AUM TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM, BHARGO DEVASYA

DHIMAHI
DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT
AUM APO JYOTIH RASOMRITAM BRAHMA BHUR
BHUVAH SVAR AUM.
AUM is the one spirit animating the whole universe or existence.
AUM becomes mere existence, existing objects (bhuh- static, material
state), moving and feeling entities (dynamic, evolving- bhuvah),
thinking and reflecting beings (self-conscious - svah), scientific, rational
persons (wider perspective than self-consciousness- mahah), awakened
human beings (consciousness of humankind in the individual- janah),
hatching expanding consciousness (consciousness of totality in
individuality- tapah), and the truth (pure being- satyam).
AUM is that (tat) glorious (varenyam) source of everything (savitur)-
whether material, mental or spiritual-, effulgence of (devasya) the
ultimate (bhargo) principle which is fit to be meditated upon (dhimahi).

May that (yo) realization born out of meditation (dhiyo) guide and
enlighten (prachodayat) us (nah).
Aum is all-pervading like space (apo), a light unto itself (jyotir), a most
subtle essence (rasam) that cannot be eliminated (amritam) by any
means whatsoever. For AUM is self-existence (bhur), self-cognizance
(bhuvah), and self-fulfilling (svah).
Such is the glory of the one spirit, which is one without a second, the
truth, the substratum, substance and soul of everything that is known,
knowable, unknown and unknowable.
It is only when an individual’s consciousness rises from the
individualistic self-consciousness to the indivisible integrated
consciousness that spirituality comes into being. The higher and finer
dimensions of AUM or the One Timeless Original Principle, which is
Absolute, Unmanifest, Manifest, can be realized only in the awakened,
boundless, motionless, centreless, silent Presence of the mind, which is
the common and shared space and moment of all living beings,
especially human beings.
Meditation means leaving the grosser, structured outer dimensions of
self to penetrate the inner, subtler and finer realms of the Presence of the
mind. Meditation starts at the individual human body-breath-brain level
but flows through the collective human and universal mind into the
indivisible and absolute Being or Presence.
AUM is one spirit becoming the whole of existence and the totality of
humanity or human consciousness existing in space at any given point in
time. Humanity or human consciousness, born out of the universal
movement and individualization process, is one, dual and multiple at the
same time. It is one as the human mind or consciousness, which has
become dual as manhood (Manu or Adam) and womanhood (Shakti or
Eve or Av) in order to individualize or become individual units, which
are multiple in forms, shapes, humours, colours and personalities
(shatarupa). The individuals or personals are called Manav, Admi,
Avrat, etc.
Each personal or person is but a particular representative or partial form
(avatar) of humanity. The persons exists in humanity and by humanity
and likewise humanity exists through the persons; but the totality of all
persons at any given point in time or at all possible points in time does
not make the totality of humanity. The whole is more than the sum of all
its parts and constituents. It is humanity who becomes each and every
person through the process of procreation. It is humanity who is born at
each birth of a person and who dies at the death of each person. It is
humanity that constantly takes birth and embraces death. The theory of
reincarnation applies to humanity or the global human consciousness
and not to any partial personal, which is but a manifest sample of the
unmanifest population. Rebirth means humanity being born in new
forms through procreation. Redeath means humanity discarding yet
another partial body. Rebirth and redeath are proper to humanity while
birth and death are proper to individual persons. This reality cannot be
realized by a person who is still at the mahah stage or sensory-mental-
intellectual-rational level. It can only be realized and appreciated by one
who has at least reached the janah dimension through deep reflection
and contemplation.
Humanity or the universal in and as human consciousness (janah) has an
identity, a being of its own. It operates through its personal or individual
agencies or representatives, which are subjected to a number of factors,
forces and conditions linked to the procreative, individualization,
genetic, environmental, climatic, cultural, adaptive and transgenerational
processes. It is those partial personal agencies, as representatives of the
absolute, universal, human, ancestral and parental principles, who take
birth, grow, evolve, experience, act, react, procreate, bequeath, decay,
die, decompose and disappear. They are but particular waves of the
ocean, leaves of the tree, letters of the word, sentences of the story
script.
Humanity, through its partial personal entities performs actions (karma),
which produce consequences (karmaphala) to the immediate, actual
initiator of such actions during his lifespan as well as to others related
and unrelated to him, to the present environment and populations and to
the future ones. It’s a complex process that sweeps wider, larger, deeper
and longer than any personal mind could think or imagine. This is the
law of action and consequences or Karma. This law applies mainly to
human consciousness or humanity and affects humanity as a whole,
present manifestations as well as future incarnations of humanity.
Restriction of the realities of Karma and Reincarnation to the individual
instead of the global was a major mistake committed by brains operating
at a lower level of consciousness and had led to a distortion of a law that
applies not just to humanity but to any species, for that matter. In
nature’s mind, so to say, humanhood, doghood, cathood, lionhood, or
any other biological-hood, for that matter, operate under the same
universal laws with only minimal variations depending on the level of
evolution of the species.
Please, meditate, reflect, test and check for yourself the validity of these
findings.
