The sacred ‘Om’ sound is Brahman. All this is the syllable ‘Om’.
‘Om’ – This verily is compliance and with the chanting of Om they start their singing of the Sama verses; and with ‘Om Som’ they recite the Shastras. The Adhvaryu answers with syllable ‘Om’. With ‘Om’ the chief priest Brahma expresses his assent. One permits the offering of oblation to the fire with ‘Om’. May I obtain the Brahman – with this determination the brahmana says ‘Om’ before he begins to recite the Veda; and he does obtain the Brahman.
