Hari OM tat sat

[Guest guest]

Hari OM Tat Sat <br>Hari is one of the names of

the hindu gods. hari is vishnoh. (the hindu

god)<br><br>whenever a holy name of the supreme lord is uttered we add

OM as a prefix. <br><br>Om ity etad brahmano

nedistham nama (Rg Veda) indicates the first goal.

<br><br>Then tat tvam asi ((Chandogya Upanisad ) indicates the

second goal. which literally means "you are THAT." OR

YOU ARE ONE WITH BRAHMAN.<br><br>And sad eva saumya

(Chandogya Upanisad ) indicates the third goal. truth is

beautiful. <br><br>combined they become om tat

sat.<br><br>Formerly when Brahma, the first created living<br> entity,

performed sacrifices, he indicated by these three words the

Supreme Personality of Godhead. <br>So this mahvakya HARI

OM TAT SAT has great<br>significance. Bhagavad-gita

recommends, therefore, that any work done should be done for

om tat sat, or all fruits of your actions should be

dedicated to HARI, the GOD. <br><br>dk

osho on this mahavakya.... <br><br>"Hari Om Tat

Sat: the divine sound - that is the truth... It is one

of the mahavakyas, the great sayings which have been

embedded in the hearts of the mystics since eternity. It

is not something theoretical, not something

philosophical, it is something existential.<br><br>Those who

have gone within themselves have always heard a

strange sound, which can only be called the sound of

existence itself. It is difficult to reduce that sound into

language. Hence for centuries, as far back as we can go,

Om, the sound, has been represented not by any

alphabetical word but by a symbol.<br>That symbol is beyond

any alphabet. It does not belong to any language.

Hence the Tibetans can use it, the people who are

writing in Sanskrit can use it; Mahavira can use it, who

was using a language called Prakrit; Gautam Buddha

can use it, who was speaking in a language called

Pali. There is no other symbol in the whole world which

does not belong to any particular language, but is

simply symbolic of a certain experience that can happen

to anyone. <br><br>The sound of Om is heard only

when your mind is completely silent, when you have

gone beyond all language, all thinking, when there is

pure silence, not even a ripple. Suddenly you hear a

music. There is no instrument playing it. It seems it is

simply the very heartbeat of existence. That's why it

doesn't matter whether someone is a Buddhist or a Hindu

or a Jaina. It does not depend on your philosophy,

on your religion. It depends on the depth of your

reach towards your very inner center. There, suddenly,

you are overwhelmed.<br><br>It is not exactly Om, but

Om comes the closest to expressing the sound. And

the sound has been called the divine sound because it

is not man-made. It is eternally herenow. Whoever

wants to enter into the stream of eternal existence is

bound to hear it. It says nothing, but it vibrates your

being to such joy, to such celebration, to such dance

that you have never dreamt of before.<br><br>The word

`hari' is used as one of the names of God. <br><br>The

word `hari' in itself has another meaning which is far

more beautiful than the word God. Hari in Sanskrit

means the thief. And the sound of Om, once you come

close to it, certainly proves to be the master thief

because it simply steals your very heart forever. Then

you are part of the existence and you are no longer a

separate personality.<br><br> it is the master thief

sound, which has stolen millions of hearts.<br><br>But

whatever you say, one thing is certain: Tat Sat. Tat means

that, and sat means truth.<br><br>This sound of Om is

our very truth, is our very being. This sound is

certainly the most sacred, the most divine, because there

is nothing more beautiful, nothing more ecstatic.

Once you have heard it, even from far away... just a

glimpse and you will never be the same person

again.<br><br>All that we are searching for in meditations is

nothing but this master thief. We are searching in our

being: what kind of dance, what kind of music goes on

there in the living center of your life. Strangely

enough all those who have entered in have found the same

answer, without exception - Hari Om Tat Sat."<br><br>osho

Dear dkny1,<br><br>I was carefully going through

the explanation of OM in Osho's words. <br>It is not

exactly OM. OM comes the closest to expressing the sound.

Then what would be the right sound of

THAT?....amazing, dkny. Could it only be experienced? something

beyond language, expression, sound......and that that

that...<br><br>Dkny, thanks for the knowledge you imparted from Osho

for us.<br><br>Hari, who steals your heart away, thus

the master thief, is it? The thief was (or is)

stealing lots and lots of 'makhan' of the Gopikas, however

the Gopikas were searching for the THIEF eternally,

because they can never afford to get separated from HIM.

They dance with HIM in accordance with the tempo of

the bamboo reed played by HIM and the Gopikas were

experiencing the ecstacy of to be with HIM.<br><br>Dear dkny,

could you please tell us who are the Gopikas and what

is the 'makhan'. Is the makhan the heart of the

devotee itself? Physically, Makhan is the cream and this

would be obtained by churning and churning the milk.

Here, the word churning represents the

Sadhana?<br><br>Awaiting your reply, <br><br>Hari Om Tat Sat!<br><br>Devan
