  Commentary :

This is a need for the teacher to have a sufficient number of students not only to 

make the teaching venture more viable, but to spread the Vedic culture to the maximum 

number of people. However, it is not just numbers for numbers’ sake. The primary 

qualification is the Practice of Celibacy. This is stressed in the last five Padas. That alone 

ensures his eligibility to succeed in his learning. That alone ensures excellence in learning.

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
