Paraphrase:The Om with the Bindu signifies that we are but a drop from the Om – the sound of Creation. The Yogis always meditate upon this great Truth. We bow down to that OMKAR that grants our desires to do right and even gives us liberation.

 

The smallest unit of the Ocean is a drop. Each drop tastes as salty as the Ocean but is not the Ocean. Yet it can merge back into the Ocean when it evaporates, and falls back as rain. In the same way, every individual is a spark of divinity and has all the necessary qualities to become ONE with Him. It is the striving for Excellence that will return man to God, just as the rain drop that merges back into the sea.
