An Explanation from Yogaswami, Illumined Sage of Sri Lanka

The whole world has evolved from Om; The whole word is sustained by Om; The whole world will merge into Om- In Om resides my strength-Sivayave.

OM TAT SAT OM.

Rise ere the sun each morning and wash feet, face and hands. Weaving fresh blossoms into garlands, give worship unto God. If we curb the mind from following the senses and venerate the Lord's celestial feet, Desire can certainly be conquered, before the shock of death shall us assail. "All is truth"-as that word the sage has spoken gradually ripens in your heart, You will come to have direct perception and with cleared mind will mukti's bliss attain. There is no doubt about this whatsoever. All things are the action of the Lord. In the cave of your heart by day and night extol Him, repeating-"Om Tat Sat".

Those hearts, which ever dwell on Him in homage, are the holy temple where the Lord abides. Sitting, lying, walking-we will not cease from praise and worship. Virtue and vice are both imagination, for we are that which neither comes nor goes. Know this through Grace alone; on intellect do not depend. Coming to take birth and living in this world is itself a great illusion. This great ascetics know-not others; so to that impart not importance. We can live for countless ages! Of nothing need you be afraid; But, moving as you please, be ever giving praise. Om Tat Sat!

The joy of rearing Siva in our heart is now reality. The concept of a separate God henceforth is dead and gone. Of the vainly roaming mind we will be master, nor will we travel by the senses' path. We will fully know the Atma, as the Truth that nothing can destroy. We will go the way of tapas and, heeding the guru's word, the Self itself will come to realize. Peace, patience and the good work that befits us will always be for us our ornaments. Liking and disliking have both fled into hiding. In nothing are we lacking! All is truth! Repeat each day-"Om Tat Sat Om"!
