 CHAPTER-3.

SECTION-1.

MANTRAM-3. { Annihilation  of  sorrow  through  God  realization  Continued  .....}


Discussion-3.  "A  state  of  ABSOLUTE  AND  UNSHAKABLE  EQUIPOISE" ......


The scripture  here  says,  "When  such  diligent  and  lucky  seeker  successfully  rediscovers  himself  to  be  nothing  but  the  All-pervading,  the  Light  of  Lights,  the  Pure  Awareness,  which  is  the  Reality,  the  source  of  light  behind  every  name  and  form,  in  him  all  mortal  agitations  end   and  no  more  dare  the  sense  of  limitation  and  finitude  reach  his  bosom  to  make  him  choke  with  the  agonies  of  the  spiritual  unrest."

He  reaches  "a  state  of  absolute  and  unshakable  equipoise."

No  circumstance  in  the  world  can,  thereafter,  upset  him.

No  independent  thought-wave  within  can  rise  to  overwhelm  him.

Under  all  conditions,  within  or  without,  he  becomes  a  serene  and  mighty  light-house  of  wisdom  and  peace,  sending  out  messages  of  hope  and  security  to  those  who  are  struggling  in  the  rough  bosom  of  the  stormy  sea  of  egoistic  life.

Next :  Discussion-4. "dvija ---  the  twice-born  or  brahmana  ......."

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...
