As Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa says :

 

" The sound OM is Brahman. The rishis and sages practiced austerity

to realize that Sound-Brahman. After attaining perfection one hears

the sound of this eternal Word rising spontaneously from the

navel. " 'What will you gain', some sages ask, 'by merely hearing

this sound?' You hear the roar of the ocean from a distance. By

following the roar you can reach the ocean. As long as there is the

roar, there must also be the ocean. By following the trail of OM you

attain Brahman, of which the Word is the symbol. That Brahman has

been described by the Vedas as the ultimate goal. "
