jebriggsy 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) The OM Mantra is a roadmap for sadhana, spiritual practices (written as either AUM or OM). It is not for the person who seeks only the shallow waters of spiritual life, but rather for those who strive to realize in direct experience the depth of the Absolute Reality. There are four main levels of consciousness outlined in the OM Mantra, along with three transition levels, which is a total of seven levels. Each of these is experienced on the inner journey of meditation and contemplation.Source: http://www.swamij.com/om.htm Edited March 29, 2007 by jebriggsy (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
