Mundakopanishad :

Chapter-2.

Section-1.

Mantram-2. {  "The  Absolute  nature  of  Brahmam"  }

Discussion -1.  "It  is  a  light  without  any  of  its  qualities  ...... "


If  all  names  and  forms  are  nothing  but  sparks  of  that  Spirit  riding  over  specks  of  matter  seemingly  consuming  it,  then,  what  is  the  exact  nature  of  the  pure  Spirit ?

This  would  certainly  be  the  question  that  will  arise  in  the  mind  of  every  consistent  seeker.

An  attempt  at  its  definition,  descriptive  enough  to  give  a  direct  clue  to  any  sensitive  aspirant,  is  being  made  here  in  this  mantram.

He  is  a  mass  of  light  without  any  form;  not  a  tapping  light,  not  an  orb  of  light,  not  a  pinnacle  of  light  ---  but  light  without  shape,  light  without  form.

In  short  as  Sri  Ramakrishna  Paramahamsa  has  put  it,

" It  is  a  Light  without  any  of  its  qualities."

Next : Discussion-2. "Divya" .....

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...
