Chapter III - Consciousness is Supreme Oneness 

Post - 14.

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

Mantram-4 :

Sa etena prajnen-atmana-smallokad-utkramya

amusmin-svarge loke sarvan kaman-aptva-mrtah

samabhavat-samabhavatityom.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He, having realized oneness with Pure Consciousness, soared from this world and 

having obtained all desires in yonder heavenly world, became immortal-yea, became 

immortal. 

The Upanishad concludes with an assertion that the one who has this knowledge (that the 

substratum of everything in the universe is Brahman) transcends beyond this world after

death and reaches the Supreme Abode of beatitude. He joins the Supreme Absolute and 

attains everlasting bliss. He becomes immortal – gets rid of the cycles of birth and death. 

The Peace Chant 


May my speech be fixed in my mind, may my mind be fixed in my speech! 

O self-luminous Brahman, reveal yourself to me. 

O mind and speech enable me to grasp the truth which the scriptures teach. 

Let me not forget what I learnt. Let me study day and night. 

May I think truth? May I speak truth? 

May truth protect me? May truth protect the teacher? 

Protect me. Protect the teacher. Protect the teacher. 

Aum. Peace! Peace! Peace!

=========================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 21/04/2020. Post-7. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. *"We live in a world of untruth," says the Upanishad very, very poignantly. #We are involved in the untruth of our physicality, our individuality, our sociability, our isolation of ourselves from other things and the compulsion that we feel to see things only as present outside us. **We are very much concerned with things outside and concerned very little with our own selves. ***When we open our eyes, we see only that which we are not. ##The Aitareya Upanishad briefly mentions to us, "A sorrow struck the individuals, as if a thunderbolt fell on them, and they cried and wept." ###When you lose yourself, you begin to cry. If you lose anything else, it does not matter, but if it is a question of losing yourself, you can imagine what it

======================================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20/02/2020. Post-4. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. #Creation starts with the five elements, to which reference was made in our previous sessions. And when creation starts in this manner, division takes place. Creation is not merely a manifestation of externality, it is also a manifestation of division or partition of the otherwise inclusiveness, or its extension. We do not merely see things outside but, at the same time, we see many things. ##So, creation involves two aspects of perception: externality and multiplicity. The externality aspect is caused by space-time manifestation. The very meaning of space-time is externality; extension and duration are the characteristics of space and

Then He said to  Himself: "Which way shall I enter it?" he said to Himself further: "If speech is  uttered by the organ of speech, if smelling is done by the breath, seeing by the eyes,  hearing by the ears, touching by the skin, thinking by the mind, eating by the apana  and the emission of semen by the sex organ, them who am I?"  The Supreme Self found itself in an unusual paradoxical position. It thought that if every  other organ of the body does
