A UM is the seed mantra that takes us to a different world. It is the starting point. AUM is Omni-present, a vibration present in every sound, every motion. It is in a nutshell, a universal sound. Beyond AUM lies the no-thought zone. In this zone, thoughts do not exist. The mind loses its grip. We do not jump from subject to subject. We stop behaving like monkeys and behave like a MAN. In this zone there exists peace. This peace is very soul soothing. When you reach this zone, you feel as if you have been longing for this since ages. Tension and disturbance vanishes. Body, mind and soul get into a flow. Pattern of breathing changes. “AUM is where a wandering mind comes to rest. It is the point of peace, the point of solitude. There’s peace, there’s silence, and all miseries come to a halt here”. 74 YOGIC HERALD JAN 2018 AUM is where a wandering mind comes to rest. It is the point of peace, the point of solitude. There’s peace, there’s silence, and all miseries come to a halt here. AUM is a good place to be. It is like the shade of a large banyan tree in the desert, like an umbrella under heavy rain. Here you can relax and have no troubles. Here there are no thoughts, no subjects, and just one thing – AUM. Nobody wants to go away from AUM after having reached there.
