Om is said to be the eternal witness in our scriptures - the beginningless and the endless sound. Yogis meditate in order to merge their consciousness with this wondrous sound. It is God itself. It is also known as Maha Prakriti - the Cosmic Nature which manifests in varied forms in the Universe. It is the alpha and the omega.
While meditating few days back in the evening - the consciousness went deep within and I heard the sound - like an ocean roar. It was not a physical sound however. It was an intiutive hearing - much different from physical hearing. I felt the intoxicating sound entered through a window in my consciousness slowly - its Siren like melting fingers calling me into itself. The sound and the feeling it generated was as if someone showered beautiful petals of light and love on me. My heart felt as if it wanted to leave everything behind and melt in the ambrosia of the sound and just wanted to lose my physical consciousness. And they say - meditation and Puja is so boring..... Is it but ?? Ask me.... :-)
Finding Om means touching the fringes of God consciousness. Merging in Om means merging into God - into Infinity and to be in touch with all power, all love, all bliss possible in the universe. This is what Yogis aim. And this is the known zenith of Yoga. They say there are further peaks to be climbed after this...but that is for immortals.....who have already merged their consciousness with Om in its deepest recesses and have become one with It.
