The Natural Cries are in Praise of God within us
What is a praise to God? Is it singing any prayer or crying for help or even scolding in despair?
It came to me today that there are a few words that are uttered not as words belonging to any particular language but those that come out from our own within. These words are very natural for any human being (and perhaps even animals) and across all boundaries of faith or non-faith.
Assume you are totally exhausted for the day, helpless to the core, unable to even stand up on your foot, forget taking even a step forward. In that condition of helplessness, few words emanate naturally from your mouth; repeat 'naturally' and not by the effect of any pre-conditioning of the mind that you might have undergone earlier due to some religion that you follow or have been made to follow.
These words could be:-
a) अम्मे (Ammae / Amen) [http://penguinbooks]
b) ॐ (Aum / Om) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om]
c) अऌः (Allah) [http://allah-in-sanskrit]
All these words are words of elevation that tries to uplift or restore any deficient energy. The initial premise being that our original state of happiness is divinity which reduced within us in due course of our material existence.
These words when uttered in desperation alleviates our grief as well as any bodily discomfort.
अम्मे also means Mother. Our gratitude to the creator is expressed by this word. It is quite a natural word and relieving when uttered in grief. The sigh of relief that this word can give is immense. It gives more of emotional relief than physical relief. It also signifies Creation or Srishti (सृष्टि).
ॐ is also known as the Pranava mantram. It is assumed that there are Nine ventilators (नव द्वारं Nava-Dwaaram) for our body. The word ॐ supports and energizes these nine ventilators that are essential for the proper sustenance of our body and therefore subsequently generates happiness in the mind. Chanting this word opens up all the entry and exit points in the desired & proper way. It therefore denotes spiritual relaxation. The pranavam also signifies preservation and existence or Stithi (स्थिति).
अऌः generates physical energy so as to relieve pain; especially when it is uttered very softly. When uttered aloud, it exposes the bottom of the tongue and therefore releases lot of water content along with air. It also signifies culmination or annihilation or Samhaaram (संहारम्).
These three therefore corresponds to Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The first may be thought to be similar to Christian faith and the Old Testament and to Brahma in the likeliness of the Commandments and the rules and restriction that are set upon the newly born by the heavenly Mother who is the Creator. The second is of preservation and belong to the Vaishnava services. The third is of destruction and culmination of the existence where the Shiva, the Lord of the Lord of Justice (Yama) controls the nature of death.
The commandments are for us to follow told at the time of birth. What we follow depends upon the factors of humility & peaceful co-existence quotient we obtained during our existence and the way we dealt with others including every creature or thing of this universe. The death is achieved in that form according to the law of karma that we followed during our existence. While this could be seen as verily human, the same might be true for any living or non-living object in this world. (The rules have been framed by Manu in this Kalpa.)
