MUNDAKOPANISHAD

CHAPTER-3.

SECTION-2.

MANTRAM-5. { Description  of  attaining  Brahmam.}

Discussion-3. "State  of  krt-akrtyata" ......

Krt-akrtyata,  meaning  "Their  purpose  is  fulfilled": ( second line first term of this mantram ) -

Life  is  a  struggle  and  an  agitation,  because,  each  one  of  us  haas  at  every  moment  an  honest  regret  at  not  having  fulfilled  ourselves  in  one  or  the  other  of  our  endless  desires  and  plans.

A  complete  sense  of  fulfilment  would  be  reached  when  all  our  desires  dry  up  and  all  our  plans  end.

This  state  of  "Krt-akrtyaya" ---  yielding  for  us  a  steady  satisfaction  of  having  gained  all  that  is  to  be  gained,  known  all  that  is  to  be  known,  seen  all  that  is  to  be  seen  etc., ---  is  gained  immediately  at  the  ending  of  our  ignorance  about  our  own  Divine  Nature.

With  the  discovery  of  our  true  identity  as  the  Self,  the  accomplished  seeker  gains  the  state  of  complete  fulfilment  discussed  here  in  this  mantram.

Next : Discussion-4. "Supreme  awareness...."

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...
