The three letters represent the Brahman or Supreme Self in its three degrees of status, the Waking Soul, the Dream Soul and the Sleep Soul and the whole potent sound rises towards that which is beyond status as beyond activity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/concentration#p3</ref>
==Attachment==
Attachment means that you desire or need or depend on a thing or a person so much that you cannot do without it or him, and are always trying to keep the thing or be with the person or somehow in touch with him. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/35/inadvisability-of-forming-special-relations#p8</ref>
Attachment to things : the physical rejection of them is not the best way to get rid of it. Accept what is given you, ask for what is needed and think no more of it - attaching no importance, using them when you have, not troubled if you have not. That is the best way of getting rid of the attachment. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/24/transformation-of-the-vital-xi#p20</ref>
