MUNDAKOPANISHAD
CHAPTER-3.
SECTION-1.
MANTRAM -4. { Supreme knower of Brahmam }
Discussion-4. "Kriyavan" ***......
Here, in the mantram, this absurd idea of **sleeping saints and idle-masters** has been atom-bombed by the term "Kriyavan."
He must be active; and he alone can, in the true sense of the term, be active.
His *selfless action * alone can bring in any enduring cultural upliftment for the society of animal-men.
If we have today anything to be congratulated upon in terms of our mental and intellectual purity, and in any sense if we can claim any nobility or superiority over the animal or the brute, it is all entirely due to the blessings of men of God-realisation.
It is not the sword of the warrior or the might of the emperors or the intellect of the scientists that has given us enduring polish of culture and civilisation both in the worlds outside and within.
From the rudimentary and early lessons of taming the brute, to the highest philosophies and practices which guided men to the very seat of Godhood, every bit of human redemption has been the contribution of God-men.
Therefore, when seers in Bharatham took to physical retirement, the nation and the culture fell into dis-use and mis-use!!
Even Sri Swami Adi Sankaracharya who cried down desire-prompted actions, was himself one of the most dynamic political, social and religious workers of his own times.
Sruti denies to the seeker only selfish actions and not selfless actions of benefaction.
Sruti here sanctions and applauds such selfless actions and prescribes it as natural occupation of all saints of true realization.
