Soham

A spiritual discourse on the nature of the Self and the mantra "so-ham."

"What you think you are, you are not that one. That is He."

"Therefore, the mantra so-ham declares: I am That, That I am."

The speaker elucidates the concept of the Supreme Self (Sarvātmā) as the true essence of all beings. He explains that one's true identity is not the limited individual self but this universal Ātmā, and that this realization is encapsulated in the perpetual, self-declaring mantra "so-ham" (I am That).

Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar

He is the Ātmā of all. What you think you are, you are not that one. That is He. Therefore, it is a perpetual "so-ham, ham-so, so-ham, so-ham, so-ham"—"I am That, That I am." This is the mantra: so-ham. Thus, we say "so-ham, ham-so," and this mantra expresses "I am That." Therefore, the mantra so-ham declares: I am That, That I am.
