Alok PandeyHOST
Taase aha nishbhago.
Alok PandeyHOST
astuti ninda dhau tyagi aur maana apamana keh nanak yaha khel kathin hai kou gurumukh jana Isha Upanishad says something very similar in a very terse verse.
Alok PandeyHOST
It says avigyatam vijanata avigyatam avijanata They would think they know it, know it not.
Alok PandeyHOST
Means such humility that always you have to Understand that knowledge is infinite.
SriniAUDIENCE
Okay, so it's similar to the Amdantamah Pravishanthi Yo Avidyam Pasutte.
SriniAUDIENCE
That's from Ishavasya, right?
BinduHOST
That was from Ishavasya, Vinod.
SriniAUDIENCE
Right.
SriniAUDIENCE
Thank you, Vinod.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
This is illusion.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
There's a verse in Isha Upanishad, first verse, "Ishavasyam idam sarvam yatkincha jagatam jagat.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
Tena tyaktena bhunjitha ma gridhah kasyasviddhanam." All that we see is actually only pervaded by the Lord.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
He is the supreme prop- proprietor.

Rasikananda SwamiHOST
You understand? We are only conscious because God is conscious.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
By his desire, there's a verse in Katha Upanishad, in a narrative between a boy, Nachiketa, and Yam, the god of death, and he says, "Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman." God is the supreme eternal, the one, and we are all emanations of that supreme one, part and parcel, infinitesimal particles of that infinite supreme spirit, who is both separate and complete beyond us, and yet each one of us, even though we are infinitesimal sparks, are also complete and whole.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
This is also in Isha Upanishad, "Om Purnamadah Purnamidam Purnat Purnamudachyate Purnasya Purnamadaya P vrijdag, Purnamiva Vasishyate." Any emanation from the infinite complete whole is also complete in and of itself, even though we are infinitesimal.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
So the super soul is within all of us.
Alok PandeyHOST
So basically when we talk about God or created, we are limiting something which cannot be limited because, you know, by the very nature.
Alok PandeyHOST
So birth in Indian thought, in Isha Upanishad, Vladimir will tell us, Sambhuti.
Alok PandeyHOST
Its birth is a limitation.
Alok PandeyHOST
So physical birth is also a limitation.
Alok PandeyHOST
are there and two wonderful chapters which are a must read if one wants to enter into secret of the Vedas.
Alok PandeyHOST
We have the Upanishads which now is two volumes, Isha Upanishads and the other Upanishads which is part of the Vedic lore, I mean basically.
Alok PandeyHOST
Then there is of course a whole volume on philology of the Vedas, how he has arrived at the conclusions purely from the philological point of view.
Alok PandeyHOST
So that makes it five volumes.
Swami NityanandaHOST
So there's a story from the yogic tradition which I'm about to share.
Swami NityanandaHOST
It's a parable and it makes clear the opening verse of the Isha Upanishad which says that all of this is pervaded by the divine.
Swami NityanandaHOST
All of this.
Swami NityanandaHOST
All of it.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
how we achieve the path of grace, the path of light, enlightenment, how we stay on the plane of enjoyment, the sattva path, the rajas path, the tamas path, how we go to lower forms.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
This is all there, Isha Upanishad, Chandogya Upanishad.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
Chapter 8 of Chandogya Upanishad, we just reached this portion.
Rasikananda SwamiHOST
We talked about it this morning.
Jaya RowGUEST
That's the irony.
Jaya RowHOST
Even in the, uh, Isha Upanishad, uh, they say, "Ishavasyam idam sarvam yat kincha jagtyam jagat." Uh, where the translation says, "All this, whatever moves in this moving world is pervaded or enveloped by the Lord." Uh, so yes, at one ...
Jaya RowHOST
So there's a d- the divinization of everything, uh, that they mention and then it also says it's that same universal principle that is pervading everything, right?
Jaya RowGUEST
Yes.
Alok PandeyHOST
Okay, that's the main thing.
Alok PandeyHOST
Why should I bother about the rest? So, the Kena Upanishad, except Isha Upanishad, all of them tend to take you towards otherworldliness.
Alok PandeyHOST
As we said, Kena Upanishad, you know, Yanman Sanamanute.
Alok PandeyHOST
So at the end of the day, though it was meant to preserve the deepest truth, that we don't forget this in the mass of all the science, fundamentals.
Alok PandeyHOST
Okay, I want to find the reality.
Alok PandeyHOST
You pick up one of the Vedanta.
Alok PandeyHOST
But Isha Upanishad is a very big challenge for everyone because it speaks of this world, integrating it.
Alok PandeyHOST
So that becomes Vedanta.
UdayPANELIST
So Mundaka Upanishad is part of the Adharvana Veda.
UdayPANELIST
It is one of the 10 primary Upanishads that Shankaracharya provided commentary on.
UdayPANELIST
And according to Swami Chinmayananda and Swami Dayananda, this is the first suggested Upanishad Upanishad to be studied.
UdayPANELIST
Mundaka means head or prime or pradhanam and it consists of three chapters or Mundakas and each chapter has two sections.
9 MINS LATER
UdayPANELIST
Out of Brahman alone, the entire universe arises and into Brahman, the entire universe resolves at the end.
UdayPANELIST
Mountains, rivers, all creatures and scriptures are born out of Brahman.
UdayPANELIST
Swami P says that, you know, our Upanishads get poetic and there are several references to the different aspects of the universe that Brahman is responsible for.
UdayPANELIST
Now, from this basic statement that Brahman is Jagatkaranam, There are inferences or corollary as Swami P likes to call it.
