The power of om

In the Hindu custom, the sound of om is said to contain the whole universe. It is the primary sound from the start of time and it likewise envelops the present and what's to come. All things considered, its significance and force are hard to exaggerate. In the chakra framework, it is associated with Ajna chakra, the third eye, which addresses instinct and self-knowledge.2

is additionally a seed syllable utilized as a structure block for some different mantras during reflection. For instance, om namah shivaya signifies "I honor the heavenliness inside myself." Om shanti signifies "harmony be with you" and is an option in contrast to bidding farewell.

While yoga isn't a religion, om and om-containing mantras are ordinarily utilized in profound practices where they are managed the cost of extraordinary regard. Being aware of its strict and verifiable importance makes it simpler to utilize a similar regard while joining om into your everyday existence or yoga schedule.

OK. Is there a question or a point of conversation here?
I think we all agree pretty much...

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Ok I'll say something. My take:
Om represents or is an imitation of the Inner Sound Current or the Primordial Vibration ...
the first sound that lingers still pervading all of existence.
It imitates the ''sound from the start of time'' -
since there were no vocal chords, air or lips at the time, you see.
Would that negate the peace found in repeating it as a mantra? No.
But better than the imitation...better to find the actual Sound that is in everything*
and all around and never ends.

* Meaning inside you, too, with no vocalization, no moving parts!

The beej mantra Ohm soundlessly reverberates as Spanda, cognised in silence, ever playing in our spiritual heart.

Beginning with the inner sound current, which is ever present, which in my case is a subdued ‘night sound of the forest’, on one occasion within the dark void, the omnipresent vibration Ohm was distinct, unmistakable and profound.

Recently, Miss H urged me to explore other sounds, so as of heart’s subconscious desire, I was fortunate to be so graced to tune into the sound of a conch and rolling of drums, later with another unknown instrument too, all with a centreless fulcrum. Now, all of this is great as a manifestation but what about its attribute? I’m told that if we go in deeper, subtler truths are revealed. Perhaps. Time will tell.

Scriptures affirm that each of our chakras corresponds to a musical scale or instrument, as also rainbow or other colours as limited cognition perceives. In my view, if we crystallise any vibration and then dwell therein, it’s again stagnation, arising from a subtler yearning of lower mind to ‘stabilise’ our consciousness in that realm, merely redefining boundaries of the ego.
