Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient



The word Om is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.
What do these words mean in the context of yoga?
Omnipotent is having an almighty or infinite power.
Omnipresent is being present everywhere at the same time.
Omniscient is having infinite awareness, understanding and insight.
By beginning the yoga sadhana with the chant Om, which is the seed of any idea, word or thought, we offer our prayers to the almighty or infinite power. 
Om is everything that cannot be seen, touched or felt. 
It is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.
Fitting I think that all these words begin with Om.

Namaste.
Pamela Nelson
