MUNDAKOPANISHAD
    CHAPTER-3.
    SECTION-2.
   Mantram-10. { Instructions  on  transfer  of  this  Supreme  Wisdom}.

Discussion-10. ( Qualification-4. "Who  possess  faith" : ( 'Sraddha-yantah'   last term   third  line  of  this  Mantram. )  and 5. "Who  offer  oblations  himself" :  ( 'Svayam  juhvate'    first  two  terms, third  line  of  this  Mantram )


Qualification-4. "Who  possess  faith" : ( 'Sraddha-yantah'   last term   third  line  of   this  Mantram. )

The  power  of  faith  and  necessity  of  faith  for  any  great  achievement  have  already  been  exhaustively  discussed  by  us.

Qualification-5. "Who  offer  oblations  himself" :  ( 'Svayam  juhvate'    first  two  terms, third  line  of  this  Mantram )
'
Here  the  emphasis  is  entirely  on  the  word  "himself"  ( 'Svayam' ).

There  are  a  lot  of  people  who  claim  themselves  to  be  "Hindu-s"  today  and  have  taken  to  convenient  and  cheap  methods  of  God-worship  and  Merit-hoarding!

A  very  educated  and  cultured  Rotarian  recently  dumb-founded  me  by  host-fully  declaring  that  " in  my  house  we  have  Gita-reading   everyday  for  the  last  twenty-eight  years."

I  believed  him  first  and  admired  that  young   man's  wonderful  chance  and   luck  in  life.

An  as  the  conversation  warmed  up,  quite  innocently  he  declared,  "but  I  don't  know  a  line  of  Gita  or  anything  about  its  contents!!"

Next : This  topic  is  continued  ....
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...
