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



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

Discussion -13. "wrong  interpretations  ...   continuity of  discussion -12 "

Too  literal  a  translation  has  brought  about  such  fantastic  interpretations,  ridiculous  and  laughable,  not  only  into  'Hinduism' but  into  almost  all  the  religious  literature  of  the  world  today.

A  true  and  discriminate  understanding  of  the  expression  could  never  be  that  one  should  learn,  and  of  all  things  the  most  difficult  Science  of  Sciences,  the  Brahma-Vidya,  with  a  pot  of  fire  on  one's  head!!

This  prescription  can  be  given  out  only  by  an  illiterate,  who  knows,  not  what  it  is  to  learn  and  master  a  Science.

Next : Discussion-14. "an  intellect  that  is  on - fire" .....    
To be continued  ...
