AUM

 

AUM

Shiva is the one who knows Aum most, like the mixing of the time worlds, in the stillness of now.

He knows not only the essential Oneness of all things, but also enables the Universe to bring forth and introduce characters into the Divine play. And then, at the end of time, He reduces a whole infinity to a dot. And the dot crowns the Aum, represented by the syllable ॐ. Shiva knows, because Shiva , is ॐ .
