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
