The Meaning of Om
.jpg)
Before the beginning, the Brahman
(absolute reality) was one and non-dual. It thought, "I am only one may I become many." This caused a
vibration which eventually became sound, and this sound was Om. Creation itself
was set in motion by the vibration of Om. The closest approach to Brahman is
that first sound, Om. Thus, this sacred symbol has become emblematic of Brahman
just as images are emblematic of material objects.
