Stories from upanishads retold by archaea gosvami.
Greer derenick upanishad features.
Most of the stories from the life of say Jaga vulgar and his
conversations with King janaka with their.
I have clarified earlier in my past podcast episode that there
were many John occurs throughout Indian history.
Let's not get confused between king janak.
Of with, they are featured in today's story.
And father of Sita in ramayana, the timelines are entirely
different So definitely, they are different persons.
As history tells us, there were 52 Janek has in with her dynasty
of mithila. nevertheless, today's story is based on the
kind of never-ending question answer session between the king
and the sage In bridges, are unaccompanied.
Sure. These conversations are recorded
in chapter 4 from section 124. This specific story is featured
in Section 1 and 2 of the same chapter.
I'll retail the other ones in a future episode.
Ever since the great debates, demonstrated at the Symposium in
the courtroom yoga valka, has become a friend philosopher and
guide for the king, there are many instances in which either
the king had called upon the sage.
Or sometimes even Sage himself. Went up to the king to discuss
various facets of Brahman. Please note that King janaka
himself is established As a very learned and wise who could ask
intelligent questions to the sage which he gladly responded
to, it was business as usual, in the courtroom of kingdom of
Lydia. The King was busy solving people
issues looking through the financial status of the kingdom
when the say Jagger Valk arrived.
It was a customary in those days to wash the feet of the sage and
offered him water and seat. After doing all these, the king
asked, the sage o Great Sage what brings you here.
Have you come here to win some more cattle?
Or here some difficult and subtle questions which you can
respond to? Friends note the tone of the
king even though he was a king and was speaking to a sage, he
had the hint of Personal Touch of friendship.
It was an intended pun hidden within the conversation.
The king very well knew that there was no collar in the
Kingdom who could actually be BitLocker valka.
So he represented the fact in a more fun intended way.
During this your Google car smiled as he understood what his
friend and the King went he replied o Emperor.
I have come here for both. This is an interesting reply
from the stage as he is intentionally included an
element of humor in it. The Yogi's are interested in
holistic picture, in terms of boot materialistic and
spiritualists against younger valka is a prime example of this
as he is not only awaken spiritually but also.
Well, the materialistically Remember the story in which he
wins thousand cows with hundred gold coin tied to their homes.
If you have not listened to it, my Earnest request is to listen
to those four episodes for the sake of continuity.
Your Google. Ask the emperor.
Oh, Emperor. You have been fortunate.
To talk to many scholars and learned men.
I am really interested to know. What did they tell you about?
Brahman. The king said once, jit, one,
son of Selena told me that organ of speech or walk is Brahman.
Yeah, Google car applied as one who in the childhood was
instructed adequately first by his mother and then by his
father and after that was initiated into sacred Mysteries
by a sage. So has get one taught you the
truth when he said that organ of speech or walk is Brahman, then
tell me about that person who cannot speak.
What could the person achieve without organ of speech, or
work? Did he tell you about?
It's about and support of this, Brahmin, the king thought for a
while, and then replied. No.
He did not the search continued, then you are partly taught.
Okay, you know, about only 1/4 or brother of this.
Brahmin, the three other quarters or /, others are
missing. So it will not produce any
Effect. Even though it is meditated upon
the king asked, please tell me about it.
O Sage you're gullible continued.
Organ of speech or walk is its Abode or body and under Rickshaw
space is the Primal cause of the universe.
It is the external support. It must be meditated upon his
intelligence. So if a person who cannot speak
nor has Intelligence achieve nothing in this life or Next.
So if a person is mute is Brahman is intelligence.
So one must meditate upon dis Brahman as intelligence The king
replied. What is intelligence then?
Is it the cause or effect is it different from the organ of
speech like the body or its support?
The sage responded. No, the intelligence is not
different from the organ of speech or work through the
intelligence. A friend is known using this.
We can read and understand rig Veda Sama Veda, yajur Veda,
Arthur Wang gear has a history mythology Arts, upanishads
versus slow cookers aphorism, elucidation, 's and explanations
due to this organ of speech, the spiritual effect of Sacrifices
offering Shinobi relations in the fire as well as giving food
and drink to this world which is this life.
