 CHAPTER-3.


SECTION-1.


MANTRAM-3. { Annihilation  of  sorrow  through  God  realization  Continued  .....}


Discussion-1. "Discovering  the  Reality  behind  the  unreal ......."


As  aspirant,  during  his  seeking,  is  but  a  deluded  ego  striving  hard  to  discover  for  himself  the  Reality  behind  the  unreal,  the  true  among  false.

But  every  aspirant  of  truth  seeking  is  the  "SEER"  of  tomorrow.

When  the  aspirant,  through  meditation,  has  successfully  and  completely  withdrawn  his  entire  attention  from  the  outer  world  of  sense-objects  and  his  inner  world  of  thoughts  and  feeling,  he  releases  within  himself  a  mighty  power  of  energy  free  for  application.

It  is  the  job  of  the  seeker  to  make  use  of  this  newly  generated  energy  in  discovering  the  very  bowels  of  "TRUTH" that  lie  within  himself.

Next : Discussion-2. "Awareness  ...."

To be continued  ......    


know the self, know the self in Nature, know the self in Jiva, Further Oneness.

04/06/2019 Tat Tvam Asi – You Are That! – Chandogya Upanishad Uddalaka had a son called Svetaketu. When he was twelve, his father said to him, “It is time for you to find a spiritual teacher. Everyone in this family has studied the holy scriptures and the spiritual way.” So Svetaketu went to a teacher and studied the scriptures for twelve years. He returned home very proud of his intellectual knowledge. His father observed him and said, “My boy, you seem to have a high opinion of yourself; you are proud of your learning. But did you ask your teacher for the spiritual knowledge that enables you to hear the unheard, think the unthought and know the unknown?” “What is that knowledge, Father?” asked Svetaketu. “Just as by knowing a lump of clay, everything that is made of clay can be known, since any differences are only words, and the essential reality is clay. In the same way, by knowing a piece of gold, all that is made of gold can be known, since any differences are only wo
