OM
Cannot be seen
with eyes,
Nor heard with
ears,
Nor felt with the
hand.
OM is great because
OM
Is what man cannot
understand.
Does OM bid you
do evil?
Does OM bid you
do good?
Evil and good are
alike to OM.
Go not to OM for
guidance in petty matters.
But it is well
for men to sit in the halls of OM.
And, so sitting,
to be lost in his darkness.
And, so sitting,
to be dazzled by his brightness.
And to know that
OM is.
I am in the field
before the rain.
I am seeking my
horses in the hills.
Am I not pleasing
to OM,
I, man, walker
on the ground, son of OM?
