According to Patanjali, Y.S. I.27, Ishvaara is the referent of the pranava
(OM). Thus the pranava (OM) is not just a name for Ishvara (which could be a
mere convention) but is the shabda (the actual sound vibration of Ishvara
expressed through human speech).
OM is the doorway to Ishvara. Read Shankara's commentary (vivarana) on this
sutra and the other Ishvara topics in the yogasutras and you will also
understand why Ishvara is much greater than any Buddha.
Read it and weep, Vaj.
