MUNDAKOPANISHAD
   CHAPTER-3. 
   SECTION-2.
  Mantram-9. ( Knower  of  Brahmam  becomes  Brahmam. ) 

Discussion-1. "Knowing ...."

Here  the  word  'knowing' is  to  be  understood  as  "Subjectively  experiencing."

A  Vedantik  seeker  strives  to  end  his  entire  negative  way   of  living  and  to  renounce  all  his  animal-values  of  life,  which  he  pursued  and  encouraged  during  his  days  of  ignorance.

As  he  develops  in  meditation,  he  comes  to  rediscover  himself  to  be  the  Supremely  Divine,  the  Omnipotent  and  Omniscient  Lord  Himself!!

All  the  'Vedantik  Sadhana'   is  only  to  annihilate  our  entire  false  ego-sense.

When  once  the  false  ego  conception  has  been  broken  down  through  our  discriminative  analysis  and  deep  meditations  upon  the  truth  of  the  Upanishad  declarations,  the  seeker  comes  to  recognize  the  spiritual  centre  in  himself.

Next : Discussion-2. "Rediscovery  of  the  spiritual  centre"
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...
