Aptavani-2
257
When the Navkar Mantra is recited with a sincere heart
then the Omkar is recited very nicely and it reaches all the
Parmeshti Bhagwans. Even by simply reciting ‘Om’ it reaches
the Panch Parmeshti and even when you recite the Navkar
Mantra it reaches the Panch Parmeshti Bhagwans. ‘We’ have
kept the three mantras together in order to get rid of all enmity
in the heart of humans. This is so because the state of true
impartiality arises after only one becomes a pure Soul. The
awareness of ‘I am a pure Soul’ is same as the Omkar bindu
Sanyuktam. And liberation is the end result of this awareness.
Elsewhere, wherever they practice the Omkar, doing so is a
necessity for them. Because as long as the real truth has not
been attained, one has to take the support of something that is
tangible. From the subtle perspective, the Gnani Purush is
considered Om. Om includes anyone that has attained the
knowledge of the Self to anyone who has become the absolute
Self; they are all called Om. Beyond that comes liberation.
When is liberation attained? Only when one becomes Omkar
bindu sanyuktam. Here when ‘we’ give you the Self, You
become Omkar bindu sanyuktam, and once You become that,
You will attain liberation. No one in the world can prevent or
hinder Your liberation once this happens.
The Navkar Mantra is considered sanyast mantra - a
mantra for those who have renounced. As long as one is
involved in the worldly life, he should recite all the three mantras
together; the Navkar Mantra, Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
and
Namah Shivaya. And once a person renounces the
worldly life, he may recite just the Navkar Mantra alone but
here people adhere to just the Navkar even before renouncing
the worldly life.
