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?
Ancient Hymn to OM
“Islandia”
