Upanishads : "The cream of Vedas"

Mundaka-Upanishad Chapter-1, Section-1, Mantram-6. ( Explanation  about  the  higher  Knowledge ) Discussion-8. "Neither  eyes  nor  ears  nor  hands  nor  legs"   ....... Request  to read  connecting  the  previous  discussion posted  ... Again,  Karmam, i.e, action  is  not  possible  for  the  all-pervading. When  you  are  already  filling  up  the  entire  space  in  a  given  chair,  there  is  no  going  or  coming  for  you  in  that  very  same  chair,  for  every  inch  of  space  in  that  chair  is  'Paripurnam' with  you. Similarly,  the  Pure  Consciousness,  ( the Lord )  which  is  all-pervading  ( comple...

Mundaka-Upanishad Chapter-1, Section-1, Mantram-6. ( Explanation  about  the  higher  Knowledge ) Discussion-8. "Neither  eyes  nor  ears  nor  hands  nor  legs"   ....... Earlier  we  are  told  by  the  Mother  Sruti  that  the  Supreme  is  not  visible  to  us. We  may  then  jump  into  misunderstanding  that  even  though  we  cannot  see  it,  It  may  be  seeing  us. This  is  denied  here  by  the  scripture. The  Supreme  has  neither  the  organs - of  - knowledge  nor  the  organs - of  - action. The  eyes  and  ears,  the  hands  and  legs,  are  vehicles  which  can  function  only ...

Mundaka-Upanishad Chapter-1, Section-1, Mantram-6. ( Explanation  about  the  higher  Knowledge ) Discussion-7. "Attributeless"   .... Attributes  are  properties  ----  chemical  and  physical  ---  noticed  by  the  sense-organs  or  felt  by  the  mind  or  deducted  by  the  intellect. In  short,  attributes  can  only  be  in  the  'objects  illuminated  by  the  subject.' Again,  a  substance  or  a  thing  is  that  which  has  some  atribute,  i.e,  wherever  there  are  objects  too. The  world  of  substance  is  finite,  so  then,  the  Eternal,  Changeless  Reality  could  have  no  attribute,  because...

Mundaka-Upanishad Chapter-1, Section-1, Mantram-6. ( Explanation  about  the  higher  Knowledge ) Discussion - 6. "Unoriginated"..... Everything  created  or  formed  must  perish  or  die  away  because  that  which  has  a  beginning  has  also  an  end. The  Eternal  or  Immortal  is  that  which  has  no  end;  and  if  there  should  be  no  end  it  should  have  no  beginning  also. Again,  the  absurdity  in  presuming  a  beginning  for  the  Reality  would  be  that  we   will  have   then  a  state  of  affairs  which  we  will  have  to  describe  in  terms  of  a  ludicrous ...

Mundaka-Upanishad Chapter-1, Section-1, Mantram-6. ( Explanation  about  the  higher  Knowledge ) Discussion-5. "Ungraspable"  ........ ( 'agrahyama' ) ---first  line  of  the  mantram... Ungraspable : If   it  is  not  seen,  a  doubt  may  arise  in  our  mind  ----  it  can,  probably,  be  grasped  by  the  mind;  and  this  is  negated  by  the  Mother  Sruti  with  her  expression,  "Agrahya."   Mind  cannot  conceive  the  Truth,  sice  the  capacity  to  conceive  the  Truth,  is  not  lent  to  the  mind  by  the  Life  Centre  which  it  is  trying  to  conceive. Let  us  try  an  example : ...

Mundaka-Upanishad Chapter-1, Section-1, Mantram-6. ( Explanation  about  the  higher  Knowledge ) Discussion -4.  on  the  phrase 'Invisible' to  be  continued  ..... Let   us  take  take  an  example  : With  a  telescope,  an  observer  observes  moon. But  with  the  same  instrument,  the  observer  cannot  observe  himself ! For,  when  he  ( observer )  becomes  the  "object,"  where  is  the  observer  at  the  "eye-piece" of  the  telescope? Never  it  is  possible  in  life  to  make  the  'subject'  and  the  'object' function  together  at  one  and  the  same  place. However  tired  you  may  be,  ...

Mundaka-Upanishad Chapter-1, Section-1, Mantram-6. ( Explanation  about  the  higher  Knowledge ) Discussion-3. Rishi and  wealth  of  meanings ..... I  shall  try  to  give  you  a  peep  into  the  unplumbed  secret  caves  and  treasure  houses  of  'wealth  of  meanings'  that  lie  so  beautifully  concealed  behind  some  of  these  expressions. Let  us  now  take  the  mantram  phrase  by  phrase. 1. "Invisible" : - The  Supreme  Reality  is  'invisible'  because  what  is  invisible  should  be  an  object  of  seeing. We  are  seeking  the  'Centre  of  Life  Force  within  ourselves  which  is  the ...
