'Om' means 'Yes, God exists.' Even in this twentieth century
God exists. 'Sa eva adya sa u shvah' - He alone exists today;
yesterday He alone was, and tomorrow He alone will be. He is
permanent. Creation, is permanent. And I have girded my loins and am
ready to serve. I am the sadhaka, the seeker, He is the Lord;
this Creation is the offering and the means of worship.
It is only when our hearts are filled with this feeling that we can say 'om' has entered our being. He exists, I exist, and my worship too goes on - thus the feeling of 'om' should settle in our minds and find expression in our sadhana, our work. Whenever we see the sun, we see it with its rays. It cannot exist without them. It never forgets its rays. In the same way, whenever any one looks at us, we should be seen with our sadhana, our work. It is only then that we shall have made 'om' our own. Then comes 'sat.' The Lord is 'sat', that is, He is good; He is auspicious. Be filled with this bhavana, this feeling, and in Creation, enjoy His benignity. Look at the trough in the water! When you fill a pitcher from the tank, the depression is filled up in a moment. How benign, how loving. A river cannot tolerate emptiness. It runs; forward to fill it up. "nadii vegena shuddhyati"The river of Creation purifies itself by speed. All Creation is good, is auspicious. Let your action too be likewise. |
