Mundakopanishad
(Veda)
MUNDAKOPANISHAD What is invisible, ungraspable, unoriginated and attributeless; what has neither eyes, nor ears, nor hands, nor feet; what is eternal, all-pervading, immeasurably subtle and limitless in manifestation; - that Imperishable Being is what the wise perceive as the source of all creation. As the spider emits and withdraws the web, as herbs sprout on the earth, as hair grows on the heads and body of man without any efforts, so from the Imperishable Being the universe springs out. Self resplendent, formless, unoriginated and pure, that all-prevading Being is both within and without. Anterior both to life and mind, He transcends even the unmanifested casual state of the universe. From Him are born life, mind, senses, ether, air, fire, water and earth that supports all. Verily, that Omnipresent Being is all this. He who knows this Supreme, Immortal Being as seated in the cavity of the heart, rends asunder the knot of ignorance even here, in this life. This Brahman, know it as the cause of both the gross and the subtle. Knowledge of Brahman is not an intellectual knowledge, or the knowledge of an object, but the intuition of the Seer above all seeing. It is not knowing a thing, but being and becoming That. He who pervades all this, knowing this, one becomes truly wise, never a vain babbler. Only the truthful win, not the untruthful. When the understanding becomes calm and refined, one?s whole being is purified, and then, engaged in meditation, one realizes Him, the Absolute. Whatever sphere the man of purified nature desires, whatever object he fixes his heart upon, he obtains those worlds and those objects. The sages who have attained the self find satisfaction in wisdom (and long for nothing else); they are perfected in soul, non-attached and tranquil. As rivers, flowing, disappear in the ocean, losing name and form, so the wise man, free from name and form, goes unto the highest of the high?the Supreme Divinity. Whoever knows the supreme Brahman, becomes the very Brahman. In his family none ignorant of Brahman is born. The knots of his heart being loosened, he goes beyond sorrow and sin and attains immortality.
