"The mystic considers his very own body and consciousness to be a manifestation of the Word. ... And such a man therefore has the ability -- even the sacred responsibility -- to invoke and send forth the energy of the Word to all life. This he is accomplishing even in silent meditation and in quiet prayer. But it is implemented with an additional force when audible sound itself is enrolled for the task. Wherever harmonious tones are sounding out, there is the door opened to higher dimensions of reality; there do the invigorating, resurrecting energies pour into the physical world and radiate forth like a divine electricity of life."
