MUNDAKOPANISHAD

CHAPTER-3.

SECTION-2.

MANTRAM-2.{ "Cessation  of  cycle  of  re-birth  through  desireless-ness." }

Discussion-2. "LOKA" Field  of  activities  or  a  field  of  experiencing ...

We  have  already  discussed  the  genesis  of  action  wherein  we  found  that  the  ignorance  of  our  real  nature  which  is  all-perfect and  all-full,  generates  in  us  vague  and  fantastic  desires  and  makes  us  feel  that  it  is  but  a  mad  attempt  on  our  part  to  come  to  our  own  real  nature.

We  also  found  that  desires  disturb  a  hornets  nest  of  singing  thoughts,  and  that  the  thoughts,  expressing  themselves  in  the  outer  world  of  sense  objects,  are  the  actions  of  the  individual.

The  total  field  of  actions,  thus  created  by  the  multiple  individual  ego,  creates  what  we  generally  term  "world." 

In  Samskrtam  "loka"   means  a  field  of  activities  or  a  field  of  experiencing.

NEXT : Discussion-3. "paryapta  kami"...

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...
