Shabd

The beginning and end of all things is Shabd.
All gross matter, the sky and so forth, subtle matter,
Sound, form, taste and scent are all Shabd.
Whatever exists is Shabd.
Whatever is manifested from Shabd
  cannot be anything but Shabd.
Shabd is our creator.
Shabd is our sustainer.
We are of Shabd and Shabd is ours.
_{Maharaj Sawan Singh, Philosophy of the Masters, Vol. IV}

Our real Master is the Word, the Logos, Shabd, Nam, the audible life stream or whatever name one may choose to give it. The Master is that power manifested in human form.
_{Maharaj Charan Singh Introduction to Die to Live}

It is by sitting for meditation that we empower our soul, receive spiritual nourishment, become spiritually strong to face the world and learn to make contact with the Shabd within.
