The knowledge gained through meaning of the statements is called "shravana". The reconciling of that meaning using logic is called "manana".
Using verses like number 44, with the help of "you are that" and other great statements, the meaning in terms of the oneness of the soul and brahman, the investigation into that is called "shravana". From verse 3 to verse 43, investigation into the meaning indicated by hearing these verses is called "manana". (Or, fixing the meaning of the verses in the mind is called hearing).
