The 3rd mitzvah is that we are commanded to acquire knowledge of the nature of G-d's Unity, i.e. to understand that the Original Creator and Source of all existence is One.
This mitzvah commands us to recognize and internalize the absolute oneness of Hashem. He is not composed of parts, nor does He share His authority with any other force. This principle, proclaimed daily in the Shema, is the cornerstone of Jewish faith. It calls for an awareness that Hashem is the sole source of existence and that all multiplicity in the world flows from His singular will.
