Katha Upanishad 2.16
intermediate
एतद्ध्येवाक्षरं ब्रह्म एतद्ध्येवाक्षरं परम्। एतद्ध्येवाक्षरं ज्ञात्वा यो यदिच्छति तस्य तत्॥

etaddhyevākṣaraṃ brahma etaddhyevākṣaraṃ param | etaddhyevākṣaraṃ jñātvā yo yadicchati tasya tat ||

""This syllable OM is indeed Brahman. This syllable is indeed the supreme. Whoever knows this syllable obtains whatever they desire.""

What This Means:

OM is Brahman itself - the supreme reality. Knowing the true meaning of OM grants all wishes because you become one with the source of all.

Going Deeper:

"Akshara" means both "syllable" and "imperishable." OM is the imperishable Absolute in sound form.

How To Apply This:

Chant OM with understanding, not mechanically. Know it as the Imperishable itself.
