"The sound you hear in deep meditation is the primordial Om, the song of existence; simply listen with joyous, aesthetic attention, allowing your whole being to vibrate with it."
According to Osho, the sound you hear in deep meditation is the primordial Om—the song of existence—not bodily noise. It arises when you are utterly silent. Do nothing with it; just listen, watchfully and lovingly, as a poet beholds sunrise. With joyous, aesthetic attention, the sound clarifies until your whole being vibrates with it. Mechanical chanting is unnecessary; receptive awareness is the true mantra.
When you’re very quiet inside, you can hear the universe’s hum (Om); don’t react—just listen warmly and it will deepen.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you trust the experience and avoid distraction or fear.
- Deep, loving listening strengthens meditation and inner silence.
- Shifts from effort (chanting/doing) to effortless receptivity, aligning you with life’s rhythm.
