According to the sages of the ancient Indian school of philosophy called “Vedanta”, the dilemma we face as men and women, alias, human beings, is that all of our experiences are temporal. This is because the nature of material things is temporal. All material things come into manifestation, exist, and then dissolve back to the original essence from which they came: Divine Spirit. The late spiritual master Paramahansa Ramakrishna taught that even the physical, astral, and causal universes eventually merge back into the formless and timeless Absolute Realm, which is beyond explanation. So, where can one find a sense of stability in a world that is inherently changing and temporal? The answer is the Sacred Syllable OM.

According to the sages of Vedanta, OM is the original manifestation of Divine Spirit and from OM all names, forms, time and space came into being. If you meditate or just sit in silence, you will hear a natural vibration that is everywhere you go: the Sacred Syllable OM. Allow this Transcendental Sound to become your anchor and stability. I personally love, very much, all of my good friends, family, work, and experiences, however cannot hold onto them, because their inherent nature is fleeting, or temporal. OM is a sound that is always present, because OM is the true sound-symbol of the Absolute Reality, which is beyond time and space and all causality.

So, to truly understand the teachings of the sages of Vedanta, spend about 15-30 minutes each day sitting in silence and stillness or if you know how to meditate then do so. Listen, and you will hear, for yourself, the Divine Sound of the Sacred Syllable “OM”. Feel its presence, and know that you can always have fellowship and oneness with the Divine Sound at all times, especially in times when material conditions might be stressful or trying on your patience.
