In Tune with Infinity: The Transformative Power of OM/AUM
In Tune with Infinity
The Transformative Power of Om/AUM
Discovering the Cosmic Sound
In the journey of life, we often find ourselves at crossroads, grappling with loss, confusion, and a sense of emptiness that seems to engulf our being.
It is during these moments, when the world around us appears bleak and the path ahead uncertain, that the ancient wisdom of the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali offers a beacon of light.
This wisdom is encapsulated in the sacred syllable Om – the primordial sound from which all existence emanates.
Understanding and embracing Om can be a transformative experience, guiding us through life’s tumultuous waters towards a state of inner peace and harmony with the universe.
Who will dare to rip this veil? Who has a heart bigger than a hero’s to lift it? Do you have what it takes?
When one sees the veil, the heart pounds as if it’s about to burst from the chest. Who will rip this veil—a hero, a villain, or someone beyond that?
And once one has the courage to lift the veil, what will you find? Yourself—your real self.
Om, or Aum, is more than just a chant; it is the universal hymn, the essence of the cosmos, vibrating continuously through the fabric of existence.
It represents the infinite, the all-encompassing, the essence of life itself—and that is you.
This realization is both liberating and frightening, as it puts you in a position of strength and also subjects you to judgment from your own self.
When we intone this sacred sound, we are not merely participating in a ritual; we are aligning ourselves with the vibrational heartbeat of the universe or self.
This act of tuning in is not confined to the boundaries of yoga studios or meditation halls; it is an invitation to connect with the higher self, the universe, and the divine flow that permeates everything.
The application of Om in yoga and meditation practices serves as a powerful tool to deepen our connection to the present moment and the eternal now.
It is a reminder that, despite the apparent chaos and disorder of the world, there exists a deeper order and harmony that we can attune to.
Let’s contemplate a few points based on Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8.
In Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Krishna explains to Arjuna the profound paths to spiritual realization and liberation.
He begins by saying that a person who abandons the body while pronouncing the sacred syllable ‘Om’ and thinking of Him attains the highest goal.
For those yogis who are perpetually disciplined and continuously think of Krishna, He becomes easy to reach.
These great souls, once they reach Krishna, do not suffer the impermanence and suffering of rebirth; they attain the highest perfection.
Krishna further explains that even the worlds, up to Brahma’s realm, undergo cycles of creation and destruction.
However, once one attains Krishna, the cycle of rebirth is finished.
Those who understand the concept of cosmic time know that a day of Brahma lasts for a thousand ages and is followed by a night of equal length.
As day dawns, everything manifest emerges from the unmanifest, and as night falls, it merges back into that unmanifest state.
This cycle of beings coming into existence and merging back happens repeatedly.
Yet, beyond this cycle, there exists an eternal unmanifest state, which is not destroyed when all creatures are destroyed.
This eternal unmanifest, called ‘imperishable,’ is the highest goal. Once attained, there is no returning to the cycle of birth and death.
This state represents Krishna’s supreme domain.
Krishna, a representation of the absolute reality, the ultimate truth that is beyond names and forms.
While Krishna serves as an archetype pointing towards this ultimate reality, he is not the absolute reality itself.
One can regard Krishna as a divine figure or deity, but it is important to understand that the true essence he represents transcends any singular form or name.
This absolute reality is you in your manifested form, just as Krishna was in manifested form.
In this manifested form, you are interconnected with all beings, pointing towards the unmanifested unity of everything.
However, without shedding the ego, one cannot fully realize or unite with this ultimate reality.
In this cosmic game of life, you have the choice to either play your part or return to your true home.
However, returning home requires shedding the ego. The system is perfectly based on merit; you are here because of karma or because you chose this journey to learn and grow.
If the ego is not shed, you will return to learn more lessons. Therefore, it is better for us to create a harmonious environment for ourselves and future generations, fostering growth and understanding.
By chanting Om, we symbolize the philosophy of yoga – a union of the individual self with the universal consciousness.
This sacred syllable is a key that unlocks the door to a realm where the dualities of life merge into oneness.
Incorporating Om into our daily lives encourages us to let go of our attachments, fears, and the illusion of control.
It teaches us to embrace the flow of life, to accept the reality that our cups must be empty before they can be filled anew.
In embracing Om, we acknowledge that sometimes, when everything seems lost and life’s challenges overwhelming, the best course of action is to let go.
Letting go does not mean giving up; it means allowing ourselves to be carried by the currents of life, trusting in the universe’s wisdom, and opening ourselves to the divine flow
It is in this surrender that we discover the real power within us. The divine spark is not just in the mantras we chant but resides within us, in the unmanifested, in the nothingness which paradoxically is everything.
