56. When something is reversed, it moves in the opposite direction. When the mind is concentrated and attains one pointedness in the Gross Realm (which is the opposite of normal mental functions in the Gross Realm), the mind moves towards the Subtle Realm.
57. Surat (consciousness) exists in the manas (mind) as butter exists in milk. The consciousness moves as the mind moves. The mind is subtle and nonconscious. As a result it cannot go beyond the Causal Realm (which is the Non-Conscious Realm). The consciousness moves within the mind up to the Causal Realm. Then, the consciousness must go alone without the mind beyond the Causal Realm towards its own sphere, the upper realms (above the Non-conscious realms) from which the consciousness has descended.
58. The Divine Sound as described in section 35 is the Original Unspoken Word-Sound of the beginning. It is the special Name of the Supreme Sovereign. This Name makes apparent Its reality to the person who perceives it. By this Divine Sound the direct knowledge of the Essential existence of the Supreme Sovereign may be attained. The spoken words by which the Supreme Sovereign is called are words of admiration for the Divine. Therefore, these spoken names express the glory of God and the Divine Sound. However, these spoken names give expression only of the qualities of the Supreme Sovereign, not direct knowledge of Its Essential Existence.
