“The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad
(Sanskrit: माण्डूक्य उपनिषद्, Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad)
is the shortest of all the Upanishads,
and is assigned to Atharvaveda.
It is listed as number 6
in the Muktikā canon
of 108 Upanishads.
It is in prose,
consisting of
twelve short verses,
and is associated with a
Rig Vedic school of scholars.
It discusses the syllable Aum;
presents the theory of
four states of consciousness;
and asserts that Aum is Brahman
– which is the Whole –
and that Brahman is this self (ātman).”
