MUNDAKOPANISHAD

CHAPTER-3.

SECTION-2.

MANTRAM-1.{Desireless  men  get  liberated  by  worshipping  "A Knower  of  Brahmam" }

Discussion-5. "In  the  Sun  there  is  no  Darkness" ...."In  pure  Wisdom  there  cannot  be  any  trace  of  Ignorance "

The  Brahmam  here  mentioned  is  the  "Conditioned  Brahmam"   and  not  the  "Unconditioned  Supreme  Reality"   ---  here  mention  is  made  of  Brahmam  which  is  the  material  cause  for  the  world  of  names  and  forms,  that  bang  upon  our  cognition  at  every  moment.

In  short,  it  is  the  Brahmam  conditioned  in  "Avidya"    that  is  meant  here,  and  not  the  Pure  Knowledge-Absolute,  beyond  all  traces  of  both  "Vidya  and  Avidya."

 In  this  connection ,  it  is  profitable  to  note  that  Knowledge  or  Pure  Consciousness  is  the  light  that  illumines  within  us  both  the  ideas  of  ignorance  as  well  as  the  concepts  of  knowledge.

Just  as  in  the  Sun  there  is  no  darkness,  it  being  nothing  but  a  mass  of  light,  so  too,  "IN  PURE  WISDOM  THERE  CANNOT  BE  ANY  TRACE  OF  IGNORANCE"      


"THIS  IS  THE  THING  THAT  IS  NOT  PRESENT  TODAY  IN  STUDENTS, PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND  THE  PUBLIC ( INCLUDES ALL A.....Z)

 Mantram-1. Discussions END...

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

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
