"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ~ The Gospel According to Saint John
"More broadly, Om is said to be the primordial sound that was present at the creation of the universe. It is said to be the original sound that contains all other sounds, all words, all languages and all mantras. The Mandukya Upanishad is entirely devoted to the explanation of the syllable." ~ wikipedia
"The original form of this sense-perceived universe is primal energy. All types of energy have one common factor – they vibrate. This vibration is called nāda, cosmic music. Plato called it the music of the spheres. It is known as shabda Brahman, saguṇa Brahman, praṇava, anāhata nāda and OM. It is the voice of silence. Wherever you go, you will discover this music existing there before you. It is present everywhere, at all times." ~ Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati
