OM: Transcending the Self

0M: Transcending the Self
In the Secret Doctrine H. P. Blavatsky references the great Mandukya Upanishad several times with regards to the "Omniscient, Eternal, Boundless, and Immutable Principle" established in the First Fundamental Proposition. A mere 12 verses long, the Mandukya delineates the four stages of waking, sleeping, deep sleeping and transcendental consciousness. It uses the Sanskrit mantra OM, in the spelling AUM to assist us in integrating this into our lives.
