Acharya Prashant explains that the Zen koan of hearing the sound of one hand clapping signifies the entry of magic into life and being prepared for it. He describes magic as living in insecurity and breaking away from the patterns of suffering that define ordinary existence. The guru uses such paradoxical tasks to stop the disciple's habitual search for causes and reasons. When the disciple stops searching and simply laughs or stands speechless without a cause, they have heard the 'unstruck sound' or 'Anhad Naad' mentioned by Kabir Saheb. This causeless state is the true aim of the guru, moving the disciple from the level of logic to a deeper center of being.
