THE SOUND OF THE SOUL

Bhau Kalchuri

 
"Who am I?" is the question of the Original Word. "I Am God" is the answer of that Word. The question and answer are one.

The first sound of God, "OM" or "AUM" is the very Word of God. This first sound is the oceanic "M-m-m-m" that manifested originally in the form of "Who Am I?" — the question — and "I Am God" — the answer. But the question and the answer manifested simultaneously in the beginning.

The Word is Truth, and Truth is God. The Word is the sound of the soul. Every soul in reality is God, but one must become conscious of God to experience the Soul. The sound of the Soul is that Word, and the unconscious soul has to experience that Word to know it is God.

Only God can utter that Word, for it is the very sound of the Soul. In order for God to utter that Word, the unconscious soul must experience God and know that the Word is "I Am God," which is the sound of the conscious existence of the Soul.
