Hmm...

...what shall I write

Even as I write the title, my outgoing breath actually said Hmm...and an 'R' added to it will make it the Pranava Mantra 'Hreem.'
Speaking of Mantras, it was an unusual experience today at the traffic signal. All sorts of vehicle sounds roaring, whining and whimpering around me like sound waves of different frequencies. Just about me there is sound. It is sound that circulates within me too, around a core field of Nischalam - Unmoving Silence.
Once earlier as I was just staring into the sky, it dawned upon me that at any point of time and place, there is, outside the noises of the whole world, in empty space total silence. In that field of emptiness and silence, sounds and visual images pop up once in a while and get subsumed in no second. This I saw was what we call manifestation.
Looking at various objects, whether it is the sun, people or things - I realised that my seeing and understanding has got nothing to do with the presence of the object. My light of awareness is cast on the person or thing when I open my eyes and that is what enables me to see. All movement and cognition happen in this supremely massive field of awareness - the limitless, eternal vast.
