual growth, an effective means of tapping into and experiencing a person's innate inner bliss, and a certain means of achieving self-realization. "Shabd Yoga and Sant Mat" reveals the common esoteric thread that ties all of the world's sacred traditions together.

"Shabd Yoga and Sant Mat" discusses the method itself and the attainments that can accrue from sustained, disciplined practice. It also explores the entire history of this ancient practice, including a discussion of the many spiritual masters who have mastered Shabd Yoga and taught it throughout the millennia.
