MUNDAKOPANISHAT Vs BUDDHA

MUNDAKOPANISHAT ( VEDANTIC TEACHING )
DESIRE NOTHING !
BEST & SHORTEST WAY BUT THE MOST DIFFICULT PATH :

And if anyone could achieve it, He was Siddharth Gautom who became BUDDHA , not by name only but In SPIRIT and REALITY !

BUDDHISM came after him. And before that he was a Vedantist or 'Sanatanist' and also a rebeL against Vedic Rituaism, and like Jesus who was a Jew before Christianity.

It was Munadakopanishat of Vedanta which inspired him most, perhaps.

'DESIRING NOTHING IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD IS THE BEST WAY " - Was taught by MUNDAKOPANISHAT [Part 3;sec-2}.
But though it is a single sentence , it is the most difficult path in bioogical life and living '
And Gautam Buddha ...did it or achieved it.

"Desire nothing ! Besire Nothing ! ! .. that is like, - swallowing the whole Heaven, after a single bite. And only Gautam Buddha could do it and did it

SPIRITUAL MESSAGE

FROM UPANISHAADS [Brhadaranyaka]
Three Types of human beings Created By the DIVINE :They are :-
I Godly Men , whose quality is Self Control
II. Natural Men , their character is to Give and help
III. Asuric or Dominating Men who wants to rule over everything and possess in any way and are naturally cruel. They should try to be kind and sympathetic .
_______________________________
DEATH : It is the merging of Individual self into Cosmic Consciousness at the end of Life. Soon after death one lives in Third State Of Consciousness.
__________________________________________
Individual Existence happens in the State of Duality.

VEDANTIC DARSHAN -II

(Source : CHHANDOGYA UPANISHAT) : ( Shwetaketu Learns):
In the begining there was the 'Being' , - the one without second. There was nothing that did not come out of THAT..................................................
wHAT IS death ? - Ans: THE HOUSE IS DESERTED . THE DWELER IS GONE
.
When salt dissolves in water, where is it not.[The Divine or First Cause is in everything and everywhere.[Tattamasi , Shwetaketu(Sanskrit] or "you are that".

There are two types of Beilef :Devas and Asuras wanted to know the TRUTH.And PRAJAPATI told. Each side could receive according to their own Capacity. The Asuric Mind (Mammons) learnt that Body and Sense- pleasure were the Supreme Object of living( like Modern Sensual World) and went back to dress-up the body and feed the senses of Desire [like modern Electronic - Feeding of 'Late-Night' shows]
And the higher intellect (Indra) was not satisfied and waited more and learnt that- it was the SElf( SOUL )in the body ,to be fed better, and SELF or Soul was, dissolved in the body, like Salt in Water.
So, each one will believe according to his own Capacity and Desire.

VEDANTA Vs COSMOLOGY

SEEDS OF MODERN SCIENCE & COSMOLOGY IN VEDANTA (OR UPANISHATS,INDIA :even , earier than Greeks)
1. The DIVINE or 1st Cause is - smaller than Atom and larger than the COSMIC EGG [Sanskrit - 'Anaroranyan ; mahato Mahiyan' ; ref- Chhandogya Upanishat} and by Modern science it is only suggestive of 'String' at one end and Cosmos of Multiverse theory at the other. And this Darshan of Indian sages is many centuries before Greeks[ about 4000 years B.C.]
2.Now about SPACE -TIME of Einstein : In Brihadaranyaka of Jagyavalkya, Gargi the Woman and a sage ( note the status of women ,then in India) asks Jagyavalkya as follows;
Q: That which is above Heaven and below the Earth and which is also between Heaven and Earth and that which is not affected by Time(Past/Present/Future), in what is that woven ?
Ans: It is in Space.
Q: In what is Space woven ?
Jagyavakya : In AKSHARA( Immutibe Vacuum or Maybe, Dark energy of Modern Cosmoogy or some thing waiting to be found). It consumes nothing and nothing can consume it .
_______________________________________________________________________
Modern Cosmoogist may explore on these 'seed' ideas of Sages about 4000 years B.C.
Einstein did not need a laboratory to design his E= M.c-Square ; nor did those sages need modern Technoogy .They reached such Truth through Specualation and contemplationas as also the way , Einstein did, party.

' TAO ' OF TRANSCENDENCE

Those who per sue only the mutable mammon- life , shall enter the 'Dark' world after Death.
Yet, those that only follow the immutable Ethereal life, shall enter the deeper Dark-life, after Dearh.
The synthesis , integration and balance of both, leads to ideal Spiritual path.
[Original : ISHO -PANISHAT (Vedanta) ; Transpirated interpretation by Phanibhusan)

ESCAPE OR OVERCOME !

By avoiding ,dear
you may escape - or
only suppress for some times
any field or feelings .

But only by facing it
or by rational thoughts
or experience -you
can overcome
or transcend all .

