Mundakopanishad Chapter 3,  Section 1, Mantram-4 Supreme knower of Brahmam. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter -3, Section -1, Mantram -4. (Supreme knower of Brahmam.) "Prano hy esa yah sarva-bhitair vibhati  vijanan vidvan bhavate nativadi,  atma-krida atma-ratih kriyava -  nesa brahma-vidam varisthah." (3.1.4):  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This great Hiranyagarbha Prana, the Universal life principle, is visible in the form of the life of every little creature in this world. Having known this, our mouths are shut and we will not speak afterwards. Like a drowning person whose mouth is filled with water, Eternity will fill us to such an extent that we will have no occasion to open our mouths, ...

11/07/2019 Mundaka Upanishad : Chapter 1: Section 2.6 Ehy-ehiti  tam-ahutayas suvarcasah suryasya rasmibhir-yajamanam vahanti, priyam vacam-abhivadantyo-’rcayantya, esa vah punyah sukrto brahma-lokah (1.2.6). The Sun’s rays, as the flames of fire, are not dead things; they are consciousness. They speak to you : “Come. Glorious man, here are the flames. Come, come.” The oblations, when offered properly with the recitation of the mantras correctly pronounced, create a situation wherein the oblations start assuming life. We have heard that, in ancient days, divinities used to rise up from the fire, bringing some offering. The nectarine pudding which was brought by a divinity in the sacrifice performed by Dasharatha is one of many instances.

How good it is of you to ...

POST-14. ======================================================================== Mantram-7. Criticism of rituals-devoid of knowledge (upasana) Plavā hy ete adṛḍhā yajña-rūpā aṣṭādaśoktam avaram yeṣu karmā etac chreyo ye'bhinandanti mūḍhāḥ jarā-mṛtyuṁ te punar evāpiyanti (1.2.7).  Unreliable boats are these on which you try to cross the ocean of samsara in the form of yajna, or sacrifice. These boats in the form of yajnas, or sacrifices, are like bubbles. They will burst one day, and you cannot entirely rely on them forever because these forces, called apurva in the language of the Mimamsa Shastra, which are responsible for lifting you up to the region of Indra, or to even higher regions, lose their potency one day. It is like sitting in a rocket going up by using fuel, a...