This quest for understanding our true nature is a long and profound journey. As the American psychiatrist, Stanislav Grof said,
Shamanism, the oldest spiritual system and healing art of humanity. The career of many shamans begins with a spontaneous psychospiritual crisis (“shamanic illness”). It is a powerful visionary state during which the future shaman experiences a journey into the underworld, the realm of the dead, where he or she is attacked by evil spirits, subjected to various ordeals, killed, and dismembered. This is followed by an experience of rebirth and ascent into the celestial realms. Shamanism is connected with holotropic states in yet another way. Accomplished and experienced shamans are able to enter into a trance state at will and in a controlled way. They use it for diagnosing diseases, healing, extrasensory perception, exploration of alternate dimensions of reality and other purposes.
It is through this journey that we realize that our essence, our true self, is intertwined with the fabric of the universe.
By letting go of the ego and the illusions of control, we align ourselves with the ultimate reality, where the boundaries between the self and the universe dissolve, revealing the interconnectedness of all existence.
The Practice of Letting Go
Letting go is an art, a deliberate choice to surrender to the flow of existence, to trust in the unseen forces that shape our destiny.
It is the acceptance of impermanence, the understanding that everything in this universe is transient, ever-changing, and evolving.
This realization opens us up to the beauty of the present, to the richness of the here and now, allowing us to experience life in its fullest depth and complexity.
The practice of letting go is not an act of defeat or resignation but a powerful affirmation of trust and faith in the universe.
This process of emptying and refilling is a fundamental aspect of the natural world, mirrored in the cycles of the moon, the tides, and the seasons.
It is a reminder that life is a series of endings and beginnings, of deaths and rebirths, each offering an opportunity for growth and transformation.
If you think you know who you are, you don’t have a clue who you are.
The essence of this being, this ‘be-ness,’ is transparent means unknown.
We play characters, we wear masks, but all these are archetypal frequencies we embody.
The true essence of self cannot be known, and the bliss is in playing this game without attaching to any particular archetype.
You are in bliss when you are lost in life force. This being is maskless, transparent, pure—something we cannot name in words, as words cannot confine it.
It’s better not to put boundaries around it; otherwise, it will become hell. Your salvation lies in embracing the state of being lost in the life force.
Chanting Om serves as a bridge between the material and the spiritual, grounding us in the present moment while connecting us to the eternal.
It helps to quiet the mind, calm the emotions, and bring clarity to our thoughts, facilitating a deeper state of meditation where true letting go can occur.
In this state, we are better able to discern the lessons hidden within our experiences, to embrace change with grace, and to trust in the journey, even when the destination remains unseen.
Embracing the Divine Flow
In the final chapter of our exploration, we anchor ourselves in the profound realization that embracing the divine flow is the ultimate path to inner peace and spiritual liberation.
This journey, illuminated by the resonant sound of Om, invites us to transcend the limitations of the ego and to dissolve into the vast ocean of cosmic consciousness.
Here, in the embrace of the divine flow, we discover a state of being that is beyond words, where peace is not just a concept but an experiential reality.
To embrace the divine flow is to live in a state of surrender, a state where we allow life to unfold naturally, without resistance or attachment.
It is to trust in the wisdom of the universe, to believe that we are being guided towards our highest good, even when the path is fraught with challenges.
This trust is not passive; it is an active engagement with life, a willingness to flow with its twists and turns, knowing that each moment is an opportunity for growth and enlightenment.
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s chant the mantra.
You can infuse the mantra with any idea, sentence, or word that holds power for you, something that resonates deeply, such as the name of your beloved—your own name in relation to absolute reality—or anything else meaningful.
The collective consciousness surrounding this mantra is already strong, chant it in the old ways if that resonates with you, sit in the nothingness, the void, and immerse yourself in its essence.
However, if your synchronicity or intuition guides you to add something meaningful, do it. Just be aware of dogma.
Afterward, if you wish, you can ride on the Luciferian energy and soar towards higher realms.
Once you have reached your destination, leave the Luciferian energy behind as its purpose has been fulfilled.
Remember, it’s just an energy, an archetype that helps you fly out of darkness at the speed of light.
Ultimately, you must be the one to concretize your manifestations, not rely on the Luciferian energy.
It represents freedom, but what you do with that freedom—whether you get lost in it or create something valuable—is up to you.
Do not attach yourself to any archetype; you are an eternally evolving self, not bound to any one form. Dance your way toward your beautiful lover, your true Self.
The message is simple: live your life with passion and intensity, but don’t be an asshole.
The magical thing about assholes is that one often doesn’t realize they are one until they have descended into the abyss and ascended to higher realms. This is why experience is the key.
But remember, from the depths of assholes, the beauty of life can emerge, just like the lotus flower that blooms from the muddiest waters.
It’s all about timing. Timing needs to be perfect, but one must be experienced enough to hold steady and find balance amid it all.
Love yourself and others, as we are all one. Be compassionate towards yourself and others, as we are all interconnected.