ISHOPANISHAT : (VEDANTA )

PLAY HOUSE OF THE DIVINE :

" Ishavasya Idam sarbam Jat-inchit Jagtyang jagat
Tena Tyaktena Bhunjitha Maa gridha kashya -swit Dhanam .
(Ishopanishat ;from Shatapatha Brahmana - in Sanskrit )

All that is visible,perceptible or measurable in this Universe ( or Universe-s of Modern Cosmology) are within the Conciousness(Collective Conciousness of the DIVINE or First CAUSE.
As such, Enjoy thy life and wealth through Renunciation . Do not greed ,even, for any one's or even your own Wealth as, nothing ,not even your wealth is your Own . {you are only a 'Trustee' of your wealth for Cosmic Play ).
[poetic trans pirated'd Interpretation of the First 'sloka' of UPANISHAT.

SPIRITUAL COSMOLOGY

THE GEETA EXPLAINS THE COSMOS AND ALSO IDENTIFIES THE DIVINE :

( This is a transpirated interpretation , trying to reach closest to the spiritual flavour of Original Poetry)

'All that is manifested , perceptible and measurable within Universes or Cosmos , is manifested by the mutable and immutable power ( Divine Consciousness) of the Absolute or the first Cause.
And as such, every thing as stated above is within the DIVINE ( because nothing can exist outsie the DIVINE ( Geeta Ch -8/4)

Not even within the Divinein, real meaning of 'REALITY' becuse the whole 'play' in the Field of 'Relativity' is a Cosmic 'Play' of manifestating ILLUSION ( Mayabad of Shankaracharya ) and even though the manifested COSMOS is a 'PLAY' out of the DIVINE's CONSCIOUSNESS, the cosmos is never FREE but ever under the immutable influence or power of the DIVINE through Collective Conciousness of the FIRST CAUSE . Or DIVINE (Geeta -Ch 8/5 )

VEDANTIC DARSHAN II

TWO STATES OF OUR MIND ( Like Two Birds On The Same tree )

Two Levels Of our Mind
Like two Birds on The single tree
closely twined and in subtle harmony

Of the two one is picking and -
pecking every thing for material gain
while the other , is ever
transcending all those earthly desires
looks beyond to cerulean sky !

Translated & trans -created the poem from a 'piece' of Kathopanishat.

VEDANTIC DARSHAN

THE ABODE OF THE DIVINE
(After Kathopanishat)

The reporters within our body are 'perceptions'
The Master of our Perceptions is the Mind
The ruler of our mind is our Intellect
Above our Intellect is our Ego
or the idea of individual self
ruled by individual conscious field.

And Supreme Master of them all
is the Consciousness ( Collective)
Or the FIELD of the DIVINE !.
*( Transsreation - attempt by Phani Basu . This piece is also found in The Geeta ; Ch 3;/42)

VEDANTA & COSMOOGY

SPACE - TIME & COSMOS :

[Extract from Brihadaranyaka Upakshan of Jagyavalka]
And , then , GARGI asked Jagys valkya :
'That which is above the Heaven and below the Earth and which is also in between heave and Earth and which remains the same through Past, Present and Future (not affected by Time ;, - in what is that woven ?
Jagyvalkya repled : -It is Space
'In what is space itsef Woven ?
Jagyavalkya's reply : - It is 'Akshara' (immutible) that consumes 'Nothing' and Nothing can Consume it .
(And who ever dies with out this knowledge , dies in pitiable condition to 'Return'.
*** May also know and note the Place or osition of Women in India in that period of about 4000 years before this day.

This is from my waiting Manuscript - ' GIST of VEDANTA' [From my colective learning and knowledge gathered from so many sources including from Eknath Easwaran's book,- 'The Upanishads' , a present from my daughter Neela Chako , while in U.S.A.

MODERN COSMOLOGY IN ' GEETA "

'SUB -ATOMIC AND QUANTUM HYPOTHESIS' ALSO IN GEETA of 5Th Century B.C ( INDIA) :

"Abyaktat Byaktaye Sarbaa , Pravabanta Aharaagame
Ratraagamey Praleeantey , Tatraivabyakta samgakey "( in Sanskrit ) Geeta [Chapter 8; Sloka !8 ]

Translating :

All that is visible or perceptible in this Universe, are manifested products from the Un - manifested ( sub-atomic field ) and are are perceptible in the light of the Cosmic DAY-.

And with the descent of 'NIGHT' ( Cosmic Desolution) the manifested Universe revert back to Unmanifested state (Sub-atomic, Quantum State) again.

* The above revelation naturally suggest the Cyclic and' ' End-less Universs ' - theory of Modern Cosmology [unto the Super-string or M -theory].

Interesting Revelation ! And I feel so happy that I wrote the Poem Maha- kavya (Epic Poem) in Bengali in 1990s( 02/09/ 90 ) , that was published in book titled ' Abaar Phirey Elaam ' [ again I Return ] on 7Th December , 2008 from Delhi -110019 .

I now with happiness and joy request all lovers of poetry and Science to read that poem translated , here, in English , in my BLOG [ Cosmic ideas & Spirituality] to read and verify how my poetic feeling or intuition coincided so much with the scientific Observations of 'To Day

EPIC POEM

Part -I

The park is here / the bench in this park / the rose- plant there / and there was the blossoming rose

Part - ii

A young lover, - clipped the flower with his nails / pinned it on the lady's hair / she , in turn and with ecstatic joy , slanted on to him / it was a spring time bloom ! - Ali around / and a little later, - the dying rose too / shrank on the lovers decorated hair .

