Aitareya Upanishad, Verse 3.1.3 · Traditional (Upanishadic) · Vedic / Upanishadic

The third chapter of the Aitareya Upanishad asks: 'Who is this Self that we worship? By what does one see, hear, smell, speak and discern?' The seer answers that it is consciousness (prajnana) which presides over all the faculties and over the whole of creation — gods, sages, men, animals and the elements alike are guided by it and rest upon it. Summing up this enquiry, the Upanishad declares 'Prajnanam Brahma — Consciousness is Brahman,' establishing pure awareness as the supreme Reality.

✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ

The Upanishad concludes that the sage who knows the Self as consciousness and departs this world by it 'attains all desires in the world of light and becomes immortal' — the awakening to 'Consciousness is Brahman' being itself the crossing beyond death.

This is a mantra for contemplative insight. Sit quietly and recite 'Prajnanam Brahma', then gently inquire: 'What is the awareness in which all my thoughts, perceptions and feelings appear?' Recognize that this ever-present, knowing consciousness is itself Brahman — not produced by the mind but the very light that reveals the mind. Rest the attention in that awareness, returning to it whenever the mind wanders.

Prajnanam Brahma means 'Consciousness is Brahman'. It teaches that pure awareness — the knowing presence by which we perceive and live — is itself the supreme Reality, Brahman.

It is from the Aitareya Upanishad (3.1.3), which belongs to the Rig Veda. It is the Mahavakya, or 'great saying', associated with the Rig Veda.

Both are Mahavakyas pointing to the same non-dual truth. Prajnanam Brahma defines the nature of Brahman as consciousness, while Aham Brahmasmi is the seeker's direct realization, 'I am Brahman'. Together with Tat Tvam Asi and Ayam Atma Brahma they form the four great sayings.

Reflect that whatever you experience appears within awareness, and that this awareness is not an object but your own being. Recognize it as self-luminous and limitless, and identify with it rather than with the changing body and mind. This is the contemplation that leads to liberation.
