    Om Chanting Atman kya hain

    (In Woods of God Realization-Vol 1-pg 593)

    This Atman, this true Ocean of Reality, this

    Controlling and Governing Self, this is to berealized, this is to be felt, to be seen and known inorder to be one with the Infinite. This true Self orAtman is called theI am. This true Self, theperfectIis beyond cause, and time, and space.

    This perfect, this true Self is represented by Om.Om meansI am"; and while chanting Om, youhave not to address yourself to somebody else.While chanting Om, think not of someone outside

    yourself whom you are calling. While chanting Om,you must feel yourself to be one with this trueI am".By this strong feeling, the mind is merged in

    the Reality. By this strong belief, by this livingknowledge of the mind, the mind becomes, as itwere, a bubble which bursts into the mighty Oceanof Reality. This is the way to Realization; this strongfeeling, this living knowledge on the part of themind laying hold of you, and de-hypnotizing yourfalse self, is the way to gain Truth, to free yourself.

    The trueI amis seen in this body and in that body.The trueI amthe Governor, Controller, Ruler, theInfinite Self is the same in the tiny atom, as it is inthe huge, mighty ocean; the same in all time, space,and causation. Just feel that, realize that you arethat trueI amfeel that you are that Infinite,Indestructible Self, and what a metamorphosis,what a grand change does it bring about in yourposition? To think that you penetrate all space; that

    you are in all time, that you are the Self whichsupports all space, that infinite space is supportedby you, held up by you. Infinite Space, Infinite

    Time, Infinite Causation, Infinite Force, InfiniteEnergy, power This I am. This fact is not a matterof ignorance. It is in reality the cause of whatever Ithink myself to be, and it is yours always. Think

    this and you are raised, you are freed from allselfish motives; believe it, and it disperses allsorrows and anxieties; you are raised above all

    jealousy, chafing, worrying, and disturbance. Feel

    that you are thatI am. The same you are.

    Your intellect has no right to ask the cause of itseffect, has no right to identify itself with the cause.

    Take this piece of scarf. If it identifies itself withanything, it must identify itself with silk, thesubstance of which it is made or in which it makesits appearance. It has no right to identify itself withits length, breadth or thickness.Similarly, when the intellect identifies itself with

    anything, it should be identified with its ownsubstance, its true nature. It should become abubble, and burst into oneness with the mightyOcean, the Atman, theI am;it should not beidentified with the body. The body is only an effect;and therefore the intellect has no right to identifyitself with the body.O! The true Divinity, the Atman, this sublimePower has no right to be identified with worldly

    relations, with worldly affairs. You are that SublimeDivinity, that True Reality. Know That, Think That,Feel that, and Rise above all sorrow and trouble.
