The Om Point
"ULTIMATELY THE ASPIRANT has to realize
that God is the only Reality
and that he is really
one with God. This implies
that he should not be
overpowered by the spectacle
of the multiform universe.
"In
fact, the whole universe
is in the Self and springs
into existence from the
tiny point in the Self
referred to as the Om
Point. But the Self as
the individualized soul
has become habituated
to gathering experiences
through one medium or
another, and therefore
it comes to experience
the universe as a formidable
rival, other than itself.
"Those
who have realized God
constantly see the universe
as springing from this
Om Point, which is in
everyone.”
