Stories from upanishads retold by archaea gosvami.
My dear friends, our listeners is been a while.
I could upload any new episodes resident being multiple but here
I am with a new story from the upanishads.
Before I begin my Earnest request to you to follow
subscribe, like, share or download my podcast.
It will immensely helped me to keep going and provide you with
these contents. Also, please do write to me at
my email address, or hear things at gmail.com.
That is a are G Hy. A think101 gmail.com.
I receive emails from my listeners and we discuss lots of
things and often goes into a discovery session on various
questions. It's real fun and interesting.
I would really encourage you to write to me.
Today's story is a follow-up for a continuation story from three
characters on which I have already told you earlier Bravo,
Hannah story was discussed in episode number 14.
That is story of three friends, Bravo, Hannah, silica, and
Katakana Buddha, LA coruna, and shoot, the kitchen story was
discussed in episode 15. That was a sea story of food,
alaka, irony and shittaka too high.
Would highly recommend you to listen to them, to understand
the continuity, as per the book, the character of Self in Ancient
India by Bryan, black brings in portrayal of character
contributes in philosophical position of the text.
Such as the character of sweet turkey to which has been
mentioned in brihadaranyaka upanishad, chandogya upanishad,
and cozy turkey position. Esper open assured, the
researcher Patrick, Olive lay, there are variations in the
character and presentation in different position, these
different to punish our present, the same story in different
ways. He argues that this variation in
presentation is deliberate, and each version has his own
narrative logic, different portraits of, she took a to and
pro Hannah giovanelli in different open shots, tells out
something about the overall stance will easily.
They concluded that brihadaranyaka upanishad favors,
the East and is critical about Kuru panchala brahmins and
present sweater K2 as a rude and spoiled Brahmin.
However, in chandogya upanishad, the portrayal is more
conservative and presents the story of sweeter K2 and coup de
la coruna more positively does the portrayal of certain
characters, in who punishes is a part of the narrative strategy
and political positioning of the text.
If in case Ace you have not listened to my story of that
poem, a see. Please do listen to that episode
in Breda arnica, and chandogya upanishad should take a two
story. Introduces teachings of five
fires and two parts. Whereas in cosmetic upanishad,
it introduces the doctrine of the path to heaven.
Another important point to note, is that in chandogya upanishad,
seem to emphasize on the formal instruction between the teacher
and the student more such as a story of dr.
Massey. Whereas here, the aaronic
upanishad focuses mostly on debates such as stories of
yagya. Volker, today's story is
featured in Breda and Nick open shot chapter six section to
chronologically this story calls after Chapter 15, when should
take a to gained the knowledge of the term, a see from his
father who de la coruna as per the book political history of
ancient India by him to underwrite choudary Pravana,
Jerry Vale was a punch, Allah king and a contemporary to King
janaka of adaiah. We have already heard his story
when he and his two other friends exchange their
experiences of Brahman. And how he Brought out the
significance of home. As a king ravana was a good
ruler and was ruling his kingdom as per the ancient Hindu polity
as explained by bhishma pitamah in shanthi, purview of
Mahabharata. Ravana was the man of action nor
of Truth and perceptor of artman.
As we have seen that in the courtroom of King, janaka Vidya
was filled with Scholars and well-versed brahmins.
So was King provenance courtroom.
It was also filled With innumerable, eminent Scholars,
and brahmins questing for fame name and money.
This Story begins from the point when shittaka to weaponized with
the knowledge of Vedas and true knowledge from his father about
Brahman comes to King provenance courtroom.
Completely drenched in arrogance about knowledge of Vedas and
Brahman which you used as a means to measure others
knowledge and asked the guard of the courtroom seeking to see the
king. The guards informed the king
about should taquitos arrival Pro.
Hannah knew about the deadly Pride which has coiled.
She took it to completely like a python.
He also knew that this will not bring any Fame rather only Aid
in his downfall. So he decided to teach him a
lesson. He asked the guards to bring him
to the courtroom. As shweta, K2 entered boldly, he
saw great Scholars, wise men and cortman sitting in the
courtroom. They were all looking at him.
They were curious to know what will happen next Twitter.
K2 burnt in his pride didn't bother to pay much heed to these
great Scholars and rather worked up straight to the king.
The king smiled without showing much.
Respect said, oh boy, have you been taught by your father King
Pravana being a kshatriya addressing a Brahman in this
manner was quite unexpected. This Shooks with the K2 another
brahmins in the courtroom Dick in the vaccine should to get to
replied. Yes sir.
