Aum is a symbol of silent music in the inner being full of bliss

If one reaches that state, transcending the mind, dropping all thoughts and instead becoming a watcher of the mind, the silent music will surface within. In the painting titled Serenity, the fragrance of pure silent sound has been depicted through the symbol of Aum along with a shloka from the Mandukya Upanishad: Esa Sarvesvara Esa Sarvajna, Esontaryamy. Esa Yonih Sarvasya Prabhavapyayau Hi Bhutanam —‘This is the lord of all, this is the knower of all, this is the inner controller, this is the source of all, and this is the beginning and the end of beings’.
