Om is brahma. Om is this whole world.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

Om—that is compliance. As also, verily, it is well known—upon the words ‘O! Call forth!’ they call forth. With ‘Om’ they sing the Sāman chants. With ‘Om! Śom!’ they recite the Invocations of Praise (śāstra). With ‘Om’ the Adhvaryu priest utters the Response. With ‘Om’ the Brahman priest (brahma) utters the Introductory Eulogy (pra + √stu). With ‘Om’ one assents to the Agni-oblation (agnihotra). ‘Om,’ says a Brahman (brāhmaṇa) about to recite, ‘may I get the sacred word (brahma)!’ He does get the sacred word.
