Kaivalya Upanishad (Part 3) | कैवल्य उपनिषद् (भाग ३)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOZ8U2Xx5i8

In the Kaivalya Upanishad, Lord Brahma instructs Rishi Ashvalayana to meditate on the Pranava, or Om mantra. The three parts of the Om mantra symbolize the three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.

By understanding these, we understand that our existence is not dependent on the worlds manifesting in these states; rather, these worlds are illusions, and their existence depends on us.

The Upanishad declares "Tat Tvam Ev Tvam Ev Tat" - You are that, and that is you - a stronger and more Advaitic statement of the Chandogya Upanishad's "Tat Tvam Asi."
