Invoking the Sacredness of ॐ
Fortunate are those who get caught between the infinite sacredness between the chants of ॐ . ॐ , an inseparable part with which we all are born. That sacred space, which is when blessed with infinite possibilities, in its natural order, starting to enjoy by grasping the meaning of a world, seen through slowly & gently opening eyes.
ॐ has been explained to the world, with its many many meanings. Majority of us tie to it, only on special occasions or during busy finishing a ritual that posess us to feel, the first sense of peace or that "ahh" kind of thing. Second majority are those, who loves to chant, either internally or externally, the sacred syllable ॐ and thereby merging into a deep peace. May they have started their journey by accepting a divine deity be it Mahabudhha, MahaVishnu or Mahaveera, the word ॐ is as inseparable as the breath of us.
The rarest of rare, could find a glampse of the infinite sacred space, that exist between the chants or remembrance of ॐ , as if one is experiencing the same while performing "rechaka" and "puraka" & forgot to breath. And that feeling of dissolving into infinity, is described as absolute void by some & the completeness of self or the Brahman itself.
Many in their lives, unknowingly encounter this phenomena, at the time of extreme joy, just after winning in a sports or after a hard battle that was long due or a when a person, just accepted the bitter life, which by no means, ready to taste the spring. In that beginning of just moment, that absolute infinite sacredness comes to us & vanish as it has never existed. That is the feeling of ॐ, waiting infinitely for our next return.
Fortunate are those, who learned the art of dwelling in that vast sacred space of ॐ . The humanity is at crossdoor by just overlooking thse artists be it sages like Vashishtha or Budhha or Jesus or Nanak, or any great loving kings of Indus Valley or far East or Central Asia.
An invoking Shloka from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, guides us by a gentle undertanding of that vastness to invoke that sacredness, and that is
ॐ पुर्णम् अदः, पुर्णम् इदं । पुर्णात् पुर्णम् उदच्यते ।
पुर्णस्य पुर्णम् , अदहः पुर्णम् ऐववशिश्यते ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः
Meaning of above Shloka,
"That is full, this is full . From the full only, full proceeds. After coming from the full, what remains is also
full."