If you have a doubt, please question me again, nodded and
smiled and thought for a while, then he asked the Brahmin.
Do you know how it is the beings travel over different paths?
After death, how they would return to this world Whitaker to
was not expecting such a question?
He had no idea on what he would respond to.
So he said no sir. I do not know about it.
The king asked his nest question.
How is it that the world of the Dead is never failed, although
many died and passed away. Before she took it to could
answer anything, the king asked his next question.
How does the water that is offered as oblation Rises and
speaks with human voice as it were?
King continues. His next question.
What is davana? That is way of the god.
And petrea Anna, the axis to the way of the mains.
How does one gain access to them?
I'm the king continued. We have heard the words of
Mantra from the sages doing sooty.
A srinivasan Petrina mahom, Deva na mood.
Marty Arnhem. Which means I have heard the two
routes from Maine leading to the gods and then to Maine's going
along with them. All, this is United.
They lie between the father that is the heaven and mother.
That is the Earth. With the could do was completely
stumped. He was at the loss of words and
could only nod and said sir, I do not know them.
These question pertained to the secret lover of kshatriyas and
had be jealous. Lee guarded by them as rajagaha
or the Royal secret completely uprooted switchgear to stood
there in the courtroom. Not knowing what to do next.
The king invited him to stay. He asked the court ladies to
bring water for washing his feet and customary offerings for the
respected guests. But shittaka to reject, did the
invite and hurried away from the courtroom boiling with anger.
He came back to his father, the sage who da la coruna.
He was so angry that he didn't even greeted.
His parents Sage knew something was cooking up with the key to
ask his father. Father, how do you say that you
have taught me everything every branch of knowledge say just
what happened my child. You seem to be hurt by someone.
Anguish with the kit to road that retched, shut real king,
ravana. He asked me questions, and I
didn't know the answers to any one of them.
See how I am disgraced in the courtroom, filled with Scholars
and learned men and women? I could not answer even one
question asked by that Sharia. And it's all because of you,
Then 22 told his father about the questions with the King had
asked on hearing this questions. The sage told his son, my child
believes me, I have taught you everything.
I knew of as far as provide honest questions, unfortunately,
I too. Don't have complete answers to
them. That is why they weren't taught
to you. Let me propose you something.
My child let us us both go to King's courtroom as a seeker of
Truth and a student's which way to get to was adamant and
refused to go. As he thought he was humiliated
by the king in the courtroom, he could not bear.
A single moment in that courtroom after repeated.
Pleading Sage failed to convince his son.
Sage good Alucard decided to go alone.
He went to the court room of the king and with all humility
greeted, all the scholars, and the skin.
The reception that awaited him was entirely different.
The king, gave him a seat washed, his feet and made him
the river initial offerings of cattle and horses.
With all humility. He told the king, I am grateful
to you my king for all the honor and offer of gifts but I haven't
come here for the sake of gifts. I have come here to see the
answers to the questions. You have asked my son shweta.
K2 please grant me The Treasure of knowledge Which is far
superior than any type of treasure or wealth.
I approached you as a student my king.
The King was deeply touched by the sages.
Humility and hunger for his knowledge.
He knew that it is his sincerity, which qualifies the
Seeker to the reception of the knowledge of Brahman with folded
hands. The king told the sage Osage
would alaka. Please do not take offense with
us, this learning, but never shared with the brahmins in the
past. However, your sincerity and
humility. E is pristine as your
earnestness is also. Excellent, which has won my
heart, so I shall teach you about it.
So please listen to the answers. Again, continued, what is
started responding to the fourth question.
First, as this would bring out the solution to the other
questions, he started explaining the punch Agony with Dia, which
is the knowledge of five fires, friends punch, ugh, leave it.
There is also mentioned in chandogya upanishad in chapter
Fifth and also in Brother and Me cope initial this knowledge of
or Vidya presence. The symbolic Agony or fire is
the object of meditation and has five important aspects to it.
And they are three words that is heaven, Earth, and intermediate
space, man and woman this knowledge on which the eye is
taught in connection with the doctrine of transmigration of
souls as the doctrine of decent. The punch Agony with Dia, or the
knowledge of five fires explains how the body is linked to the
universe. And why the minds true nature is
to manifest his will in The universe.
The fight fires, called punch, ugh.
