I have always been fascinated with AUM.
During the 5 years of my studying commerce in college, I remember only one thing, our Management Professor was once having a general chat with the students and he said "Uttering words can be very powerful too... for example OM". I still remember the way he said it... boldly.
Recently while pondering over it I was trying to establish a connection/link between these 3:
White Holes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hole
Black Holes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole
AUM: http://www.balbro.com/iam
Most Sanskrit mantras and texts begin and end with AUM.
Like in the Isha Upanishad:
AUM,
THE IMPERISHABLE SOUND,
IS THE SEED OF ALL THAT EXISTS.
THE PAST, THE PRESENT, THE FUTURE,
-- ALL ARE BUT THE UNFOLDING OF AUM.
AND WHATEVER TRANSCENDS
THE THREE REALMS OF TIME,
THAT INDEED IS THE FLOWING OF AUM.
AUM
THAT IS THE WHOLE.
THIS IS THE WHOLE.
FROM WHOLENESS EMERGES WHOLENESS.
FROM WHOLENESS, WHEN WHOLENESS IS TAKEN AWAY
WHOLENESS STILL REMAINS.
IT CAN NEITHER BE SEEN NOR UNDERSTOOD,
IT CANNOT BE GIVEN BOUNDARIES.
IT IS INEFFABLE AND BEYOND THOUGHT.
IT IS INDEFINABLE.
IT IS KNOWN ONLY THROUGH BECOMING IT.
THIS PURE SELF AND AUM ARE AS ONE;
AND THE DIFFERENT QUARTERS OF THE SELF
CORRESPOND TO AUM AND ITS SOUNDS, A-U-M.
EXPERIENCE OF THE OUTER WORLD CORRESPONDS TO A,
THE FIRST SOUND.
THIS INITIATES ACTION AND ACHIEVEMENT.
EXPERIENCE OF THE INNER WORLD CORRESPONDS TO U,
THE SECOND SOUND.
THIS INITIATES UPHOLDING AND UNIFICATION.
THE STATE OF DREAMLESS SLEEP CORRESPONDS TO M,
THE THIRD SOUND.
THIS INITIATES MEASUREMENT AND MERGING.
WHOEVER AWAKENS TO THIS MERGES WITH THE WORLD
AND HAS THE MEASURE OF ALL THINGS.
AUM
PURNAMADAH
PURNAMIDAM
PURNAT PURNAMUDACHYATE
PURNASYA PURNAMADAYA
PURNAMEVA VASHISYATE.
AUM
INFINITY IS THAT
INFINITY IS THIS
FROM INFINITY, INFINITY HAS COME INTO EXISTENCE
FROM INFINITY, WHEN INFINITY IS TAKEN AWAY
INFINITY REMAINS.
I feel everything in the Universe (including the Universe itself) has a White Hole/s and a Black Hole/s within itself.
Personally, whenever I hear AUM being uttered with a strong vibe... I feel like I am being pulled in as if by the gravity of a Black Whole... my individuality "I" starts dissolving... I lose my orientation... AUM... AUM... AUM... MMMMMMMM.... |
