The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The Vedanta speaks of Nada Brahma, the Sound-God, the sound that is God, of which all things are made. Sufis call it Saut-e-Sarmad, the sound that intoxicates man. The Qur'an says: "Kun-fa-yakun -- when God said "Be", it became." Before this world was, all was in sound, God was sound, we are made of sound. That is why we like music. That is why you are listening to this*, because it is your element. Although it has been dimmed by manifestation, your thought, your mind, is made of sound.
