Brahmaji sharpened His pencil and created a piece of art of the highest order. 

Nothing like this had ever been created. The Devas jumped in delight with what they got, and congratulated Brahmaji from the bottom of their heart. 


All the Devatas examined the masterpiece that stood in front of them. After checking  out the wonderful new abode, they found that it was also intelligent enough to create instruments of its own to extend its functions beyond those endowed to it by Nature. 

Thus, Man is crowned “King of Creation” by the Gods themselves! 

 Everything about Man’s body was just perfect.  

7

Even Brahmaji had to blush at the amount of praise He received! He announced his decision to adopt the body of Man as the best, for all the Devatas were satisfied with it. 

There was a great house-warming party that first night of creation, and all the Devatas were invited to it. Brahmaji’s hands were full with all the presents which were heaped upon Him for His exquisite new creation – Man!

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...
