Om (Aum, Omkar, seed syllable)

The word Om (aum) derives from the Sanskrit.
The Om is the primordial sound by which the earth was created
It symbolizes unfolding or expansion- when pronounced,
it begins in the lungs, and ends on the lips.​

The symbol representing Om is called the omkar, and has four parts,
representing the four states of human awareness:​



1) The ordinary waking, or material state


2) The state of deep sleep


3) The dream state


4) Absolute conscience, or the awakened state
