Mundakopanishad :

 CHAPTER-2.

SECTION-2.

MANTRAM-5. { Method  of  Self-Realisation }

Discussion-3. "Give  up  our  preoccupations  with  the  outer  world"  ....

This  is  a  law  which  is  very  well-known  to  all  of  us  in  our  own  limited  experience.

So  long  as  I  am  aware  of  even  the  minutest  portion  of  my  dream,  I  cannot  come  entirely  to  my  waking-state-consciousness;  once  in  the  waking - state,  the  dream  is  entirely  transcended.

Similarly,  unless  we  transcend  entirely  our  waking,  dream  and  deep-sleep-statesof  consciousness,  we  canonot  hope  to  peep  into  the  blissful  abode  of  Self ( Atma ).

Thus,  during  the  period  of  seeking,  it  is  a  binding  law  that  we  must  enrirely  give  up  our  preoccupations  with  the  outer  world.

Next : Discussion-4. "This  alone  is  the  bridge" ......."ego  being  the  awareness  conditioned  by  our  mind  and  intellect".....

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...
