Oneness in all it's parts: the Om
Purnam mantra seems most appropriate for beginnings, a New Year and a
Full Moon together on this January 1, 2014.
This is one of my favorite songs. (I
say that about all the songs, though!)
OM Purnam-ada purnam-idam
Purnaat purnam udachyathe
purnasaya purnam-adaya
purnam-eva vashishyathe
The translation I am most familiar with
from our Bend, Oregon, Kirtan Community gatherings is:
THAT is infinite, THIS is infinite;
From That, This comes.
THIS added or removed from THAT,
THIS added or removed from THAT,
the Infinite remains as Infinite.
although I like this one, too:
Wholeness produces wholeness
Only wholeness come out of wholeness
Only wholeness is.
Here is an Osho quote on the meaning of
this mantra:
"[Om Purnam] is one of the most
significant statements ever made anywhere on the earth at any time.
It contains the whole secret of the mystic approach towards life.
This small sutra contains the essence of the Upanishadic vision.
Neither before nor afterwards has the vision been transcended; it
still remains the Everest of human consciousness. And there seems to
be no possibility of going beyond it.
"The Upanishadic vision is that
the universe is a totality, indivisible; it is an organic whole. The
parts are not separate, we are all existing in a togetherness: the
trees, the mountains, the people, the birds, the stars, howsoever far
away they may appear – don’t be deceived by the appearance –
they are all interlinked, all bridged. Even the smallest blade of
grass is connected to the farthest star, and it is as significant as
the greatest sun.
"Nothing is insignificant, nothing
is smaller than anything else. The part represents the whole just as
the seed contains the whole."
This site offers a wide variety of
translations which have a slightly different slant and meaning.