And next which will come after a departure from this life and all
beings are known therefore o Emperor.
Walk is the Supreme Brahman, it never leaves a person who
meditates and contemplates upon it.
All beings come to him with offerings and being a God In
This Very life. Attains God as his merge with
them. After his death.
The King was overjoyed to learn the explanation of organ of
speech, as Brahman. He announced immediately, I
offer you thousand cows with a bull as huge as an elephant.
Yoga valka smiled, and nodded and said calmly, my father told
me that one. Should not accept any gift from
a disciple without fully instructing him.
The power of work, both conceptualization and verbal
expression of concept is a distinct feature of human being.
Although many other species on Earth, you sound for
communication, the living organism who cannot produce
sound can also communicate. There is some kind of lower
intelligence present in these organisms unicellular organism
also communicate with respect to environmental cues nutrient
level, and with each other by releasing molecules to see.
We'll each other some organisms use pheromones for
communication, while other use tactile and touch base cues for
communication. Higher organisms have power of
sound to communicate along, with other modes, such a touch and
emotions. All these forms of communication
are Guided by intelligence and power of speech or walk does the
aid, in spreading the knowledge and information important point
to note here is about the Abode and support For organ of speech
is support is the space or ether.
The body itself equivalent to space and universe outside of it
and they sense and everything innate in all that exists inside
outside. And everywhere, it is the Primal
cause of the universe the sound or Vogue arises from this deep
space and our Consciousness is the intelligence.
So it is the origin of Vogue or organ of speech, bro.
Come on the shop, the Brahman or NADA Brahman, which is our
innermost consciousness. friends, please note that shop
the Brahman has been philosophized in many ways and
based on different School of thoughts, I will not get into
those Concepts as of now, Next. The king told us a joke about
the instructions received from oh danke son of sulba.
He told the sage that Prana or vital force is, Brahman Sage
thought for a while, and then asked what happens to this
Brahmin when a person does not leave vital force or Prana is no
more with that person in the sage, ask the king, if you danke
had told him about this brahmins Abode or body and his support,
or Urban Resort the king replied - the sage said.
Oh Emperor. You only know, one part or
puddle of this. Brahmand, the vital force or
Prana is the Abode and space or interaction is it support?
It should be meditated upon as deer, for our life is, indeed
very dear. This Primal vital force or Prana
is Brahman when we breathe we leave and when we stopped
breathing, we die. The Prana or vital force allows
us to live. That's why the control of breath
in yogic practices is Paramount. That's why breath holds such
principle place in the practice of Yoga.
Yogic practices claim that these Prana is the final cause for all
manifested forces of nature. Why doesn't Adam move and
vibrate? The science tells us that the
atoms can only get trapped by the electrical?
Attraction to the nucleus which is much weaker in ionized atoms.
Is this the complete explanation scientist doesn't know.
But Yogi practices say it is because of Prana the vital
force, which produces vibration in an atom and is one of the
expressions of energy of Prana or the cosmic life principle.
The same Prana appears as That Power by which a germ of life.
Works on the physical plane, arouses Motion in the molecules
of his cells. Builds up a suitable structure,
repairs injuries and reproduces its kind, it causes activity in
protoplasm in a bio plasm or a nanobot as well as in highest
man. Prana is also called wish for
Prana. That the body seems to be formed
only of five elements. It is itself.
The underlying substratum, as the ocean is two ways, the body
is then really nothing but Prana, as everything else in the
realm of relative existence, even the smallest particle of
the cosmos is universal life. In manifestation, all elements
of Cosmos are rooted in Prana just as the waves are in total
dependence upon the ocean for their very being so.
Everything Cosmic and microcosmic depend on Prana, the
breath is also called, Prana is the outmost and physical
manifestation of Prana, he who controls Prana controls.
All since Prana is all Prana is the force of life itself.
But like the faculty of speech has the space or ether as its
origin and support. And as told earlier or Body is
like a space and Prana is the only thing which keeps Us Alive.
It is indeed most dear to us, knowing this explanation of
Prana as Brahman. The king wanted to reward, the
sage handsomely with thousand cattle and a bull as large as an
elephant yoga valka, politely refused a reward and told him
that he has been taught by his father.
