MUNDAKOPANISHAD

CHAPTER-3.

SECTION-1.

MANTRAM - 5. { Helpful  means  to  Self-realization }


Discussion-5. Bramacaryam --for house holder ...

Thus,  to  a  house  householder ( family man),  perfect  brahmacaryam  is  to  live  in  Self-control,  indulging  only for  getting  children,  ( in case,  that  much  self-control  not  possible  for  new  young  couple  not  more  than  three  times  a  month )  only.

Many  a  young  family  has  been  wrecked  by  disorder  and  discord  because,  one  of  the  partner  becomes  all  of  sudden  over-enthusiastic  and  suddenly  takes  to  the  vow  of  the  Self-control  without  caring  to  train  his  partner  also  in  the  divine  path.

Again,  a  sudden  and  rash  embrace  of  bramacaryam    has  its  own  psychological  and  physical  repercussions.

Unless  the  mind  and  body  are  slowly  trained  to  this  great  task,  instead  of  their  flowering  forth  into  great  powers,  they  succumb  and  die  away  to  perish.

Next : Discussion-6. "Hinduism  as  antahakarana Suddhi  ....becomes  purified ( kshina-doshah)"

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...
