MUNDAKOPANISHAD CHAPTER-3. SECTION-1. MANTRAM - 5. { Helpful  means  to  Self-realization } Discussion-1. "Satyam, Ahimsa, Brahmacaryam" Satyam  ( truthfulness ),  Ahimsa ( non-injury ),  Brahmacaryam ( self-control )  are  the  three  main  corner-stones  of  the  Temple  of  Hinduism. Even  when  our  scriptures  enumerated  these  three  fundamentals  for  a  purely  godly  life,  they  took  pains  to  see  that  Satyam  ( truthfulness )  has  been  mentioned  as  the  first. "Satyam"   is  that  which  is  not  false. In  ordinary  transactions  of  life  we  mean  by  truthfulness,  a  complete  faithfulness  between  the  thoughts  in  the ...

MANTRAM -4. { Supreme  knower  of  Brahmam } Discussion-4. "Kriyavan" ***...... Here,  in  the  mantram,  this  absurd  idea  of  **sleeping  saints  and  idle-masters**  has  been  atom-bombed  by  the  term  "Kriyavan." He  must  be  active;  and  he  alone  can,  in  the  true  sense  of  the  term,  be  active. His  *selfless  action * alone  can  bring  in   any  enduring  cultural  upliftment  for  the  society  of  animal-men. If  we  have  today any...

Half-understanding  of  any  religious  texts  or  a  scripture  is  more  dangerous  than  not  knowing  it  at  all. 2. It  is  probably,  the  half-learned  book-worms  that  have  brought  about  in  Bharatham  in  all  religions  and  others,  the  tragic  tradition  that  the  realized...
