Mundakopanishad :

 CHAPTER-2.

SECTION-2.

MANTRAM-6. { Method of contemplation on Brahmam with the help of Pranavam ( Aum / OM ) }

Discussion-3. "Godspeed" ....

After  thus  explaining  the  goal  and  the  way,  the  Master  in  all  enthusiasm  and  with  an  inexpressible  joy,  "Godspeed  to  you," (the term  'svasti'  in the fourth line of the mantram, meaning, "blessings, Godspeed" )

No  Master  can  bless  a  Seeker  more  than  by  explaining  the  goal  and  the  path.

In  fact,  there  the  Master's  job  ends.


Thereafter  all  that  he  can  do  for  the  Seeker  is  to  encourage  him  now  and  then  with  repeated  wishes  of  Godspeed  to  him  on  his  path.

The  pilgrimage  is  to  be  pursued  by  the  Seeker  himself  and  every  step  is  to  be  taken  by  himself.

END.

Next : Mantram-7.  { Description  of  Lower  'Brahmam'  and  mode   of  contemplation  upon  it. }

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...
