34 - Mantram 4.2: “On Your Marks” – Eyeing the Target
1
yad archimat yad anubhyo anu cha, = That which is luminous, subtler than the subtlest;
2
yasmin lokaa nihitaa lokinah cha; = in which the worlds & all inhabitants are seated;
3
tad etad aksharam brahma, = Know That as the Indestructible Reality:
4
sa praanah tad u vaang manah, = He is the life-force, as well as speech and mind;
5
tad etat satyam, tad amritam, = That is this Reality, That is Immortality.
6
tat veddhavyam somya viddhi. = That is the target. O dear youth, penetrate That!
===============================================================
In lines reminiscent of the first few mantrasof Chapter 3, we have again a description
of the Supreme Purusha. This time it is for the student to set Him as his Target or Goal, and
shoot it with the arrow of meditation! We are now in the practical part of the text. The
thoughts may be familiar, but their purpose is now to drive us to our meditation seat, not
remain in our armchairs.
===============================================================
1
Yat Archimat – As in the last mantram, we keep our mind focused on the self-luminous
nature of the Self. By Its Light, all else shines. This takes us forward to the subtlety of
Brahman.
2
Lokaah, Lokinah – Where are we being told to see these two qualities? We remind
ourselves that this text has adopted the Macrocosm as the path to the Supreme, not the
individual microcosm. Hence, we are to keep our attention focussed on the vast cosmos. We
are being directed not to lose sight of the fact that we should feel our Presence as being all
the worlds and all the dwellers of these worlds. Naturally, it is a huge task, but we have to
start getting out of our narrow ego-self. We cannot carry our ego with us on this journey.
3
Aksharam – The support of the whole universe is the Supreme Indestructible
Brahman; that is where we are to concentrate our consciousness on. Anything that is
perishable has to be put aside, since Brahman does not lie there.

4
Sah Pranah – He is our very Life principle; He is in our very speech and mind. It
needs total silence and 100% attention to attempt this exercise to sift out the Real from that
which appears to be real. We are to go deep and find the Real substratum.
That is the exercise. Do we need anything more to begin? No, only an assurance that
we are on the right road. Hence, a repetition of the assurance is made at this point…
5
Tadetat Satyam – We have for the third time in the book so far the words Tadetat
Satyam, which emphatically declare that this is the Truth without doubt. The Rishi, having
already walked the Path, knows how important it is for us to reassure ourselves on this
difficult journey to the Unknown.
Tad Amritam – as though that assurance is not enough, the fruit that awaits us is
mentioned for greater encouragement. It is nothing short of Immortality. Is it not worth it?
How can we now abandon this journey before reaching that Goal! It would be unthinkable
to stop and retrace our steps.
6
Tad Veddhavyam – It is also that which we are going to soon penetrate, or shoot
at, with our mind and intellect in meditation. Here is the instruction for the moment, the
most important moment – NOW. With superhuman effort, we are called to give our best
attention NOW, to bring all our energies to one point – on the Target, the Supreme Being.
“Hence, O dear disciple! Be in readiness. Get your mind focused on that
Imperishable – for soon you are going to ‘shoot’ at it with full concentration!”
Acharyaji gave us a beautiful example quoted by Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa. He
used to ask his disciples to imagine a fly approaching a large lake of nectar. What would it
do first? The disciples gave various answers, most common being that the fly would go to
the edge of the lake and pull to its heart’s content the nectar from it.
Sri Ramakrishna laughed at them all. He said, “Being nectar the fly would have the
faith that it cannot die. So it would just blindly go and dart straight into the centre of the
lake. And why not have the whole body bathed in the sacred nectar!” That is the spirit that
is encouraged in the disciple at this key juncture in his life.

3. Till 2014 nation was ruled by corrupt idiots,and all regions too, Dynasty rule dominated than Nation intrests.
4. Brushing away main stream population sides and muslims and christians become political parties vote banks.
5. Communists openly abused our ancient culture, upanishads,Ramayana, Mahabharatham, Bhagavtham and daites.
6. The communists next donkey group, latest stunt of America visit and the comedy programme namely kerala sabha!? these buggers detroyed Kerala in all and joining with radical islam soon they will be eliminated, people of Kerala get up from donkey thoughts, otherwise kerala shrink to extinct in all way
7. Communists are danger to our civilisation, their lunatic theories disappered through out the world, Time has come crush them, and eliminate them from our nation, they are danger to this holy nation.
================================================================
