Core Insight:
According to Osho, music can certainly be set to OM, but any effect you feel is from the harmony and rhythmic consonance of notes—not from the syllable itself. What matters is rhythmicity’s impact on the psyche, which can create only an apparent peace. Mechanical OM-chanting dulls awareness, breeds tamas (inertia), and leads to mediocrity; real spirituality demands alertness, not hypnotic repetition.
