Mundaka-Upanishad


Chapter-1.


Section-2. ( Rituals )


Mantram-5 & 6.  ( Attainment  of  heaven  by  performing  'Agnihotram'  rirual  properly )


Mantram-5.


Discussion - 3. " Law  of  Karma ......"



There  is  nothing  revolting  in  this  idea;  only  we  are  not  accustomed  to  this  novel  definition,  which  is  in  fact,  nothing  but  an  extension  and  an  amplification  of  the  knowledge  we  already  possess.


Our  limited  knowledge  on  the  behaviour  of  nature,  climatic  conditions,  etc.,  has  given  us  enough  data  to  believe  that  the  Sun  in  the  heaven  is  the  unquestioned  controller  of  the  life  of  this  globe.


'Loka'  means  a  field  of  experiences.

If  the  sun  were  a  few  yards  away  from  us  or  it  is  few  yards  nearer  to  us,  you  all  know,  what  a  total  revolution  it  would  make  on  the  world,  and  therefore,  also  the  very  quality  and  quantity  of  the  living  world  upon  this  globe.


Next  :  Discussion-4. Law  of  Karma  to  be  continued  .......    



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

Tat Tvam Asi – You Are That! – Chandogya Upanishad

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...
