Sound is the very core of the Vedas. Sound is associated with harmony and melody, and hence the Vedas have to be listened to. It is not to be analyzed, judged and commented upon; but when you listen to it, you will derive ecstasy. Hence the Vedas are called Sruthi (that which is to be heard). Therefore, mere listening to its recital creates the awareness of the Divine and confers bliss on the one who listens. The bliss thus earned manifests in one's words and deeds, and radiates bliss all around.
-Divine Discourse, Vidya Vahini