Knees are not physical fires, but meditation techniques The
fire here is a symbolic of a sacrifice which one performs
through contemplation. The elemental matter gets
converted into life or a person gradually by going through five
different stages. These five different stages,
represent the five different sacrifices or punch, Agony in
chandogya upanishad, it conceives, the entire Universal
activity of creation as a yoga or sacrifice, Where everything
is connected. Now, coming back to the story.
The King began his punch, ugh. Nvidia with the first fire that
lease or goloka, or Heaven. He said o Sage that's were God,
or Heaven is a fire and of that fire son, is the fill or submit
or the sacrificial, steak rays of the sun, are it smoke the
days? It's Flames.
The 4/4 is Thunder and the intermediate quarters.
Are it Sparks in this? Fire, the gods offer faith.
And out of that offering King moon is born here.
What is meant that? The heaven is the first fire.
And the Sun, is the fuel to that fire because stun eliminates the
heaven rays of his smoke because of the similarity of rising from
the field for the Rays. A mandate from the Sun and
smoke. As we know it comes from the
fuel. The day is lame because both are
bright. You too son.
The day shines brightly so hard the Flames, which shines
brightly 4/4, I Center because both present the pacified State
as it is like a space where there is no heat or luster.
Intermediate quarters is Parks because they are scattered like
Sparks in this fire of Heaven, possesses such attributes, the
gods that is in the offer Faith as oblation.
When agnihotra is performed, the jiva's become Soma Raja.
That is the king Moon and enters.
Well, the logo or Heaven, thus out of that offering King Moon,
which are the king of May. And brahmins are born.
Then the king continued to explain about the second fire,
which is Virginia for junior. The god of rain is a fire, the
ear is its will. The clouds is more, lightning is
flame, Thunder is sender. And rumbling is Park in this
fire of God's offers ohm Raja or the king Moon out of that
offering rain is produced. This means that Second
receptacle of the, to ablation in the order of their return, is
Persian Nia, which is the fire. The ear is, it's well, and for
this fire, Persian Eyes kindled, by that, it is revolved, which
is Parts. Commencing, with Autumn and
ending with Summer, The clouds of smoke being produced from
smoke or because it's cloudy appearance.
Lightning is flame. Since both are luminous Thunder.
Its Center because both represent pacified State and are
hard. The ramblings of the cloud are
is Parks because boots, cutter and a numerous in this
receptacle of to ovulation the gods.
Those very priest mentioned earlier offer King Moon who was
produced out of the offering of faith in the fire of Heaven.
He is offered in the second fire that is of Persian Nia and out
of that offering of moon rain is produced The king now, started
explaining about the third fire. The world is a fire.
The Earth is useful to fire, its smoke.
The night is it's lame. The Moon is sender and the stars
is parks in this fire. The gods offer rain and out of
that offerings. Food is produced.
In this, the king meant is the world where all creatures are
born and experience the results of their past Deeds.
It contains of actions its factors and his results.
This world is the third fire. The Earth is the fuel of this
fire as it is kindled by the Earth which is provided with
numerous materials for enjoyment of living beings fire.
Is it smoke as they both rise from their about that is Earth.
The night is his lame because both are created when they come
in contact with the fuel. That means, as the flame is
produced by the contact of filled with fire.
So is that Night by the contact of fuel of the Earth.
For the Earth's Shadow is called the darkness of the night.
The Moon is this sender and is Created from Flames, the cinder
produced from the flames. And so is the moon in the night,
because both present, the pacified State 2 stars is Parks
because Boot scatter, the food is produced only when there is
adequate rainfall. So food is produced from rain
again, the king continued to explain about the fourth Fire.
Man, is the fourth fire Osage to open mouth.
Is this fill a vital force? Is you smoke?
Speech is its Flames. The eyes.
It is Center and the ears is Sparkle.
In this fire, God's offer food. And out of that, offering seed
is produced, this verse explains, the fourth fire, which
is the man, the open mouth of a man is the field.
As through it. The man shines in speech, study
the scripture, As fire with Will vital forces rises from the
mouth, and is the smoke speech is the flame of as the speech
signifies, an object, whereas blames reveals everything around
it. I just endured as both
represents, the pacified State forms of vital forces or the
gods and they put in the food for man and outcome of that food
is the seed. As the man, when his adult and
received complete nourishment, and ready to have reproductive
building blocks, such as worm and an egg.
Which acts as a seed does seed is the outcome of the food.
