TRANSLATION

After being situated in this yoga practice and vibrating the sacred syllable om, the supreme combination of letters, if one thinks of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and quits his body, he will certainly reach the spiritual planets.

JOURNAL:

Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport; The impersonal sound of Krsna is om, but the sound Hare Krsna contains om.

Where is the sound om in the maha-mantra? If one pronounces the name of Rama correctly, with a long "a", then you can easily hear the omkara within it.
