They're 3 energies, which unite together and are exhibited in one alphabet. They destroy all that is inauspicious, destroy death and bless us with immortality. There are 3 energies that unite together to for "AUM", they destroy all that is inauspicious, death, misery. These 3 alphabets of A,U and M are like 3 fibers of the Yagyopaveeta (thread). These 3 alphabets unite to create the resonance of Omkar.

These 3 alphabets resemble 3 states of the human mind, i.e. consciousness, subconscious's and dream state.