Not to accept any gift or reward, unless the knowledge
given in is complete. Then the king told us H that
burcu son of rrishna had once told him that I was Chuck's your
site is the Brahman yoga velcro replied that he has been
provided only one part of complete knowledge.
He asked the king, what happens when one cannot see?
Where is the Brahmin then? What about the board and support
looking confirmed, that Burke who has not told him about these
sh Nude eye is the Abode and undifferentiated ether or space.
Is it support? It must be meditated upon as
Truth. For It Is by the sight that
objects are known. The king asked a sage, what is
truth? The say it's replied the eye of
Chuck shoe itself is the truth. If someone is asked, if he has
seen with his own eyes and if he replies positively, then it is
Is deemed to be true. Thus, whatever we see through
our eyes, using our site is deemed to be truth.
So the eye is the Supreme Brahman, the woodchuck shoe
means both physical eye and the faculty of sight.
I is meaningless if one lacks The Faculty of sight which means
someone must see as far as possible to understand and judge
things going around him. He needs to see all those things
which are rooted in the space. So we see the things which all
reside in this space. Again, on hearing this
explanation of I or site as Supreme, Brahman, the king
wanted to handsomely reward, the sage and sage.
Again refused the reward giving the same reason as before.
Then the king told yakovel about Gaddafi Pita from the lineage of
are at Georgia. He had advised the king that
show through or hearing or ear is the Brahmin.
However, he didn't tell him about his Abode and support yoga
Vulcan replied. Told him that here is it about
and efficient to space or interaction.
Is it support? As it must be meditated upon as
As in finite and Limitless, since the sound is carried by
Limitless space does hearing or show through is the Supreme
Brahman. I suppose some writings of about
George bouquet or also known as Swami near Milan and the giri,
there is a yogic aspect to this, since the sound is a form of
subtle inner hearing, which is quintessential element in
meditation. Thus, working with sound in
meditation, we can access the Limitless Consciousness that is
Brahman. After this yoga valka, again
rejected the reward from The King.
The King told the sage, what tactic imaginable are told him,
friends. You must be aware of satyabhama.
I have couple of episodes dedicated to him, please do
listen to them to understand the context.
So satakam were told the king janaka that man has or mind is
the Brahmin your Google customer.
Smiled and told him that he needs to understand it in
totality the manners or mind is this Abode and undifferentiated
space or untick show his support.
It should be meditated upon as Bliss or happiness, the Mind
experiences happiness and it hover around through the space
for happiness with the mind, a man can fall in love with a
woman. She is the cause of bliss.
When after the union, a child is born from her and resemble, the
man and the woman. So they are the cause of this
Bliss. Manas or mind is the Supreme
Brahman. However, something to ponder
upon, if a human whether intelligent or not, can he or
she be happy? What causes happiness?
We all know all of us has mind and if mind is supreme Brahman
and do all organisms with mind attain Eternal Bliss, please do
write to me about it, some of my friends and listeners discuss
with me on these topics. It is more of a risk.
Search with more questions than answers.
It's fun and engaging. Please do write to me at earlier
things at gmail.com. Now, coming back to the story,
then the king told yoga Valk about what without the son of
circular told him, we have discussed with dr.
Story earlier and also learned that his pride and arrogance
killed him. Yoga volcker was bit sad on
hearing about with dogs as due to the war of words and his
arrogance. Led him to his death.
The king told me, doctor told me that hurt or rather is Brahman
jaggu valka said, it's hard his Abode an undifferentiated space
or ether. Is it support?
It should be meditated. Upon as stability, the king
asked. What is stability?
Then we are give Alka Sagar valka said.
The heart itself is stability for all beings, find rest in
heart so riddle. Say is the Supreme Brahman.
After his barrage of questions and his clarifications yoga
valka, still did not accept any reward from The King, The King
rose up from his throne and approached.
The sage with folded hands, he bowed down in front of the shade
and said I bow down to you or your Google Kerr.
Please teach me further. Your Google car said, oh, my
Emperor as a person wishing to go on, for a long journey will
arrange. Or a chariot or a boat you to
have full equipped your mind with sacred.
Wisdom of Brahman, although are endowed with all the glories, as
you have studied, Vedas and heard punishers you are, but the
midst of fear of owing to the absence of self-knowledge.
