According to the answer to the Fifth Question in the Prasna Upanishad, OM or
AUM has three sounds. We read: "But if, with the three sounds of the eternal OM,
he places his mind in meditation upon the Supreme Spirit, he comes to the regions of light of the sun....the wise
who merge them into a harmony of union in outer, inner and middle actions becomes steady: he trembles no more....with
the help of the OM, the sage goes to those regions that the seers know in the harmonies of the
Sama-Veda. There he finds
the peace of the Supreme Spirit where there is no dissolution or death and where there is no fear".
The Katha Upanishad has:
"The goal, which all Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at, and which humans desire when they live a life of continence, I will tell you briefly it is Aum"
"The one syllable [eva-ks.ara, viz. Aum] is indeed Brahman. This one syllable is the highest. Whosoever knows this one syllable obtains all that he desires.
"This is the best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahma." (1.2.15-17)[1]
The Chandogya Upanishad (1.1.1-1) states:
om ity etad aks.aram udgi-tham upa-si-ta / om iti hy udga-yati / tasyopavya-khya-nam
"The udgitha ["the chanting", that is, the syllable om] is the best of all essences, the highest, deserving the highest place, the eighth."
The Bhagavad Gita (8.13) has:
Uttering the monosyllable Aum, the eternal world of Brahman, One who departs leaving the body (at death), he attains the superior goal.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali states in verse (1:27):
"tasya vacakah pranavah" which translates as, "God's voice is Aum."
In the following sutra it emphasizes, "The repetition of Om should be made with an understanding of its meaning".
Sit, rest, become mindful, sense into the stillness, notice that you Are, abide in that I Am.
