Mantram - 4.1 The Fourth Question: by Gargya

Post-40.

================================================================

GAARGYA’S QUESTION

Query No 4:

================================================================

“The Experiencer of Power”

HAVING LEARNT SO much about Prana and its management in the world of living

beings, we are naturally now looking forward to experience it as such in our own lives. This

chapter deals with the Experiencer of that Power. Who is it that experiences this life?

Surely, however fascinating the expression of power may appear to be, it would be futile if

there was none to experience it.

In this question the students seek and strive to understand a layer of existence that

is more subtle than the Pranic body explained in the previous chapters. We are now going to

deal with the experiencer of Power. This is not so easy a topic as we shall soon discover. The

difficulty is to identify who is the actual experiencer? There are three “I”s that can claim to

be experiencing Life through this body. Which is the true “I”? That is the difficulty.

The Truth or Reality behind the individual and the cosmos is approached gradually –

that is the plan of this Upanishad. We are slowly getting to the core of Reality. The method

used in this chapter is to carefully examine those states in life when the being is closest to

God. The states of dream and deep sleep provide some eye-opening clues to our inner

Reality. Hence, these are scrutinized in this chapter.

Our laboratory in this chapter is our bedroom!

Mantram - 4.1 The Fourth Question: by Gargya

Atha ha enam sauryaayanee = Then Gargya, the grandson of Surya, asked

gaargyah papracchha: = the following questions:

bhagavan, etasmin purushe = O Bhagavan! (i) Among the organs in a man

kaani svapanti ? = which are the ones that go to sleep ?

kaani asmin jaagrati ? (ii) = Which keep awake in him?

katara eshah devah svapnaan = (iii) Which is the Deity who “sees”

pashyati ? = (experiences) the dream?

kasya etat sukham bhavati ? = (iv) To whom occurs this happiness?

kasmin nu sarve sampratishtitaa = (v) In whom do all (i.e. the subtle body parts that

bhavanti ? iti. = are “packed-up” at death) get merged?

================================================================

Apart from the first question, each subsequent question seems to be more and

more well-prepared and lengthy. The students are coming to the Master with long lists!

Their questions are also becoming more and more subtle in their content. They are helping

us to probe through deeper and deeper layers into Reality.

Unless we think and ask questions, we will never learn. This attitude is encouraged

by the sage among his students. It is also reflected in the fact that the questions are getting

more and more detailed and penetrating.

We have been given all these instruments (senses, mind, intellect, etc.) so that we

use them properly for what they are designed. In doing so, we have to think.

2-6 The Five Parts of This Question:

From Apara Vidya to Para Vidya

This chapter, i.e. Chapter 4, deals with the transition from Apara Vidya to Para Vidya.

The whole idea of the first three chapters of Prashna Upanishad is to lead us from

the grosser manifestations to more and more subtle levels of experience; from RAYI to

PRANA, from MATTER to ENERGY. We have been dealing with the relative world of sense

experience. This knowledge is called Apara Vidya.

Then the last two chapters, Chapters 5 and 6, deal in in greater detail with the Para

Vidya or knowledge of the Supreme Brahman. Para Vidya is the highest floor of the edifice

of Vedanta.

Guruji was reminded of an interesting observation: Someone was asked, “How long

can you live without air?” The reply was, “Two minutes at most.” “How long, without

water?” “A day, not more”. “How long, without food?” “About 10 days, I suppose.” “And

how long without thinking?” “Forever!”

Guruji light-heartedly said something very serious: “If we don’t think, no one will ever force us to!”

================================================================

OPINION:

1. Congress, a donkey party, it's so called daydreaming stupid leader Rahul Vinci, Rahul Gandi, frequent visit to foreign countries, to abuse PM of this Nation, and Sanatana Dharma -exceeded all limits this time, his party and his family to be condemned, and kicked away from politics, people should awake and realise the danger.

2. All highly corrupted political parties are fall in in a funny heading (I.N.D.I.A.), PREPARED TO DEFEAT SRI MODIJI AND BJP IN 2024 ELECTION!!!???

