MUNDAKA  UPANISHAD


 CHAPTER-3.


SECTION-1.


MANTRAM-1. { Another  method  of  pointing  to 'Brahmam'  ----   two  birds  staying  on  the  same  tree.  }


Discussion-4. "THE  REAL  'I'  AND  THE  FALSE  'I'  ..........."


The  two  birds  : - the  real  'I'  and  the  false  'I'  ----   live  in  one  and  the  same  tree,  the  body.

{ Here  the  tree  is  our  body,  and  the  two  birds  are   the  REAL  'I'  and   THE  FALSE  'I'   within  us }

The  ego,  in  its  delusions,  goes  on  pecking  at  the  hanging  fruits  and  comes  to  suffer  joy  and  sorrow,  satisfaction  or  dis-satisfaction,  according  to  the  taste  of  the  fruits  pecked.

Some  are  ripe,  some  are  unripe;  ripe  ones  are  sweet, ( joy )  unripe  ones  are  sour  ( sorrow ).

But,  the  other  bird,  which  all  along  remains  in  unperturbed  tranquillity,  merely  goes  on  witnessing  the  joys  and  sorrows  of  the  bird  busy  with  the  fruits!

Next : Discussion-5. Tree,  Two  birds,  then  the  third  "FRUITS"  what  is  the  role ?

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...
