He who, knowing this thus, utters this syllable as the praṇava enters this very syllable — the sound that is immortal and fearless; and having entered it, he becomes immortal as the gods are immortal.

The parable's phala-śruti — and it is daring: sa ya etad evaṁ vidvān akṣaraṁ praṇauti — "he who, knowing thus, utters the syllable" — etad evākṣaraṁ svaram amṛtam abhayaṁ praviśati — "enters this syllable": not "pronounces" but enters: the syllable is spacious enough to live in; a sound is an abode (the Muṇḍaka bade one "enter the target as an arrow").
tat praviśya yad amṛtā devās tad amṛto bhavati — "having entered, he becomes immortal — with that [immortality] by which the gods are immortal": a man is promised equality with the gods in their best possession — and by the same road: not through the texts (death sees through those) but by an entering into sound. So the first adhyāya mints again and again its chief point: Oṁ is not about something; Oṁ is a door; the knowledge of the syllable is not information but a change of dwelling.
