\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nThe Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye). <\/span><\/strong>Sanata-sujata continued: The primary Seed (of the universe), called Mahayasas, is destitute of accidents, is pure Knowledge, and blazes with effulgence. It leads the senses, and it is in consequence of that Seed that Surya (sun) shines. That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye). It is in consequence of that Seed (which is Joy\u2019s self) that Brahman becomes capable of Creation and it is through it that Brahman increases in expansion. It is that Seed that entering into luminous bodies gives light and heat. Without deriving its light and heat from any other thing it is self-luminous, and is an object of terror to all luminous bodies.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nThe body composed of the five grosser elements, that are themselves sprung from the five subtler ones, – the latter, in their turn, originating in one homogeneous substance called Brahman \u2013 is upheld (realised) in consciousness by both the creature-Soul endued with life and Iswara. (These two, during sleep and the universal dissolution, are deprived of consciousness).<\/span><\/p>\n[Note: The term \u2018Iswara\u2019 is explained on Page \u2018Nature of Reality\u2019].<\/span><\/p>\nBrahman on the other hand, which is never bereft of consciousness and which is the sun\u2019s Sun, upholds both these two and also the Earth and the Heaven. The Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nThe Seed upholds the two gods, the Earth and the Heaven, the Directions, and the whole universe. It is from that Seed that directions (points of the compass) and rivers spring, and the vast seas also have derived their origin. The Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nThe body is like a car destined to destruction. Its acts, however, are undying. Tied to the wheels of that car (which are represented by the acts of past lives), the senses, that as steeds (horses), lead, through the region of consciousness, the man of wisdom towards that increate and unchangeable One, that One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nThe form of that One cannot be displayed by any comparison. None ever beholds Him by the eye. They that know Him by the rapt faculties, the mind, and the heart, become freed from death. The Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nThe stream of illusion is terrible; guarded by the gods, it has twelve fruits. Drinking of its waters and beholding many sweet things in its midst, men swim along it to and fro. This stream flows from that Seed. That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nDestined to sojourn to and fro, the creature-Soul, having reflected enjoys (in the other world) only half of the fruits of his acts. It is that creature-Soul which is Iswara, pervading everything in the universe. It is Iswara that has ordained sacrifices. That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nSouls divested of accidents, resorting to Avidya, which is like unto a tree of golden foliage, assume accidents, and take births in different orders according to their propensities. That Eternal One endued with Divinity (in whom all those souls are united) is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nAccidents (which coming in contact with Brahman make the latter assume many forms) raise the universe in its Fullness from that Brahman which is full. Those accidents also, in their Fullness, arise from Brahman in its Fullness. When one succeeds in dispelling all accidents from Brahman, which is ever Full, that which remains is Brahman in its Fullness.<\/span><\/p>\n[Note: Compare the peace invocation from Isa Upanishad: Om Purnamadah Purnamidam Purnat Purnamudachyate, Purnasya Purnamaadaaya Purnamevaavashishyate. Meaning: Om, That (Supreme Brahman) is infinite, and this (conditioned Brahman) is infinite. The infinite (conditioned Brahman) proceeds from the infinite (Supreme Brahman). (Then through Knowledge), taking the infinite of the infinite (conditioned Brahman), it remains as the infinite (unconditioned Brahman) alone.]. (Translated by Swami Gambhirananda, Advaita Ashrama, Mayavati).<\/span><\/p>\nThat Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nIt is from that Seed that the five elements have arisen, and it is in it that the power resides for controlling them. It is from that Seed that both the consumer and the consumed (called Agni and Soma) have sprung, and it is in it that the living organism with the senses rest. Everything should be regarded to have sprung from it. That Seed called in the Vedas TATH (Tad), we are unable to describe. That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nThe vital air called Apana is swallowed up by the Air called Prana; Prana is swallowed up by the Will, and the Will by the Intellect, and the Intellect by the Supreme Soul. That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nThe Supreme Soul endued with four legs, called respectively Waking, Dream, profound Sleep, and Turiya [Note: see Page \u2018Consciousness \u2013 the three states\u2019], like unto a swan, treading above the unfathomable ocean of worldly affairs does not put forth one leg that is hid deep. Unto him that beholds that leg (viz., Turiya) as put forth for the purpose of guiding the other three, both death and emancipation are the same. That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nOf the measure of the thumb, ever Full, and different from this eternal organism, coming in contact with the Vital airs, the Will, the Intellect, and the ten Senses, it moves to and fro. That Supreme Controller, worthy of reverential