Prashnopanishd-Part
V
The next one to approach Pippalada Muni was
Sathyakaaman (son of Sibi). He put forth the following question:
“Bhagavan, one who contemplates on omkara
allthrough his life gains what world after his life upon the earth”?.
" Tasmai sahovaacha ethadwaisathyakaamaparam chaaparam
Cha
Brahma yadomkara: thasmaadwidwaanaethe naivaetha
nenaika
haramanwethi” – Part 5: 2
[ Hey
Sathyakaama, this omkara is Parabrhma and Aparabrahma (Soul and the Super
Soul). One who realizes this truth attains immortality].
The
following stanza makes it clear that one who meditates on eka maatra omkara
will become prosperous. He attains glory by thapas (meditation in the soul),
brahmacharya and sradha(concentration).
Stanza IV states that one who contemplates
on dwi maatra Omkara attains chandraloka. After enjoying all the pleasures there
he comes back to the human world.
In stanza V we get the idea that one who
continuously meditates trimaathra omkara attains the glorious Suryaloka or the
world of the Sun. Just as the snake sheds its skin, he becomes free from all
his sins and reaches the Brahmaloka or Heaven.

[One
who comprehends the importance of three dimensions of Omkara will gain
knowledge about Paramaatma or the Supreme Being].
