It is the Jewel in the Lotus Flower of Life which causes the contemplating yogi to exclaim: "Om mani padme hum" (Oh, the Jewel in the Lotus!)[1] He has seen the 'Burning Bush' which Moses saw in the wilderness.[2] It is the flame or Jyoti in the 'Akash' [akasha, aakaasha] Region, which supplies the Universal Power for the material creation.[3] It is the 'Yod' of the 'Yod-He-Vau-He', the 'Jehovah' of the Israelites, etc.[4] The Flame is the same, only the names differ according to language and creed.