Part - iii

The aftermath period or history / did not record or tell / who offered there and how much gift / On that green Stage of Love !

[composed on 2ND Sept,1990 in Bengali ; published in book -form on 7Th December, 2008 ]

SPIRITUAL - SEARCH

Two friends [and 'Devotee'] left their home to meet God and to say' good mornig' ( was there any morning or eveniing in God's domain ) !

Any way , they first came to a Hindu Temple where devotional songs were being sung with loudspeaker ( so that God does not miss it ) singing - Oh ! beloved god , please, conme and bless us !

The friend - A asked Mr. B : - ' should we not stop here ? ' /// 'No, the friend replied - Do't you know by their song that God has not yet come here. Let's walk ahead. /......

They came near a Mosque where a loud 'Ajaan' was praising ' Allah ho...Akbar'. This time again Mr .B wanted to stop optimistically. But the friend explained - Don't you understand that he is only praising Allah and not inviting Him yet. So, let us move ahead .

Some half an hour ahead they came to a Church where a Priest was telling before a house -full of 'seekers' in the name of God - Oh ! beloved god ! , here , they are sinners and please bless them in exchange of 'Redemption''

Mr . B was very eager to buy his liberation but his friend stopped him this time too saying - Don't you find , they all are sinners and it will take long long time for us in the que , to get our chance to see HIM !.,

So they left the church too and proceeded ahead and came to a Tree-shade on the road , in the evening. There they found an Old man in simple white clothes and sitting with solid silence all around him, totally absobed staring at the after-noon sky and with all smiles covering his face '

At once the friend Mr. A sopped there in joy and declared to his friend - ' see , he is so much full and with so happy face. He must have found 'something' !, Let' s sit and wait and learn from him '.

{ the story was read sometimes or heard somewhere ]

VITAL DESIRE

Like pimples it comes out

as prickly -heat , it tickles you -or

with pas son we want to possess

or with cravings we swallow in

because and as if more often than not

our ill-health is , perhaps, exciting us.

It is conceived within our smaller ' I '

Ego's tentacled and vital growth

wants to enclose every way and shrinks to give

Vital Desire; though Nature's out-growth

More you trim it - more branch out

nurture it not or - let it die .

(composed in 1990-s )

MAN - THE BIOLOGIC ROBOT

That is it and we are -all

'Robots' mobile . -dwarf or tall

programmed within like Computer set

with sensors as if , in Receiving Net

move and act on' given ' plane

seem so alive ! - play lively game

designed copies of human form

the set pattern and in living norm

Robots are we and you too are

Powered by HIM in Solar sphere

padded by matter and electron tricks

all Five Elements are but building brick

*Three fine elements are in another way

wired up within for Puppet-play

The ultimate game with His ' Magic Light'

robots do love ; and robots do fight

Robots , robots ! , thou Cosmic Toy

jump and zoom ; may weep or enjoy !

------------------------------------

[Written in 1990s ] * Three elements other than '5th Element' - are Mind, intelligence and Ego ( Vedantic Scripture).

COSMOLOGY IN A NUT-SHELL

If there was no conscious being on this Planet or elsewhere (?) there would be no universe or Cosmos. Or if there was , -there was none to know it. Or even if it was there - who designed it without a Conscious Plan ?

So when there was expanding Consciousness in Human- Life the Sky expanded , Galaxies were appeared , 'Time-space' revealed,' Light-speed' defined., universe enlarged and Universes multiplied.

At the other end, - Atoms broke down , Quantum revealed unto units of plank , proton transcended unto quark. These 'breeding like rats' went on at either ends and with 'String' at quantum level and 'Endless Universes' , at the other Hyper-Macroscopic level. The GAME goes on and on ! .But without CONSCIOUSNESS , what is there to know or how to report it or record.

And now, please tell me - what is Matter or Life without this reporting/ recording Consciousness in intelligent expanding Field or form.. And also tell me , please - Is Consciousness any member of the Siblings of E==MC.square family breed ?

And who planned this Magic 'String" or the Mega - Universes without some Intelligent Planning of " Mystic' CONSCIOUS Cause ?

Let us Measure this immutable COLLECTIVE -CONSCIOUSNESS from another Non- Material side .

COSMIC SONG

When Atoms started to disintegrate to protons neutrons or

Quarks and until that vibrating 'string' that nobody can see

what remained of matter on material field

other than ' vibration' on an Ocean of Eternity !

Like a cotton Quilt , stripped and torn

and allowed to float on tornado storm

and tiniest cotton-bits that spin and float

until they are gathered and turned to another quilt ..

And this Cosmos though endless ever

is bound less though in spherical form

built and designed by some Conscious Plan

and nobody knows 'Who' ? - let us name IT ...- God

that can invent energies in Dimension-form

and freeze some to matter or to what not !

Causes lead to effects and 'effects become 'cause'

except the First Cause , preceded by none.
