\nThe Mandoukya Upanishad <\/font><\/b>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\nBefore which one repeats the Mantra.<\/i>
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nOM. May we hear what is auspicious with our ears, O ye Gods;
\nmay we see what is auspicious with our eyes, O ye of the sacrifice; giving praise with steady limbs, with motionless bodies, may we
\nenter into that life which is founded in the Gods.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\nOrdain weal unto us Indra of high-heaped glories; ordain
\nweal unto us Pushan, the all-knowing Sun; ordain weal unto us Tarkshya Arishtanemi; Brihaspati ordain weal unto us. OM.
\nPeace! peace! peace! <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 1. OM is this imperishable Word, OM is the Universe, and
\nthis is the exposition of OM. The past, the present and the future, all that was, all that is, all that will be, is OM.
\nLikewise all else that may exist beyond the bounds of Time, that too is OM.
\n\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 2. All this Universe is the Eternal Brahman, this Self is the Eternal, and the Self is fourfold.

\n 3. He whose place is the wakefulness, who is wise of the outward, who has seven limbs, to whom there are nineteen doors, who feeleth and enjoyeth gross objects, Vaiswanor,
\nthe Universal Male, He is the first. <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 4. He whose place is the dream, who is wise of the inward, who
\nhas seven limbs, to whom there are nineteen doors, who feeleth and enjoyeth subtle objects, Taijasa, the Inhabitant
\nin Luminous Mind, He is the second. <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 5. When one sleepeth and yearneth not with any desire, nor
\nseeth any dream, that is the perfect slumber. He whose place is the perfect slumber, who is become Oneness, who is wisdom gathered into itself, who is made of mere delight, who enjoyeth delight unrelated, to whom conscious mind is the
\ndoor, Prajna, the Lord of Wisdom, He is the third. <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 6. This is the Almighty, this is the Omniscient, this is the Inner
\nSoul, this is the Womb of the Universe, this is the Birth and Destruction of creatures.
\n\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 7. He who is neither inward-wise, nor outward-wise, nor both
\ninward and outward wise, nor wisdom self-gathered, nor possessed of wisdom, nor unpossessed of wisdom, He Who

is unseen and incommunicable, unseizable, featureless, unthinkable, and unnameable, Whose essentiality is awareness of the Self in its single existence, in Whom all phenomena
\ndissolve, Who is Calm, Who is Good, Who is the One than Whom there is no other, Him they deem the fourth; He is
\nthe Self, He is the object of Knowledge. <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 8. Now this the Self, as to the imperishable Word, is OM; and
\nas to the letters, His parts are the letters and the letters are His parts, namely, A U M.
\n\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 9. The Waker, Vaiswanor, the Universal Male, He is A, the first letter, because of Initiality and Pervasiveness; he that
\nknoweth Him for such pervadeth and attaineth all his desires; he becometh the source and first.
\n\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 10. The Dreamer, Taijasa, the Inhabitant in Luminous Mind, He is U, the second letter, because of Advance and Centrality;
\nhe that knoweth Him for such, advanceth the bounds of his knowledge and riseth above difference; nor of his seed is
\nany born that knoweth not the Eternal. <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n 11. The Sleeper, Prajna, the Lord of Wisdom, He is M, the third
\nletter, because of Measure and Finality; he that knoweth Him for such measureth with himself the Universe and
\nbecometh the departure into the Eternal.
\n<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n12. Letterless is the fourth, the Incommunicable, the end of phenomena, the Good, the One than Whom there is no other; thus is OM. He that knoweth is the Self and entereth by his
\nself into the Self, he that knoweth, he that knoweth.

\nenter into that life which is founded in the Gods.

\nOrdain weal unto us Indra of high-heaped glories; ordain
