Ôm Tat Sat: these words stand for the liberated mind by which priests, scriptures, and rituals were appointed in ancient times. Therefore, the word Ôm is always chanted, by those who expound the scriptures, to begin an act of worship, control, or charity. Tat—which means “That,” “the Absolute”— is chanted by seekers of freedom whenever they perform right actions with no concern for results.
