10. BRAHMAM AND THE UNIVERSE ARE ONE

Chapter:-2.

Section:-1.

Mantram:-10.( last of this chapter).

Purusa   evedam   visvam   karma

tapo   brahma   paramrtam,

etad   yo   veda   nihitam    guhayam

so   vidya-granthim   vikiratiha   somya.

Meaning of mantram:- 

The Purusa ( Easwaran) alone is all this Universe---the sacrificial works (karma) and austerities (Tapas). O good-looking youth! he who knows this highest  and immortal Brahmam as seated  in the cavity of the heart, unties the knot of ignorance even here, in this very life.

Explanation:-

This mantram declaring the spiritual conclusion that the entire world of names and forms, feelings and ideas is but a manifestation of the dynamic whole ---------the Purusa. Action and thought (knowledge) when combined together provide us with the different fields of activities called Universe.

Purusa:- (today)

Purusa ( chaithanyam /Easwaran) is the vital centre in the individual is to gain the true knowledge of the Self. Today to each one of us, our centre is the false-ego which is the seat of our total identification with the false envelopment of matter that seemingly veil the spirit. We think that we are body-mind-intellect-equipment and this constant thought is the ego which is the hornet of pains and limitations.

"Untie the the knot of ignorance":-

To rediscover  ourselves to be not BODY, MIND, AND INTELLECT, that we are nothing but the SPIRIT-CENTRE---the PURUSA( Easwaran), is to end all our self-made shackles, the chains of ignorance. The knot of ignorance is the primal bondage under which the Spirit  seemingly commandeers a delusion to dream its own finite and morality.
