MUNDAKOPANISHAD

CHAPTER-3.

SECTION-2.

MANTRAM-1.{Desireless  men  get  liberated  by  worshipping  "A Knower  of  Brahmam" }

Discussion-1. "Benefits  accrued  by  service  to  a  great  men  of  realisation"

In  this  mantram,  as  contrasted  with  the  last  one,  as  we  have  a  description  of  the  benefits  accrued  by  service  to  a  great  man  of  realisation "BY  A  PERSON  WHO  IS  HIMSELF  WITHOUT  ANY  MATERIAL  DESIRES."

Earlier,  in  the  previous  section,  mother  Sruti  promised  that  all  those  who  worship  a  revered  Master  of  perfect  Self-realisation  can,  in  His  grace,  come  to  gain  for  themselves  all  material  desires.

Naturally,  a  doubt  would  arise  in  the  minds  of  true  seekers,  who  entertain  no  desires  for  the  flimsy  finite  world  of  sense-objects,  as  to  what  would  be  the  benefit  if  a  great  Master  be  served  faithfully  and  worshipped  devotedly,  for  a  length  of  time,  by  such  "Virakta"(Seeker ).    
NEXT : Discussion-2. "Antah-karana-suddhi" ...

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...
