Mandukya Upanishad
Poem one on Mandukya Upanishad. I decided to explore the ten Principle Upanishads and extract the essence from them. Given that the Upanishads are themselves an extraction of the extraction of the essence of all knowledge combinedβ¦
Om, the syllable supreme,
The world and all that’s unseen.
Past, present, future entwine,
Om, the sacred sound divine.
Self, the source of all that is,
Omniscient, controller, pure bliss.
Beginning and end, eternal flame,
Om, the essence of every name.
This brief poem encapsulates the teachings of the Mandukya Upanishad, highlighting the significance of the syllable Om, the nature of the Self, and the timeless wisdom it contains.
