\nMANDUKYA UPANISHAD<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

1.  OM is this
\nimperishable Word, OM is the Universe, and this is the exposition of OM. The
\npast, the present and the future, all that was, all that is, all that will be,
\nis OM. Likewise all else that may exist beyond the bounds of Time, that too is
\n<\/b>OM.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2. All this
\nUniverse is the Eternal Brahman, this Self is the Eternal, and the Self is
\nfourfold.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. He whose
\nplace is the wakefulness, who is wise of the outward, who has seven limbs, to
\nwhom there are nineteen doors, who feels and enjoys gross objects,
\nVaishwanara<\/span>, the Universal Male, <\/b>He is the
\nfirst.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4. He whose
\nplace is the dream, who is wise of the inward, who has seven limbs, to whom
\nthere are nineteen doors, who feels and enjoys subtle objects,
\nTaijasa<\/span>, the Inhabitant in Luminous Mind, <\/b>He
\nis the second.<\/span> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

5. When one
\nsleeps and yearns not with any desire, nor sees any dream,
\nthat<\/span> is the perfect slumber. He whose place is the perfect slumber, who
\nis become Oneness, who is wisdom gathered into itself, who is made of mere
\ndelight, who enjoys delight unrelated, to whom conscious mind is the door,
\nPrajna<\/span>, the Lord of Wisdom, He is the third.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6.  This is the
\nAlmighty, this is the Omniscient, this is the Inner Soul, this is the Womb of
\nthe Universe, this<\/span> is the Birth and Destruction of
\ncreatures.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

7. He who is neither inward-wise,
\nnor outward-wise, nor both inward- and outward-wise, nor wisdom self-gathered,
\nnor  possessed of wisdom, nor unpossessed<\/span> of wisdom,
\nHe Who is unseen and incommunicable, unseizable<\/span>,
\nfeatureless, un\u00adthinkable, and unnameable<\/span>, Whose
\nessentiality is awareness of the Self in its single existence, in Whom all
\nphenomena  dissolve, Who is Calm, Who is Good, Who is the One than Whom there is
\nno other, Him they deem the fourth: He is the Self, <\/b>He is the object of
\nKnowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

8. Now this the<\/span>
\nSelf, as to the imperishable Word, is <\/b>OM: and as to the letters. His
\nparts are the letters and the letters are His parts, namely, A U M.  <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

9.  The
\nWaker<\/span>, Vaishwanara<\/span>, the
\nUniversal Male, He is A, <\/b>the first letter, because of
\nInitiality<\/span> and Pervasiveness: he that knows Him for
\nsuch pervades and attains all his desires: he becomes the source and first.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

10. The
\nDreamer, Taijasa<\/span>, the Inhabitant in Luminous Mind,
\nHe is U, the second letter, because of Advance and
\nCentrality<\/span>: he that knows Him for such, advances the bounds of his
\nknowledge and rises above difference: nor of his seed is any born that knows not
\nthe Eternal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n    <\/span> <\/span> <\/span>  <\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

11. The
\nSleeper, Prajna<\/span>, the Lord of Wisdom, He is M, the
\nthird letter, because of Measure and Finality: he that knows Him for such
\nmeasures with himself the Universe and becomes the departure into the Eternal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

12. 
\nLetterless<\/span> is the fourth, the Incommunicable, the
\nend of phenomena, the Good, the One than Whom<\/span> there
\nis no other: thus is OM. He that knows is the Self and enters by his self into
\nthe Self, he that knows, he that knows.<\/span> <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