You are far from achieving the objective of Life.
Till you realize the Supreme Brahman with all this outfit
serving as a A boat or a chariot where you will go.
When your soul departs from your body, what you will attain the
king said, I do not know o Sage. Where shall I go yoga, valka,
smiled and said o Emperor. If you do not know then I will
tell you where you will go. The king submitted.
Yes, we are. Go.
Welker please tell me your Google Cast.
Said, the right eye of the Brahman is in the And he's
indirectly called Indra. Thus, you have attained the self
called voice vanara, human form. That is in the left eye, is his
wife, veerraju, both being objects of enjoyment.
This couple is united in dreams their food or means of substance
is the lump of blood in the heart.
The food we eat takes two forms across part is excreted and rest
is meat. Embolized in two ways under the
action of internal hate that part of child, which is of
medium, finest passes through the successive stages of blood
and nourishes. The gross body made up of five
elements, the finest part of the child, is the lump of blood,
which penetrating our fine nerves causes Indra identified
with the subtle body and call the ages.
Are the three stages of consciousness.
Our visual, which is the waking State, engaging, the gross, and
physical body Tejas, which is the dream state engaging, the
subtle body and Pristina, which is the Deep Sleep.
Stage engaging the Casual Bliss body.
Their rap is like a net-like structure in the heart and it
has numerous openings of nerves and it moves upward from heart
and Spills. In 2000 Parts.
In this body, there are nerves called heater, which are placed
in the heart. Through these extremely fine
knows essence of our food passes as it moves on the body of
Indra, which is the subtle body is nourished by this food and
held fast as by a cord that I Joshua is nourished by the finer
food than y shuara. This stage a show which is
identified with the heart is supported by the subtle vital
force and becomes the vital force.
The sage of has first attained device for inara and then digest
or self identified with the heart.
And after that self identified with the wife, Force or Prana.
East is the Eastern vital force. West has the West vital force.
South has a sudden vital force. North has done, or been vital
force Direction above the upper vital force and the direction
below. The nether is the vital force
and all quarters of different, vital forces.
The sage identifies them as stages.
With vital forces, comprise everything this self is that
which has been described in the scriptures.
Others. As not this not this, this is a
suitable for. It is never perceived undecaying
as it has never decays unfettered as it never feels
pain and never suffers an injury.
Oh, Emperor. Now you have attained that which
is Free From Fear. After listening to these, the
king Stood Still for a few moments.
Trying to gulp in the knowledge, he received from the sage, then
he said over a word yoga valka, made that, which is Free From
Fear be yours for you have made that, which is free from fears
known to us, my salutations to you.
This Empire of video is yours. O sage and I am also at your
service. Friends in reality.
The liberated person. Does not go anywhere but abides
as self. Therefore let us strive to know
the self and transcend all coming and going So in this
story, you may have noticed that yoga valka was offered 1000 cows
and the bull as large as an elephant.
Each time he presented an instruction to the king,
however, he resisted and waited, till the end of the instruction.
And at the end of the instruction, he was rewarded
with the kingdom of India and King himself as his servant.
So what does it convey? You know what a life we also
have many small wins but it is. But is that our final Victory?
No, it is not. We need to move on and keep on
going and do our duties. These small wins must not
tarnish our pride. We must not get corrupted with
this small victories and wait for the final Victory.
As we will be handsomely, rewarded rewarded.
Don't think this reward is monetary gain or something, but
it is something much higher and greater in our corporate life.
We go through small battles, everyday Battle of meeting.
The deadline Battle of completing a functionality
Battle of meaning and New Deal Battle of impressing or bosses
and peers. And so on, do we must stop after
winning one? Such small battle.
What will happen to other battles if we stop?
Op. As we keep on.
And on, with our small battles, we gear up for a larger and
bigger one, and on being successful, we are paid
equivalent. Is it like a stock more?
You? Wait, long term, what do you
gain? that was today's story, my
friend and now for today's questions Question number one.
What did King janaka wanted to reward the sage with when each
time he answered his query. Number two.
Can you explain to me how vital force is supreme Brahman?
Number three. What did the sage win
eventually? please email me your responses
