What happens when I hear a sound during deep meditation?

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.

Core Insight:
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.
