Today the oceans are full of islands of
rubbish, plastic is suffocating the earth, the biggest contributor to our
environmental issues is meat, raising animals and all this entails and killing
them for food is killing our planet. Are
you feeling this? Are you aware of
this? The responsibility lies in the
‘I.’ When will I learn, when will I take responsibility? Chant AUM for the benefit of the earth, the
waters, the fires, the airs and the space, chant AUM for life. As well as being practically vegan and
banning plastic from my life as much as possible, reducing water and
electricity usage – when I chant OM it is for the earth, for that earth that
supports and nurtures me and it is up to me to take care of It, to take
responsibility for her. The universe is
made of love and it is full of love, if you can only chant Om with integrity
then you can feel that love, fill yourself with that love and enjoy that love.
The chanting of AUM can bring you the most
powerful boon. When times are wonderful,
when times are in turmoil, when times are easy and when times are difficult –
chant AUM to bring yourself invigoration, support, a confidence and a relief. The afflictions of the mind will start to
weaken and the thoughts will become constant and a flow of positivity enabling
you to live peacefully and in contentment.
The mind will gradually become quiet and will strengthen to ananda –
bliss; mental pain will decrease and the heart will open. Physical nervousness, depression, irregular
breathing and distractions will become less and less. Chanting of this beautiful Om brings a
healing vibration not only to you but also to the whole universe. Raise your energy levels, calm the mind and
chant Om the oldest known word to man.
Raise your mental potential and work towards your liberation when all
becomes one and the Universal consciousness merges with the individual; this is
the yoga.
Here is what Swami Bhoomananda has to say
–
“Chant this holy AUMkara generating a lasting
and benedictory note to enrich and purify the whole universe. Only the human individual can produce a sound
like this. It represents the entire
articulation, which means the entire thought process. The whole ideation, the whole figuration, the
whole imagination and the whole wisdom.
Combine A U M and make OM.
It represents the wakefulness, which we
create – you wake up to the world, the world does not wake you up. In wakefulness you have extended perceptions
and then these perceptions are withdrawn as you go into your deepest inner
chamber, the inner hemisphere that is the deep sleep. And if you slip into a dream here you find an
extensive world parallel to the waking world.
Who is the creator – you; your mind is the creator.
An interaction between the objects of the
creation and the creator takes place. It
is in the same manor that the whole universe is taking place. We are the subject and the entire world an
object for us, and the whole of our life is an interaction between the subject
– us, and the object – the world.
This happens in the dream, this is very
clear to you, now can you apply the same to the waking state interactions. You are the subject, never the object; and as
the subject of all of the universe and the world you stand superior and
sovereign.
Not to be afflicted, not to be subdued,
not to be overpowered by the world. When
are you going to have this beautiful grandeur of your own self, the great great
supramental splendor?
When is it going to dawn in you? AUM is the way for it; whenever you have
difficulties, troubles and turmoil’s if only you can chant OM. It will invigorate you; will give you redemption
and a relief, a confidence, a support, strength and a security. The sound is the very spirit in your body –
it is such a great thing! It is such a
beautiful sound. It is for the wellbeing
of the whole world and Universe.”
So no delays – let us chant om om om – you
can chant it with me here –
Wishing you the beauty that is within the
magnificent sound of AUM.
