o ribhu, having given up all thoughts, you should rest content (in your soul) ever.” – varaha upanishad he should abandon all the thoughts relating to externals and so also with references to internals. man is bound by ‘mine’, but he is released by ‘not mine’.bondage is the imagination prompted by the desire for the eight powers.whether the body perishes now or lasts the age of moon and stars, what matters it to me having consciousness alone as my body ? what matters it to the sky in the pot, whether it (the pot) is destroyed now or exists for a long time.that which is consciousness alone which is all-pervading, which is eternal, which is all-full, which is of the form of bliss and which is indestructible, is the only true brahman (infinite consciousness).he who perceives all beings in the self alone, and the self in all beings, does not entertain any hatred on account of that perception.liberated from the grip of egoism, like the moon (after the eclipse), full, ever blissful, self-luminous, one attains one’s essence.fools, dwelling in darkness, but wise in their own conceit and puffed up with vain scholarship, wander about, being afflicted by many ills, like blind men led by the blind.knowing that great and all-pervading self by which one sees (the objects) both in the sleep and the waking states, the intelligent man grieves no more.dissolve the self in the supreme self as the pot-space is dissolved in infinite space then, as the infinite be silent for ever, o sage! – adhyatma upanishad.to the seer, all things have verily become the self: what delusion, what sorrow, can there be for him who beholds that oneness? – isa upanishad.
#An undistracted mind free#
one who is free from desire sees the glory of the self through the tranquillity of the mind and senses and becomes absolved from grief.
the knowing self is not born it does not die.then the atman becomes one with brahman, as the arrow with the target. it is to be struck by an undistracted mind. Om is the bow the atman is the arrow brahman is said to be the mark.whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. brahman alone pervades everything above and below this universe is that supreme brahman alone. that immortal brahman alone is before, that brahman is behind, that brahman is to the right and left.as truth is nobody monopoly and everyone will attain to it one day. as in old times, many authors didn’t choose to write their name on books. in that loving atmosphere, the upanishads were born and passed from generation to generation as an oral teachings. there was total trust and openness between the master-disciple. In old times disciples used to sit near the enlightened master and imbibe the spirit and wisdom of the guru. the master was only interested in the inner growth of the disciples and the disciples were only interested in knowing the supreme truth.
if you are on the path of self-realization then you must go through these scriptures. they carry the mystical teachings of knowing your true nature. Upanishads contains some of the most profound wisdom of hindus.
