Hisutterance means we have to utter it as His name. It also meansthat His utterance will be heard by us, only as OM, when webegin to utter OM and listen to the sound of the utterance. “Thewise men call it The Syllable. Those who live in pure poise enterHim in the form of the Syllable”, says Bhagadadgita. As youpractise uttering OM daily at the same time, in the same selectedplace, then the Lord begins to speak to you in your voice, in thelanguage of OM.There is something else which you have to observe whileuttering OM. The syllable is to be uttered forth in the form ofthe whole of your respiration. Sit down in a calm place, keepingthe place clean and pure with your thoughts of Him. Makeyourself comfortable. In your posture or gesture there shouldbe no discomfort to any part of your physical body. Whilebeginning to utter, you should maintain the attitude of listeningto it and thinking of it and make an observation of everythingabout it through your awareness. It is inevitable that you haveto listen to your own voice (without attributing any meaning toit) as long as you utter. As long as you listen to your own voicethe supplementary apparatus of listening and uttering is linkedup with sound and there is a completion of the circuit. It is likethe apparatus of the generator of electricity. If there is a gap inconnection, the current does not flow. When properly connected,there is the flow of the current automatically. In you also there
Lesson - 5 77are two parts of the apparatus, the uttering apparatus and thelistening apparatus.Close your eyes, begin to utter and listen to your ownvoice, trying to think of the meaning and the significance ofyour own voice (at the same time not attributing any meaningwhich you know previously). As long as you utter without listeningto it, there will be no effect. Then there will be no differencebetween the blow of a horn and your utterance. Many sirens inmany factories and many offices are being blown daily for afew minutes. You can’t call it the utterance, or OM. There maybe sounds mechanically produced, resembling OM. They arenot and cannot be OM because OM is not only a sound, butalso a word, a meaning, a significance, a touch, a sensation,and an awakening. All these put together is OM, the name ofthe Lord. This process is called Japa. Observe and try tounderstand the meaning of the word OM, while uttering. Whenyou do it like this you will include the meaning, intention, feeling,sensation and the touch of your higher consciousness with yourutterance and finding it as the Lord of the soul.According to the tradition of the Vedic Scriptures, youhave three sources of real wisdom, the impersonal wisdom.They are in you and not outside anywhere. They are not manmade,but they are given to man by nature as the utterance ofGod, the Lord in you. The first source is your voice, utteredforth. The second one is your breath, the vehicle of your voice.The third is the import or the content of the voice. It is yourself,the ‘Impersonal Man’ in you, the Lord in you, called the Purushain the Vedas. The fourth one is received and transmitted byyou as the application of the above three in your life. Thesethree implements of wisdom are figuratively called the ‘threevolumes’ of the Vedas (Wisdom). Of course, we have theliterature of these four volumes but it forms the commentary ofthe Veda, “the Word that cannot be written by man on paper”.
