OM - SIGNIFICANCE

The significance of the term OM?

OM is a sound which is a combination of three Sanskrit letters. Aa, uu, and ma, which, in combination, makes the sound AUM or Om. In Taitriya Upanishad, one of the Upanishads, it is stated, that the Creator of the world Brahma, creates the world saying OM – OM iti Brahma prasauti. That means it is the basic sound of the world. In itself it is a mantra, and when repeated with high degree of concentration with correct pronunciation and intonation, it penetrates to the centre of one’s being, the soul or Atman as it is called.

To achieve stillness of mind is the objective of the meditation. The mind is of a constantly chattering nature and even for a fraction of a second it cannot be quietened. The repetition of OM with proper intonation will surprisingly bring calmness to the tortured mind and a blissful state will emerge. The process will be a gradual one but a sure and certain thing to happen and tested time and again by millions and found to be true.

The above process is called meditation, and when we chant OM thus we feel a vibration which is in tune with the cosmic vibration present universally. The silence between the chants becomes sizable, till at last all thought processes are submerged. And only one OM remains and then that also vanishes. In that mindless state, intellect is also transcended and the individual self merges with the Infinite self which is the pious moment of realization. Such is the immense power of OM to dissolve the petty worldly affairs of individuals.
