Katha Upanishad 2.17
intermediate
एतदालम्बनं श्रेष्ठमेतदालम्बनं परम्। एतदालम्बनं ज्ञात्वा ब्रह्मलोके महीयते॥
etadālambanaṃ śreṣṭhametadālambanaṃ param | etadālambanaṃ jñātvā brahmaloke mahīyate ||
""This is the best support; this is the supreme support. Knowing this support, one is honored in the world of Brahman.""
What This Means:
OM is the best thing to hold onto in meditation - the supreme support. One who knows this gains the highest spiritual state.
Going Deeper:
Alambana means "support" for meditation. OM serves as the anchor for the mind, leading to Brahma-loka (the realm of Brahman).
How To Apply This:
Use OM as your meditation support. Let it anchor your wandering mind.
