Discourse 1
The Music of Om
The Music of Om
7 December 1987 am in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium
Question 1
BELOVED MASTER,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE FAMOUS
TIBETAN MANTRA, ”OM MANI PADME HUM”?
Maneesha, the only country in the world which has devoted all its
genius to the inner exploration is Tibet. Its findings are of
tremendous value. 'Om mani padme hum' is one of the most
beautiful expressions for the ultimate experience. Its meaning is ”the
sound of silence, the diamond in the lotus.”
Silence also has its sound, its music... although the outer ears
cannot hear it, just as the outer eyes cannot see it. We have six
outer senses. In the past man knew only that we have five outer
senses; the sixth is a new discovery. It is inside your ears; hence
people failed to recognize it. It is the sense of balance. When you
feel giddy or when you see a drunkard walking, it is the sense of
balance that is affected...
Question 2
BELOVED MASTER,
CAN IT BE THAT CRYING IS MY CELEBRATION AT THE MOMENT?
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU, MY HEART IS TURNING INSIDE OUT AND A
WHOLE MONSOON IS BREAKING LOOSE, LEAVING ME
HELPLESS.
BELOVED MASTER, WHO IS IT THAT IS CRYING?
Deva Paro, it looks a little strange but it is true: you can transform
anything into a celebration. Just as you can transform any
celebration into a miserable affair – it all depends on you.
I have heard, in a small school the drawing teacher made a painting
on the board. He was a good painter, and he was showing his
students that the artist can change, just by a little touch, the whole
meaning of the painting.
It was a portrait of a man, very sad. He touched the lips and
immediately the sadness disappeared from the painting – the man
was smiling. And as the man started smiling, the whole painting had
a different perspective.
Just then a little boy stood up and said, ”This is nothing...”
