Mundaka-Upanishad


Chapter-1,


Section-1,


Mantra-9. ( "Summing  up" )


Discussion-2. "two  expressions,  "Sarvajnah  and  Sarvavid" ------


The  Supreme  Reality,  the  Light  of  the  Intelligence,  is  nothing  but  Pure  Wisdom  and  as  such  it  is  'generally' aware  of  all  happenings in  the  entire  cosmos,  and  it  being  the  Light  that  illumines  every  mental  wave  in  the  vegetable,  animal  and  human  life,  and  it  being  the  Existence  Principle  in  everything,  that  is,  there  cannot  happen  anything  which  is  not  directly  under  the  Light  Supreme  nor  can  anything  exist  but  in  the  lap  of  Pure  Existence.


Thus,  pure  Consciousness,  being  by  nature  Absolute-Existence-Knowledge,  knows  everthing  and  it  knows  every  detail  of  all  that  it  knows,  says  Mother  Sruti.

The  pregnant  import  of  those  two  expressions,  "Sarvajna  and  Sarvavi"   is  not  easy  for  a  gross  intellect  even  to  conceive  readily  and  all  of  a  sudden.

Next : Discussion-3. "the  idea  in  the  mantram"  .......

To be continued  ....


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