Ishavasya Upanishads - Experience Truth with Pure seeking
Title
Experience Truth with Pure seeking
Description
Today’s (24th April, 2015) Nithya Satsang on Ishavasya Upanishad in Living Advaita Series. Paramahamsa Nithyananda intercepts into the context of 9th verse that describes two major problems a seeker faces when he starts transforming his cognition that he is Consciousness, Mahadeva. Beautifully illustrating the whole context, he narrates the story of Brahma and Vishnu as seekers, searching for Mahadeva’s head and feet. Vishnu becomes bored and tired seeking. But Brahma uses cunningness, with the false evidence of a flower, which is the false ritual or technique, the incomplete knowledge that claims it knows the Truth, the head of Mahadeva, without experiencing it. With this, he tells the world, never to fall victim to people who design techniques which are not aligned with Apta Pramana, the words of Rishis, the Vedas. And reminds us to — Look into the context and catch Mahadeva, Consciousness. Isha Upanishad – Verse 9 andhaṁ tamaḥ praviśanti ye’avidyām upāsate | tato bhūya iva te tamo yau vidyāyāṁ ratāḥ || 9 ||
Today’s Vakyartha Sadas, topic for spiritual explorations on truth is — “How to keep our seeking pure without being touched by Brahma and Vishnu both. Neither boredom nor false purpose, the vested interests, incomplete knowledge should disturb our seeking. Contemplate about this. Do Vakyartha Sadas on this. How to keep our seeking pure, how to retain our seeking pure, away from boredom, away from false identities. That is why the Vedic Tradition insists on higher forms of tapas and penance. Have Vakyartha Sadas on this today.”
