OM IS THE POWERFUL WORD OF MANIFESTING

                                       OM IS THE MANIFESTING WORD

                EVERY IDEA THAT YOU HAVE IN THE MIND HAS A COUNTERPART IN A WORD, THE WORD AND THE THOUGHT ARE INSEPARABLE. THE EXTERNAL PART OF THE THOUGHT IS WHAT WE CALL WORD, AND TH INTERNAL PART OF THE THOUGHT IS WHAT WE CALL WORD, AND THE INTERNAL PART IS WHAT WE CALL THOUGH. NO MAN CALL WORD, AND THE INTERNAL PART IS WHAT WE CALL THOUGHT. NO MAN CAN, BY ANALYSIS, SEPERATE THOUGHT FROM WORD. THE IDEA THAT LANGUAGE WAS CREATED BY MEN - CERTAIN MEN SITTING TOGETHER AND DECIDING ON WORDS- HAS BEEN PROVED TO BE WRONG. SO LONG AS THINGS HAVE EXISTED, THERE HAVE BEEN WORDS AND LANGUAGE. WHAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN AN IDEA AND A WORD? ALTHOUGH WE SEE THAT THERE MUST ALWAYS BE A WORD WITH A THOUGHT, IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT THE SAME THOUGH REQUIRS THE SAME WORD, THE THOUGHT MAY BE THE SAME IN TWENTY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, YET THE LANGUAGE IS DIFFERENT. WE MUST HAVE A WORD TO EXPRESS EACH THOUGHT, BUT THESE WORDS NEED NOT NECCESARILY HAVE THE SAME SOUND. 

                SOUNDS WILL VARY IN DIFFERENT NATIONS. OUR COMMENTATOR SAYS, ALTHOUGH THE RELATION BETWEEN THOUGHT AND WORD IS PERFECTLY NATURAL, YET IT DOES NOT MEAN A RIGID CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SOUNDS AND THE THOUGHTS IS A NATURAL ONE. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THOUGHTS AND SOUNDS IS GOOD ONLY IF THERE BE A REAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE THING SIGNIFIED AND THE SYMBOL AND UNTIL THEN THAT SYMBOL WILL NEVER COME INTO GENERAL USE. SYMBOL IS THE MANIFESTOR OF THE THING SIGNIFIED, AND IF THE THING SIGNIFIED HAS ALREADY EXISTENCE, AND IF, BY EXPERIENCE WE KNOW THAT THE SYMBOL HAS EXPRESSED THAT THING MANY TIMES, THEN WE ARE SURE THAT THERE IS THE REAL RALATION BETWEEN THEM. EVEN IF THE THINGS ARE NOT PRESENT THERE WILL BE THOUSANDS WHO WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR SYMBOLS.

               THERE MUST BE A NATURAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SYMBOL.THERE  MUST BE A NATURAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SYMBOLS. THERE MUST BE A NATURAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THEIR SYMBOLS. THERE MUST BE A NATURAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SYMBOL AND THE THING SIGNIFIED. THEN WHEN THEY SYMBOL PRONOUNCED, IT RECALLED THE THING SIGNIFIED.

                 

                THE COMMENTOR SAYS THE MANIFESTING WORD OF GOD IS OM. WHY DOES HE EMPHASISE THIS? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF WORDS FOR GOD. ONE THOUGHT IS CONNECTED WITH A THOUSAND WORDS. THE IDEA, GOD, IS CONNECTED WITH HUNDREDS OF WORDS, AND EACH ONE STANDS AS A SYMBOL FOR GOD. VERY GOOD, BUT THERED MUS BE A GENERALISATION AMONG ALL THESE SYMBOLS, AND THAT SYMBOL WHICH IS THE COMMON SYMBOL WILL BE THE BEST, AND WILL REALLY BE THE SYMBOL OF ALL, IM MAKING A SOUND WE USE THE LARYNX, AND THE PALATE AS A SOUNDING BOARDS. IS THERE ANY MATERIAL SOUND OF WHICH IS THE MOST NATURAL SOUND? OM (AUM) IS SUCH A SOUND, THE BASIS OF ALL SOUNDS.

                 THE FIRST LETTER, A, IS THE ROOT SOUND, THE KEY, PRONOUNCED WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY PART OF THE TONGUE OR PALATE. M REPRESENTS THE LAST SOUND IN THE SERIES, BEING PRODUCED BY THE CLOSED LIP, AND THE U ROOLS FROM THE VERY ROOT TO THE END OF THE SOUNDING BOARD OF THE MOUTH. THUS OM REPRESENTS THE WHOLE PHENOMENA OF SOUND PRODUCING. AS SUCH, IT MUST BE THE NATURAL SYMBOL, THE MATRIX OF ALL THE VARIANT SOUNDS. IT DENOTES THE WHOLE RANGE AND POSSIBILITY OF ALL THE WORDS THAT CAN BE MADE. APART FROM THESE SPECULATIONS WE SEE THAT AROUND THIS WORD OM ARE CENTRED ALL THE DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS IDEAS IN INDIA, ALL THE VARIOUS RELIGIOUS IDEAS OF THE VEDAS HAVE GATHERED THEMSELVES ROUND THIS WORD OM. WHAT HAS THAT DO WITH AMERICA AND ENGLAND, OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY? SIMPLY THAT THE WORD HAS BEEN RETAINED AT EVERY STAGE OF RELIGIOUS GROWTH IN INDIA, AND IT HAS BEEN MANIPULATED TO MEAN ALL THE VARIOUS IDEAS, ABOUT GOD.

               MONISTS, DUALISTS, MONO-DUALISTS, SEPARATISTS, AND EVEN ATHEISTS, TOOK UP THIS OM. OM HAS BECOME THE ONE SYMBOL FOR THE RELIGIOUS ASPIRATION OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF HUMAN BEINGS. TAKE, FOR INSTANCE, THE ENGLISH WORD GOD. IT CONVEYS ONLY A LIMITED FUNCTION, AND IF YOU GO BEYOND IT, YOU HAVE TO ADD ADJECTIVES, TO MAKE  IT PERSONAL, OR IMPERSONAL, OR ABSOLUTE GOD. SO WITH THE WORDS FOR GOD IN EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE, THEIR SIGNIFICATION IS VERY SMALL. THIS WORD OM, HOWEVER, HAS ROUND IT ALL THE VARIOUS SIGNIFICANCES. AS SUCH IT SHOULD BE ACCEPTED BY EVERYONE.
