The Taittiriya Upanishad
Translated by Alladi Mahadeva Sastry

Book 1

LESSON 8

1. 'Om' is Brahman. 'Om' is this all.

2. Om! -- this verily is compliance; and on uttering 'O recite,' they begin to recite. With Om they sing samans. 'Om! Som!' -- with this do they tell the prayers. 'Om!' -- thus does the Adhvaryu convey acceptance. 'Om!' -- thus assents the Brahma (priest). 'Om!' --t hus one permits the offering of an oblation to Fire. 'Om!' -- thus says the brahmana who is about to recite. "May I obtain Brahman;" -- thus wishing, Brahman verily does he obtain.
