Chap 35: OM- The cosmic sound (Story of Karthikeyan and Brahma)

Everything You Need to Know About Lord Subramanyar | Astro Ulagam

Some people are going across the sage. Sootradhaar says - "What are they looking for in this dark night?" So he stops one man and asks him - "What are you looking for in this dark night?" He said - "I am looking for a Mantra which if I do Saadhanaa of, it can give me the all comforts and happiness of the world." "Worship Agni." "I worshipped Agni for a long time." He served his Guru for some time and asked him to tell such Mantra. He told a Mantra "OM" in his ears. The disciple recited it for a long time but he could not find anything special in it. Besides he noticed that everybody knew Om and using Om, then how it was special to him? He got bewildered. He again came to his Guru and said - "You gave me that Mantra but I did not find anything special in it. Everybody knows it. It is not a secret Mantra." Guru said - "All right, I will give you another secret Mantra, but before getting that you will have to do my one work." He brought a piece of stone, gave it to the disciple and asked him to take to the market and find out its price, and not to sell it.

The disciple went to the market - to vegetable sellers, to cloth sellers, to other bigger sellers, but they told him that they did not buy stones. He then went to a jeweler and tried to sell that stone. The jeweler immediately asked him - "Where did you get this?" he said - "My Guru has given it to me." He said - "This is a very precious stone, we cannot price it. Even in the whole capital, nobody can evaluate this stone. Even if somebody will price it, he will not price it correctly." and he gave that stone back to the disciple. The disciple came back and told everything to his Guru.

Guru said - "The thing is the same, but the knower is different. Some people know the thing, some do not. Who do  not know the thing, cannot value it, only those can value it who know the thing. Even many people recite Om daily, still they do not know the meaning of Om." Hearing this the disciple fell on the feet of his Guru. Guru  further said - "Om is a letter, Om is a word. Om has 3 sounds. Om is the symbol of Ishwar. Om is Pranav through which Ishwar is prayed.

जंगल में पैदा हुए हैं , जंगल के पार जाना हैं |

जंगल में पैदा हुए हैं , जंगल के पार जाना हैं | बंदरों के बीच कूदते फांदते , गगन को छु जाना हैं |  मिट्टी का पुतला ले बैठें , उसे ऐसे तपाना हैं , माया के हर वार से , उसे कैसे बचाना हैं |  ऊचें ऊचें वृक्षों कि छाया , तमसा के समान हैं , तलाश हैं एक अखंड देव की , जिससे उसे जलाना हैं |  कुरुक्षेत्र कि युद्ध हम लड़ते , दुर्योधन को हराना हैं , जंगल में पैदा हुए हैं , बस एक सारथी का सहारा हैं |
