  • OṂ—this whole world is that syllable!
Here is a further explanation of it.
The past, the present, and the future—all that is simply OṂ;
and whatever else that is beyond the three times, that also is simply OṂ—
for this brahman is the Whole.
Brahman is this self (ātman) ("ayam ātmā brahma").
  • Verses 1–2
  • Accordingly, the very self (ātman) is OṂ.
Anyone who knows this enters the self (ātman) by himself (ātman).
  • Verse 12
