In the last two Sutras Patanjali spoke of the Pranava, OM, and the need to concentrate on this.
As I posted earlier all the sounds originate from three places in the human body, Mouth,a-Throat ,u and from the pit of the stomach M.
From the se sounds came words and language,
Language, nay sounds exist with a corresponding image.
When a sound is made an image flashes in or mind.
At times we may not be able to identify these images.
It is wisdom of the Vedas that there is NO Sound without a corresponding image.
The images we do not recognize are those that spring from our unconscious which is Universal Consciousness.
The Mantras and the Japas of these Mantras help one to unleash the human potential.
Words and their meanings can not be separated.
So much so the Great Poet Dramatist Kalidasa opens his Raghuvamsa with this sloka,
”
புல்லும் பரிமளப் பூங்கொடியே. நின் புதுமலர்த் தாள்
அல்லும் பகலும் தொழுமவர்க்கே அழியா அரசும்
செல்லும் தவநெறியும், சிவலோகமும் சித்திக்குமே.
Tatah Pratyak Cetana Adhigamah Api Antaraya Abhavah Ca
Pratyak : individual
Cetana : consciousness
Adhigamah : understanding, realization
Api : also
Antaraya : of obstacles or impediments
Abhavah : absence , removal
Ca : and, also
From that comes Realisation of the individual Self and the obstacles are removed.