hymns, capable of everything when vested with accidents and the prime cause of everything, is manifest as knowledge in creature-Souls. Fools alone do not behold Him; that Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nAmong individuals there are those that have obtained the mastery of their minds, and those that have not. Yet in all men the Supreme Soul may be seen equally. Indeed, it resides equally in him that is emancipate and in him that is not, with only this difference that they that are emancipate obtain honey flowing in a thick jet. That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nWhen one makes life\u2019s sojourn, having attained to the knowledge of Self and Not-Self, then it matters little whether his Agni-hotra (sacred fire ceremony) is performed or not. O monarch, let not such words as \u2018I am thy servant\u2019 fall from their lips.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Supreme Soul has another name, viz., Pure Knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\nThey only that have restrained their minds obtain Him. That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nEven such is He. Illustrious and Full, all living creatures are merged into Him. He that knows that embodiment of fullness attains to his object (emancipation) even here. That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye)<\/span><\/p>\nThat which flies away stretching forth thousands of wings, yea, if endued with the speed of the mind, must yet come back to the Central Spirit within the living organism (in which the most distant things reside).<\/span><\/p>\nThat Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nHis form cannot be an object of sight. They only, that are of pure hearts, can behold Him. When one seeks the good of all, succeeds in controlling his mind, and never suffers his heart to be affected by grief, then he is said to have purified his heart. Those again that can abandon the world and all its cares, become immortal. (That Supreme Soul which is undying), – that Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nLike serpents concealing themselves in holes, there are persons who following the dictates of their preceptors, or by their own conduct conceal their vices from scrutiny\u2019s gaze. They that are of little sense are deceived by these. In fact, bearing themselves outwardly without any impropriety, these deceive their victims for leading them to hell. (Him, therefore, who may be attained by companionship with persons of the very opposite class), – that Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nHe that is emancipate thinks: \u2018This transitory organism can never make me liable to joy and grief and the other attributes inhering to it: nor can there be, in my case, anything like death and birth: and further, when Brahman, which has no opposing force to contend against and which is alike in all times and all places, constitutes the resting-place of both realities and unrealities, how can emancipation be mine? It is I alone that am the origin and the end of all causes and effects\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n(Existing in the form of I or Self) that Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nThe Brahman-knowing person, who is equal unto Brahman itself, is neither glorified by good acts nor defiled by bad ones. It is only in ordinary men that acts, good or bad, produce different results. The person that knows Brahman should be regarded as identical with Amrita or the state called Kaivalya (transcendental state of Absolute Independence) which is incapable of being affected by either virtue or vice. One should, therefore, disposing his mind in the way indicated, attain to that essence of sweetness (Brahman). That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nSlander grieves not the heart of the person that knows Brahman nor the thought \u2018I have not studied (the Vedas), or, I have not performed my Agni-hotra.\u2019 The knowledge of Brahman soon imparts to him that wisdom which they only obtain who have restrained their mind. (That Brahman which frees the Soul from grief and ignorance) That Eternal One endued with Divinity is beheld by Yogis (by their mental eye).<\/span><\/p>\nHe, therefore, that beholds his own Self in everything, has no longer to grieve, for they have to grieve who are employed in diverse other occupations of the world. As one\u2019s purposes (appeasing thirst etc.) may be served in a well as in a large reservoir or vast expanse, so the various purposes of the Vedas may all be derivable by him that knows the Soul. Dwelling in the heart, and of the measure of the thumb, that illustrious One \u2013 the embodiment of Fullness \u2013 is not an object of sight. Unborn He moves, awake day and night. He that knows Him, becomes both learned and full of joy. I am called the mother and father. I am again the son. Of all that was, and of all that we will be, I am the Soul, O Bharata, I am the old grandsire, I am the father, I am the son. Ye are staying in my soul, yet ye are not mine, nor am I yours! The Soul is the cause of my birth and procreation. I am the warp and woof of the universe. That upon which I rest is indestructible. Unborn I move, awake day and night. It is I knowing whom one becomes both learned and full of joy. Subtler than the subtle, of excellent eyes capable of looking into both the past and the future, Brahman is awake in every creature.<\/span><\/p>\nThey that know Him know that Universal Father dwells in the heart of every created thing.<\/span><\/p>\nhtt<\/span>p:\/\/w<\/span>ww.hinduism.co.za\/sanat-su.htm#Brahmacharya<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"www.hinduism.co.za\/Brahmacharya
