THE COSMIC SOUND: The first manifestation of the infinite Spirit was

through the cosmic sound vibration. The closest utterable human

approximation of this creative sound is Om. At the very root of the

universe is the creative energy or holy vibration identified as Om.

The opening of the gospel according to St. John says: " In the

beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. All things were

made through Him… " In the Vedas this has been called Shabda Brahman.

Om as the sound symbol of the Absolute is also called

anahata, which means that the creative word vibration was not

produced on account of any friction. It is self-created, a total

field of energy, neither blind, nor mechanical but profoundly

intelligent. Scientists contemplate this as the quantum event,

infinitely interconnected, self-organising and profoundly intelligent

to be the central idea, the blueprint, and the element of the

universe.

The cosmic sound as the ocean of energetic vibrations

produces a unique rhythm in all objects and creatures, which makes

them distinctly different despite an essential inherent unity.

Chanting and meditating on mantra Om tunes us with divine vibration

and divine light and elevates our encased consciousness to the level

of ultimate existence beyond all dualities of delusion. – M.N.Kundu
