Brahman
Brahman es el Ser eterno y absoluto, la conciencia absoluta y la dicha absoluta. Brahman es el Yo de todos los seres vivientes. Brahman es el creador, el preservador y el destructor o transformador de todas las cosas. En el Bhagavad Gita, Krishna dice: «Brahman es lo inmutable, y es independiente de cualquier causa excepto Sí mismo. Cuando consideramos que Brahman se aloja dentro del ser individual, Lo llamamos Atman»[1].
The Kaivalyopanishad tells us: “That which is Supreme Brahman, the Self, the great support of the Universe, subtler than ... subtle, eternal, that alone Thou art. Thou art that Alone.” This affirmation, “That thou art,” “Tat-Tvam-Asi,” sums up the inner path of Hinduism—you are Brahman.
Chanting the OM draws the soul into union with Brahman and with the original Word who was with Brahman in the Beginning. Chanting the OM sends the soul back to her point of origin in the Great Central Sun. By the sounding of the Word, OM, the soul is repolarized to Brahman and recharged with the positive spin of the Atman primed for the Homeward journey as she reaps the karmas she has sown while filled with the gladness of her Lord.
