The cosmic vibration of the combination of sacred sounds includes the manifested (conscious) and unmanifest (unconscious) world, as well as its intermediate state and subconsciousness. All sounding segments together have a peculiar vibrational frequency and represent the existence and manifestation of higher consciousness.