3.These so-called leaders are failed in their own states and could not provide good governance, followed by unrest in their states.

4. The communists next donkey group, latest stunt of America visit and the comedy programmed namely Kerala Sabha!? these buggers destroyed Kerala in all and joining with radical Islam soon they will be eliminated, people of Kerala get up from donkey thoughts, otherwise Kerala shrink to extinct in all way.

5. The speaker of Kerala assembly unnecessarily abuses Hinduism and supported by cpm party head, wonder these demons do not realise their faults, need a lesson to know the strength of DHARMA.

================================================================

NOTE:

1. POLITICIANS (THOSE IGNORANT AND DEMONIC NATURED) ARE NOT THE AUTHORITY TO OPEN THEIR UGLY FOUL MOUTH AND UTTER NONSENSE UPON SANATHANA DHARMAM.

2. THE NONSENSE COMMENDY ALLIANCE ARE NOT THE AUTHORITY ON SANATHA DHARAMAM.

3. DK, DMK. AIADMKA AND ALL NONSENSE POLITICIANS BEWARE YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY WASHED OUT SOON.

4. COMMUNISTS AND CONGRESS ARE THE ENEMY TO MANKIND DESTROY THEM.

5.ALL SANATHANA DHARAMAM FOLLOWERS (WHICH EVER YOUR POLITICAL INTEREST BE: YOUR POLITICAL MINDSET) TAKE An OATH THAT YOU STAND AGAINST ALL EVIL MINDSET AGAINST SANATHANA DHARMAM!!!

================================================================

######6. CRUSH THE ANTI NATIONAL ELEMENTS SUCH AS CONGRESS, COMMUNISTS, LEFT LIBERALS, URBAN NAXALS, TAMILNADU REGIONAL ANTI NATIONAL CUM ANTI SOCIAL POLITICAL PARTIES (DK, DMK, AIADMK, ALL SILLY SELF-APPOINTED CASTE GROUPS), NEVER ALLOW THESE BUGGERS RAISE THER VOICE/HEADS. CRUSH THEM UNDER YOUR FEET.

#######7. THE PRESENT CASTE SYSTEM IS MAN MADE ( NEHRUVIAN ERA IDEA OF DIVIDING HINDUS INTO COUNTLESS MANY HEADDINGS AND HOLD THEM FOR FREE BENEFITS SO THAT COLONIAL DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY SINCE INDEPENDENCE, TILL NOW ) WONDER STILL THEY ARE KEPT AWAY FROM HINDUISM ) THIS IS NOT RELATED TO DHARMA" POLITICIANS ARE IDIOTS WHO TALK NONSENSE WITHOUT KNOWING THE SUBSTANCE, REGARDING VARNA: IT IS ABOUT GUNA AND PROFESSION RELATED, DIRTY POLITICANS TWISTS KNOWINGLY, BURN THESE WEEDS FROM THE SOCIETY URGENT NEED OF THE PRESENT.

########8. VOTE BANK POLITICS OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES OF BHARATHAM, MADE THEM ABUSE SANATANA DHARMA FOLLOWERS (HINDUS) AND APPEASE MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS, SOTHE FAMILY POLITICS FLOURISHING, AT WILL AND WISH, HENCE HINDUS WAKEUP AND FIGHT AGAINST THIS TREACHERY AND DEFEAT ALL THESE DEMONS OF POLITICS.

#########9 "Udhayanidhi’s rant comparing Hindus with malarial mosquitoes and Covid virus could have easily gone without the kind of outrage we are seeing today. Such Hindu-hate has been normalised in Tamil Nadu, a state which has seen some of the greatest Hindu kingdoms like the Cholas, Pallavas and Parantakas."

##########10 "But the massive outpouring of public anger on media and social media perhaps points to a silent change afoot in Tamil Nadu. A revival of Sanatan Dharma and politics around it is slowly taking shape under BJP’s young leader K Annamalai. Santana Dharma has been in Tamil Nadu for as long as it existed in the rest of India, tracing back to the Vedic times. It is not possible to keep that fountainhead of Sanatan Dharma muted forever with the rock of Dravidianism….”
