OM | Gather

Total life is of cosmic illusions
With various thoughts and paradoxes

And some philosophical perceptions

Whiles rule emotive feelings and vouches.

We are nothings from motherly nothings

Unaware of meanings of life and death

And presuming our regular breathings

We tend to continue with blinding faith.

The process provides knowledge and wisdoms

And thinking this as the truth ultimate

We run for many gains and our freedoms

In the surroundings viewed from the eyelet.

As such till we live in this earthly dome
Let us jointly chant 'OM' and only 'OM'.

While I'm not sure I agree that we are nothings because I feel our lives do have validity and are gifts, chanting OM is very beautiful and harmonizes us with the joy that is our birthright.

Thanks Ken,Liz,Linda,John,Brenda, Shelly and Barbary for appreciations and chanting the cosmic sound 'OM'.

Yes Brenda ... no need to agree ... just chant 'OM'.

Barbary .. Deepak Chopra and Robin Sharma are my heroes too. We all are learners.

What boggles my mind is that these thoughts originated thousands of years before Christianity - yet the more I study them, the more I see that they offer a path that is certain.

Superb trancendental poem that really evokes the importance of the seed sound, and with it, the Ultimate.

Ah!

What a sensual word we inhabit

Oh!

What lovely things we can see

Oooh!

What delightful smell is this

Mmmm!

This tastes divine

Ah-oh-oooh-mmmm

Om

Our first verbal expression

Om

Our primal mantra

Om

Our praise for the gift of life

Om
