He who knows this as described above and meditates upon the imperishable Udgitha (Om) obtains all his desires by singing the Udgitha. So much for the Udgitha as meditates on with reference to the body.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad I, II – Meditation on Om as the Prana, 14
Now is described the meditation on the Udgitha with reference to the gods: One should meditate on the Udgitha as the sun who gives warmth. When he (the sun) rises he sings the Udgitha for the benefit of all creatures. When he rises he destroys darkness and fear. He who knows this becomes the destroyer of darkness and fear.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad I, III – Meditation on the Udgitha as the Sun and the Vyana, 1
This prana and that sun are the same. This is warm and that is warm. This they call svara (what goes out) and that, pratyasvara (what returns). Therefore one should meditate on the Udgitha as this and that.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad I, III – Meditation on the Udgitha as the Sun and the Vyana, 2
Aum. O terrestrial sphere! O sphere of space! O celestial sphere! Let us contemplate the splendor of the Solar Spirit, the Divine Creator. May He guide our minds.
Rig Veda (Gayatra Mantra) 3.62.10. hp, 345
O learned people, may we with our ears listen to what is beneficial, may we see with our eyes what is beneficial. May we, engaged in your praises, enjoy with firm limbs and sound bodies, a full term of life dedicated to God.
Rig Veda 1.89.8. rvp, p. 287
