Examples of this are manifest to our view here if we would observe life more keenly. Every person before he does anything, or says one word, begins to vibrate aloud what he is, what he has done, what he will do. There is an English saying, "What you are speaks louder than what you say." The soul apart from the body and mind is a sound, a note, a tone, which is called in Sanskrit Sura. If this note is inharmonious, and has dissonant vibrations, it is called in the Sanskrit language Asura, or out of tune. The soul therefore in the heaven of the angels has no sins or virtues to show; nor has it a heaven or hell to experience; nor does it show any particular ambition or desire; it is either in tune or out of tune. If it is in tune it takes its place in the music of the heavens as a note in the tune; if it is not in tune it fails short of this, producing discordant effects for itself and for others.
