Shat.Upa 05.02

sa yadyekamātramabhidhyāyīta sa tenaiva saṃveditastūrṇameva jagatyāmabhisampadyate। tamṛco manuṣyalokamupanayante। sa tatra tapasā brahmacaryeṇa śraddhayā sampanno mahimānamanubhavati॥

If a person meditates on a single measure, i.e. single syllable (of Om), he becomes realized through that and swiftly attains the realm of the human world in the universe. There, endowed with austerity, celibacy, and faith, he experiences true greatness.

atha yadi dvitīyamātreṇa manasi sampadyate so'ntarikṣaṃ yajurbhirunnīyate somalokam। sa somaloke vibhūtimanubhūya punarāvartate॥

Then, if he has the second measure or syllable (of 'Om') in the mind, he is led by the Yajur Veda to the sky, to the world of Soma. There, having experienced special opulences, he returns again.

yaḥ punaretaṃ trimātreṇomityetenaivākṣareṇa paraṃ puruṣamabhidhyāyīta sa tejasi sūrye sampanno yathā pādodarasvacā vinirmucyate evaṃ ha vai sa pāpmanā vinirmuktaḥ sa sāmabhirunnīyate brahmalokam। sa etasmājjīvaghanāt parātparaṃ puriśayaṃ puruṣamīkṣate ॥2॥

Whoever meditates on the Supreme Being using the syllable 'Om', which consists of three parts (Ā, Ū, M), becomes enlightened by the sun's light and is liberated just as a snake sheds its skin. In this way, he is truly freed from sin and ascends with the hymns to the realm of Brahman. In this dense existence of beings, he perceives the Supreme Being residing within the physical bodies of beings, who transcends.

Bhāṣya 05.02

By meditating on Lord Hari with the syllable 'Om', one attains knowledge from Lord Brahma after reaching Brahmaloka, and is liberated.

praṇavena hariṃ dhyāyan brahmalokaṃ sametya ca। jñānaṃ caturmukhātprāpya mucyate nātra saṃśayaḥ॥

By meditating on Lord Hari with the syllable 'Om' and reaching Brahmaloka, one attains knowledge from Lord Brahma and is liberated without any doubt.
