Brahman

Other languages:

Brahman ist das ewige, absolute Sein, das absolute Bewusstsein und die absolute Seligkeit. Brahman ist das Selbst aller lebenden Wesen. Brahman ist der Schöpfer, der Erhalter, der Zerstörer oder Transformierer aller Dinge. In der Bhagavad Gita sagt Krishna: „Brahman ist das, was unveränderlich und unabhängig von jeder Ursache außer sich selbst ist. Wenn wir Brahman als im Inneren des einzelnen Wesens wohnend betrachten, nennen wir Ihn den Atman.“Bhagavad Gita 8:3, in Swami Prabhavananda und Christopher Isherwood, Übers., The Song of God: Bhagavad-Gita (Gesang Gottes: Bhagavad-Gita) (New York: New American Library, 1972), S. 74.

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.
