Om is a single sacred syllable here, not a verse with a literal sentence-by-sentence translation. The supplied explanation describes its devotional use.

How can I begin?

Naam is remembrance of a divine name. Formal mantra practice may have rules specific to a lineage. Keep your breathing natural; you do not need to hold your breath, force concentration or finish a fixed count.

Choose a clean, comfortable place. Read the meaning and learn the words slowly. For general remembrance, there is no count, mala or fixed time imposed here. Learn formal vows within your own tradition.
