A study of the Bhagavadgita verse 2.45 is made in this essay. The verse

affords several viewpoints and these are analyzed in the light of many

scriptural statements.

On the lighter side:

 

The shortest commentary for the entire veda is Om.

 

sarve veda yatpadamaamananti

tapaamsisarvani yadvadanti

yadichchanto brahmacharyam caranti

tatte padam sangrahena braveemi OM ityetat.

Dear Tanya-ji,

You are absolutely right. Om is the essence of all the vedas.

Best wishes,

S.N.Sastri

Dear Tanya Ji,

 

Namaste. I second Sri Sastri ji and add one more thing.

 

Om is both a symbol for Brahman and also Brahman Itself.

 

With regards,

Anupam.

Namaste.

 

The Mandukya Upanishad commences with the declaration:

 

Chapter I – Agama Prakarana (The Chapter based on Vedic Testimony)

 

//I. Harih Aum! AUM, the word, is all this, the whole universe. A clear

explanation of it is as follows: All that is past, present and future is,

indeed, AUM. And whatever else there is, beyond the threefold division of

time—that also is truly AUM. //

 

Shankaracharya clarifies:// As all these objects that are indicated by names are

non-different from the names, and as names are non-different from Om, so Om is

verily all this....the past, the present and the future...is but Om. ..and

whatever else there is that is ...not limited by time..that too is verily Om.//

 

Thus, the Mandukya Upanishad presents Om as the essence of the created universe.

The Upanishad shows how Om is the essence of the universe as also how Om

constitutes the 'name' of the universe. The 'rule' Shankaracharya points out

is: the 'named' is non-different from the 'name', as per the vAchArambhaNa

Shruti. Thereby the entire universe is reduced to an appearance, negated and

Brahman/Atman is retained as the residual unnegatable entity. All this is done

by the Upanishad itself. In this way the Upanishad itself is the 'commentary'

to Om, the essence of the created world.
