ॐ Tat Sat

This is the first posting on this blog and I want to start it with what, in my opinion, is the most sacred sound (ॐ) and the most ignored truth: God alone is real. The Sanskrit, tat ("that") here refers to the Supreme Being or God, and sat means "real". Compared to the reality of God, everything else is at least "less" real, the way our dreams are less real than our waking experience. There will be enough opportunities in future postings to reflect on this in a philosophically more rigorous way.
