Kenopanishad
(Veda)
KENOPANISHAD It is the Atman, the Spirit, by whose power the ear hears, the eye sees, the tongue speaks, the mind understands and life functions. The wise man separates the Atman from these faculties, rises out of sense-life and attains immortality. It is beyond the unknown.That, which speech cannot reveal, but what reveals speech, That which sight fails to see, which perceives the sight, That which man fails to hear with the ear, That by which man perceives hearing?know That alone as Brahman. Who amongst us comprehends It both as the Not-known and as the Known?he comprehends It. Through the Atman he obtains real strength and through Knowledge Immortality. What we ordinarily consider strength in the world, is not really strength. For every attempt of ours to make ourselves strong is the result of fear?fear of loss, of attacks from enemies, of death, etc. and very often it happens that our fear also grows in proportion to the security we build up for ourselves. Thus in the greatest worldly security lies also the greatest fear. The study of the physiology of wealthy men and imperialistic nations amply proves this. True strength is attained only when we feel certain that our real Self shall not in the least be affected, whatever might happen to our worldly interests. The realization of Atman in every state of mind alone can give this strength unaccompanied by any fear of loss. immortality is the nature of the Atman. Knowledge dispels ignorance, and thus reveals one?s inherent immortality. By constant remembrance and meditation, the minds knows Him as it were. Perfect knowledge with regard to Brahman is only the experience of identity, which entitles one to say, ?I am that?. That is the non-objective knowledge. This is, in short, what Kenopanishad tells us.
