From that transcendental subtle vibration arose the oḿkāra composed of three sounds. The oḿkāra has unseen potencies and manifests automatically within a purified heart. It is the representation of the Absolute Truth in all three of His phases — the Supreme Personality, the Supreme Soul and the supreme impersonal truth.
