When you chant AUM
Q. What is the meaning of AUM?
A. AUM is a Sanskrit word, a syllable with a special significance and creative power.
AUM is the mother of all sounds. When we chant AUM, what happens is that we bring down peace and light from above and create a universal harmony within and without us. When we repeat AUM, both our inner and outer beings become inspired and surcharged with a divine feeling and aspiration.
AUM has no equal; it has infinite power.
Just by repeating it, we can realise God. When you chant AUM, try to feel that it is God who is climbing up and down within you. Uncountable seekers in India have realised God simply by repeating AUM.
AUM is the symbol of God, the Creator....
One can speak and write for hours about AUM. The main thing, my personal feeling, is that when you repeat AUM, please try to observe what actually happens. If you repeat the name of a cat, a dog or a monkey, or even of an ordinary person, you get no inspiration.
But when you utter AUM, which is the symbol of the Creator, the life-breath of the Creator, you immediately get an inner feeling, the feeling that inspires your inner and outer movements to enlarge your vision and fulfil your life here on earth.
This is the secret of AUM. If you want to cherish a secret all your life, then here is the secret. Please chant AUM and everything is yours.
