But thislsvara is Adi-Guru, who is not conditioned by time. The magazineof knowledge and power is within. The help of a Guru isvery necessary to awaken this knowledge. No spiritual progressis possible without the aid of a Guru. That Guru who removesthe veil of aspirants and obstacles and throws light ontheir path, who is omniscient, who exists in the past, presentand future, who is independent is God or lsvara.4.

BHAKTI lN YOGA63thing. ln the Bible you willfind: "ln the beginning there was theword; the word was with God. The word itself is God.'This wordis Om. This world and the Vedas take their origin from Om. lnthe Gita you willfind: "Om, the one-syllabled Brahman, reciting,thinking upon Me, he who goeth forth, abandoning the body, hegoeth on the highest path." Lord Krishna says: "l am Omkara. Iam Pranava in all Vedas. Of speech, I am Ekakshara, theone-syllable." ln the Upanishads you willfind: "Om is the bow;the mind is the arrow. Brahman is the target; know this Brahmanwith concentration; hit the target with Ekagrata;just as thearrow becomes one with the target, the individual soulwill becomeidentical with Brahman." Om has got four feet: Akara,Ukara, Makara and Ardhamatra; representing Visva, Taijasa,Prajna and Turiya.ASankalpa arose in Brahman. Hewished: "May lbecomemany." The physical vibration of Om in the physical plane correspondsto the original vibration in God when Srishti began.Allthe trinities, Sattva, Rajas and Tamas; Brahma, Vishnu andSiva; preservation, creation and destruction; Jagrat, Svapnaand Sushupti;A, U and M;etc., are contained in Om. The gloryof Om cannot be adequately described.The syllable Om is the most appropriate name of the SupremeSelf. Just as a man is pleased when addressed by aname dear to him, so also God is pleased when this name Omis used. The greatness of this monosyllable is further proved bythe fact of its being frequently used in the beginning and end ofJapa, sacrifice and study of the Vedas. A Mantra has no lifewithout Om. The first Mantra of the first chapter of theChhandogya Upanishad is: "One ought to meditate upon thesyllable Om."Lord Yama says to Nachiketas: "The goal which all theVedas uniformly extol, which all acts of Tapas speak of andwishing for which men lead the life of celibacy, the life of aBrahmacharin, that goal I tellyou briefly. lt is this Om.''Pranava'means thatwhich is always new. Pranava is unchangingand eternal. The relation between Sabdha and itsmeaning is Parinama Nitya and not Kutastha Nitya. Purushaonly is Kutastha Nitya. Parinama Nitya is changing eternal.Kutastha Nitya is unchanging eterna!. There are three factors
