Brahman
'Brahman' é o Ser eterno e absoluto, consciência absoluta e bem-aventurança absoluta. Brahman é o Ser de todos os seres vivos. Brahman é o criador, o preservador, o destruidor ou transformador de todas as coisas. No Bhagavad Gita, Krishna diz: “Brahman é aquilo que é imutável e independente de qualquer causa, exceto Ele mesmo. Quando consideramos Brahman como alojado no ser individual, o chamamos de 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.
