PENETRATING BRAHMAN.

-

A practical analogy:-

Method of penetration Brahman:-

OM is the bow, the arrow is the individual being, and Brahman is the target. With mind absorbed and heart melted in live, draw the arrow and hit the mark------ the imperishable Brahman. Lose thyself in him, just as the arrow gets lost in the target.


One of the most glorious stanzas of our scriptures generally chanted soon after the offering of camphor flame in Arati, without which no ritual is concluded, finds place in this Upanisad as also Kartha and Svetasvetara Upanisads. "Him the sun does not illuminate, nor the moon, nor the stars,  nor the lightening-----nor indeed the fires kindled upon earth. Everything shines, illuminated by his light, reflecting His glory."

Mantram-5.  ============================================================== "Tatrapara Rg-vedo yajur-vedah  sama-vedo'tharva-vedah siksa  kalpo vyakaranam niruktam chando jyotisam-iti,  atha para yaya tad aksaram adhigamyate." (1.1.5).  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very interesting!
