Mundaka-Upanishad :


Santi Mantram :


Discussion-3. "The  great  Masters in  the  Upanishads   ......  knew  no  desire,  nor  the  sense  world,  which  they  had  enquired  into  and  discovered  to  be  hollow  and  riddled  with  carping  sorrows,  held  any  attraction  for  them.

They  prayed  only  for  the  cultural  evolution  of  the  entire  kingdom  of  beings.

This  national  character  of  of  the  'Vedik' period  is  stamped  so  faithfully  in  the  words  of  the  'Santi Mantram' in  each  of  the  Upanishads.

Both  the  Master  and  disciple  sincerely  wished  and  prayed  that  they  should,  during  their  spiritual  life,  see  and  hear  nothing  but  auspiciousness.

The  sense-organs ---  the  eyes  and  ears  are  the  great  grand-trunk-roads  through  which  Satan  enters  the  realm  of  Godly,  within  man.

The  other  sense  objects  do  not  so  directly  pave  a  way  to  the  mental  suicides  in  man.

Both  the  outer  scenes  of  viciousness  and  the  inner  murmurs  of  foul  intentions  directly  sweep  us  in  front  of  them  and  defile  the  edifice  of  spiritualism  in  our  heart;  hence  the  great  prayer  of  the  'Vedik' Seers  that  they  should  hear  and  see  nothing  but  goodness  and  purity.

        
Next : Discussion - 4.  Here  in  the  prayer  of  the  'Vedik  Masters' we  have  the  'Das Capita  of  the  Hindu-s ......
  
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...