Now, the king tells the schedule dialect Rooney about the fifth
fire, women are the fifth fire in this fire gods offers seed
and out of that offering a man is born.
He leaves as long as he's destined to live here, the king
explained that the women are the fifth fire and when God's offers
seed, Read and man is born from it.
This means that seeds such as sperm or eggs in do turris.
When they've come together fuses, to give birth to a human
being. That man will live as long as
his test in to live, just to tie up the explanation of punch
Agony, we can think of this as a sequential set of occurrences on
how a life is born in his mother's womb.
This process starts when the Jiva which has ascended to the
heavens. By the virtue of good, deeds and
windows merits exhausted, descend to the Earth to take up
another life in form of rain. Then the self ends a super food
grain of a growing plant, which has grown because of the rain
this food grain. When consumed by a man enters
the bloodstream and eventually turns into sperm.
Finally, when after sexual intercourse, the seminal fluid
along with the Jiva enters the woman's voice.
Umm, and gets embodied. Friends.
Don't you think our ancient sages and writers of upanishads?
Where way advanced in all the streams of science including
Gynecology? They could think of the complex
scientific phenomena and explain them through spiritual aesthetic
versus amazing, isn't it? The king didn't stop after this.
Rather he continued. Then when the man dies, his dead
body is offered to the fire as this lifeless body Burns in the
fire. The smoke from his burning
tissues Rise Above. So this fire becomes his fire.
The fuel becomes his fill to smoke his smoke.
The flame, his flame. The cinder, his Center Sparks
his Parks, as the dead body completely burns out and turns
into To ashes in this fire, God's offer, man.
And out of that offering, man, images radiant, that means the
man burning on the pyre becomes exceedingly, bright as his
lifeless body. Ferociously burns out having
being purified by all the rites performed from his birth till
his death. After explaining a bunch of need
to the halacha king started explaining further, as long as
the Those are the people who are in Greece.
The do not know either the meditation on the five fires or
sucked. The Brahmin, they are born from
the fire for women. When the fifth of elation
beginning with that of faith has been offered in order and again,
perform rites like jugni hotel room with a view to attaining
other world through those rise. They again go through the world
of Maine's passing order of data, E of smoke Etc and again,
return passing in order the rain God and so forth, then they are
again, born of fire of women again perform rights.
And so on rotating constantly like a Potter's Wheel by their
comings and goings between this world and the next But when the
house holder of the greatest node, a meditation on five
fires, they are freed from the rotation and reach the flame,
which is the DT identified with the flame and called by that
name, which is stationed in the northern route, they reach him
for the monks, have no direct relation to the flame, but there
is no restriction with regard to the time of death.
So the day is the duty of the day.
That occurs as soon as the term or contract of life is over.
There is no rule that the knower of this meditation can die at
daytime or those who must die at night.
After DT of the day, they reach the DT of the bright Fortnight
and then reach the six months in which the sun travels northward,
which is the June Solstice, when the Sun rises considerably north
of due east and sets considerably north of Due.
West being conducted by these deities, they reach the DT
identified with the world of God's, then they reach the Sun.
From the Sun, they reached DT identified with lightning as
they reach the DT of lightning. A being created from the minds
of hidden agava adenosine of this world comes in contacts
them to the worlds of her nagappa.
Once reaching the worlds of hidden acaba de do not return to
this world, the physical body of a man dissolves into Elements,
which constitute it. But the destiny of the Soul,
depends on the actions performed and knowledge.
Acquired. The king continued definition.
While those who conquer the world through sacrifices such as
Agony, Hoekstra charity, which is distribution of gifts among
pores and need, he's outside the Altar and austerity such as
scripture and John Rihanna without initiation outside the
altar. Reach the DT of smoke.
All the deities are conductors and help to reach the next DT in
order from DT of night to the DT of fourth Moon in Which the moon
wanes to the DT of six months, in which the moon moves South
Words, which is the December Solstice.
And when the Sun rises considerably south of due east
and sets considerably south of Due West, from this, their
reach, the deity of the world of mains.
And from him, the moon, enriching Moon, they become the
food for the gods to enjoy them as the priest.
Drinking the fracture, if Isis, The Shining soma-rasa, or the
Jews, similarly, the gods to enjoy the ritualist who have got
the new bodies in the moon and have become materials of their
luxury. Giving them frequent intervals
of Rest by rewarding them in accordance of their past work.
