Sutra One and the Humee Hum Mantra

By Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Director of Training KRI

A sutra is a statement that weaves together two realms—the finite and the Infinite—into
the consciousness that supports the Self. This sutra—Recognize the other person is you
—has three dimensions: I, You and Thou/Infinite.

The sutra says that you and every person share a common nucleus; a still point
that is by nature infinite. It is both before and beyond our normal sense of time and
space, and yet gives birth to all that is experienced in time and space. It is similar to
what physicists call the quantum vacuum. It is an empty stillness from which all things
arise. We enter that by creating a state of shuniya in meditation and prayer.

As that Oneness expresses, it takes the form of polarities. A basic polarity is you and
others. You and me. Without stillness and depth in our heart, these seem different,
opposed or unrelated. But as we attune to the depth within our own consciousness
(Humee Hum) and listen to the depth in the other person (Tumee Tum) and place
both sensitivities before the Infinite (Wahe Guru), we are multiplied.
The mantra we are using with this sutra—Humee Hum, Tumee Tum, Wahe Guru; I am
Thine, in Mine, Myself, Wahe Guru—has a subtle structure in its sound, beat and
arrangement. We vibrate it from within our heart and listen to our sound and become
merged in it. There is a 3.5 cycle energetic rhythm in this chant. This does not mean just
the beat or the tal. It means the energetic gesture of the chant in meaning, energy and
projection.

To sense and manifest the subtle insight of this sutra, there is no stronger
affirmation than Humee Hum, Tumee Tum, Wahe Guru; I am Thine, in Mine,
Myself, Wahe Guru.

I am Thine, in Mine

When we say, “I am thine, in mine” we are projecting our consciousness and connecting
‘my’ personal self to the sense of Infinity—to Thou. And it is my ‘Thou.’ It is my
connection.

Myself

Then we say “MySelf!” We have been made whole in that connection and so we declare
the reality of our Self. We witness and affirm our reality. We are clear, elevated,
illuminated and real. Understand what we are connecting. I am thine in mine. We are
speaking in a direct conversation with the Infinity of the Self.

Wahe Guru

Then we multiply that reality to Infinity with Wahe Guru. The affirmation takes us from
polarity, to Oneness, to Infinity. The sound and syntax of the sounds bring us into
relationship, realization and declaration.

Humee Hum

When we say Humee Hum it is the depth of my own sense of self and consciousness. It
requires the heart center.

Tumee Tum

Then we say Tumee Tum and project the depth of the Other—the other person, the other
thing, the unknown other. We come into a relationship—a Tantra of God’s play and
power.

Wahe Guru

Once again, we exponentiate this polarity to Infinity with Wahe Guru. The realization
and embodiment of the sutra “Recognize the Other Person is You” is accepted (beyond
all our conscious and subconscious resistances) and accomplished with ease. All that is
inside and all that is outside come together and are expanded in Wahe Guru. The heart
center and throat center are engaged. On the sound he (hay), the flow of power and
energy is felt gently at the brow center to complete the projection.

In this way clarity of mind comes. The sense of personal purpose and life purpose
comes. And a profound connectedness with other people and with All that Is arises.
