OMKAR

It is not a scientific approach to cite Vedas or Puranas while interpreting any objective observations that hint at resolution of any mystery. However it not an unscientific approach either to avoid connecting available inputs with those which the revered mythological texts complement or supplement or contradict. This is a legal theory which is called 'relevancy' in the law of evidence.
As a TV Channel broadcast said, NASA has recorded the sound that the Solar holocaust has been constantly producing at a wave length which scientists found impossible to  capture by or for recording. It took long effort to devise such recording which ,once done, amazed the scientists, in that the sound is a subtle Om chanting which forms substratum of the Indian spiritual system .
Leave aside the Tantrik or Yogic literatures that value Omkar as the unstruck sound recognised as the fundamental constituent of creation. Simply conceive the primary character of sound. It is an energy. It must be an effect of something struck. Try to locate any sound that your senses may pick up. Can you certify it to be unstruck, caused by no collision or friction or whatever? Clapping, for instance, is the result of  your palms coming together. Dont allow the oalms to join, and then try to produce the sound you generate by clapping. Can you? No? That is to say that sound we hear has to be struck, by whatever means.
Now let us do some observation, leaving aside any belief or faith systems which an honest scientific observation would prohibit.
Simply collect and consolidate your attention and focus it on your natural breath, ensuring simply that you dont interfere with its natural rhythm. Do it for a minute or two. There is an ongoing natural friction that the natural breath is generating. Dont presume it, just observe and find out. Dont import any external definitions, just observe and find out whether the friction occasioned by your involuntary inhalation and exhalation is soundless. If you really find it is soundless, you have to further explore whether your hearing sense has been over powered by the external noise or may be you have to sharpen your sense of hearing so that the sound emerging from the closest arena does not escape reception.
Once you begin to pick it up, do nothing save and except picking it up in its existing form, without giving it a name, colour , meaning or definition. Let the mind define it by reflection. Give it a free hand.
Once you succeed, the exercise would lead to an opening and questions would begin to not just arise, but answered too.