When the past work, sacrifices Charities, and austerities are
exhausted to reach The Ether or space.
Then those ritual is reviewing in the air are borne hither and
thither, by the East Wind, then from the air, they reached the
rain and fall to the Earth as rain.
Rain AIDS in growing of the crops and plants which become
food. The food is eaten by the man,
and the woman and produce seeds such as semen and eggs
respectively, for reproduction. When they are born again, When
they perform write such as agnihotra with a view to go to
other worlds, then they move repeatedly between Moon and the
world passing in the order. As mentioned earlier, the ritual
is continuously rotate in this manner as a potter's wheel until
they know about Brahman. So as to attain the northern Wei
or immediate liberation, The one who does not practice either
meditation or rights to attain Northern way or sudden we become
insects or mods or other lower creatures such as gnats and
mosquitoes. This last trans migratory
existence is very painful and extremely hard for the one who
has fallen into it and get out of it.
Friends note the word worlds in the plural, which means it has
two planes higher and the lower. Is it a concept of Multiverse
something to think about the purpose of these verses is to
try our best to give up natural pursuit of work and knowledge
and practice those rights and meditation, which are enjoined
by the scriptures. And our means of attaining,
Northern, or Southern ways, which Are the two parts.
The first part is the path of light called the Vienna and the
other path is the path of Darkness called petrea, and or
de Mañana de respectively correspond to the day and night.
And also referred to as with Ariana and dakshina.
The new owner of Brahman, all seasons and times are same for
him to it's only homecoming of the spirit, when the person
returns to his real home, it hardly matters, whether it is
day or night or what season of the year, it is, the one who has
attained the real spiritual knowledge goes by the path of
light and does not return to the Earthly existence.
The one with no knowledge or partial knowledge.
Goes by the path of darkness and falls into Eternal cycle of
birth and death and Surfers. Thus some go to the world of
Brahman and never returned, while some good.
The heaven and remain there for some time and return to the
Earth to complete their cycle of birth and death.
The land of death, never fills up because those who Travel by
day wanna lose their individuality and become one
with Brahman. If they are, gradually able to
realize Brahman by crom inductee, the significance of
sacrifice is that this agnihotra, which is the process
of yoga of casting of various sacrifices Into the Fire.
Altar is a diatomic with the spiritual Dimension, the sense
of Brahman as felt in the Human heart is the hole through the
officiating, priest of the entire sacrifice,
globalization's of water goes up as fate, shraddha and is offered
as an actor or soma-rasa to The Shining ones.
This is how it speaks with the human voice as it.
Were-- on behalf of one. Who offers it, the significance
of such Cosmic agnihotra is that it enables some to meditate on
suck. The Brahmin there by one
Attained Abode of Brahman brahmaloka, where one lives
forever and does not return to the world.
After getting enriched by this knowledge, say Judah La coruna
profusely thanked King Pro vahana for enlighting, him about
the great mystery of Brahman. It dissolved all his doubts and
got answers to all his questions.
And before leaving the courtroom, the sage saluted, the
King Mo Guru, Baba Namo Guru Baba, Friends across, who
punishes you may have noticed that the true knowledge is not
confined to brahmins and Scholars.
Only, there are numerous accounts and stories in which
the true knowledge of Brahman is actually given by a shut Korea
or someone else. We have seen that in the story
of King Janice fruity and the cart puller requa in the story
of Santa, he was taught about the Brahman by non-human
entities. So true knowledge can reside in
One. We are all container of
knowledge and it is really up to us how we decide to use it and
spread it, there is no caste ISM in true knowledge.
The true knowledge is a blue ocean Where We Are The Aquatic
animals swimming in it. It's really up to us how much we
can make use of it. Just like some fishes which stay
at the bottom as bottom dwellers throughout this lifetime and
never gets To see or experience, what is at the surface of the
ocean? Similarly, there are many
aquatic animals and Fishers who dwell only at the surface and
never goes to the bottom and always remain a mystery for
them. The real King are those fishes
which can travel across from surface to bottom and vice versa
such as a shark and can experience the waters
everywhere. So let us swim through this
ocean of knowledge and let us not be confined to only an area
rather swim across and gain as much knowledge.
We can This is what the story of o de la coruna, and King Pravana
tells us the sage being a learned and respected, Brahmin
left. All his ego and went to the King
as a student seeking knowledge. And in the end, he honored the
King by calling him a guru or a teacher.
So, that was today's episode from behavior and neck opening
