____________________________________________
 Meditate on 'OM'
 Those who know the SELF  and those who know not , do the  same thing  but with different understanding.


Wisdom of Shaandilya : - Manifestation and  dissolution.


Universes(COSMOS) come from Brahman and return to Brahman.
 A person is  what his deep Desire  is .
" Anaroroneeyan -mohoto moheeyan  (sanskrit)"
[smaller than an atom and bigger than the Cosmos]

Srory of Swetaketu :
      Bee  collecting honey from flower.........;
      Brahman & Cosmos  like salt in water .
      Shwetaketu was Uddalaka's son. He studied all Vedas  for 
      12 years and returned home , -proud and  egoistic.


     " But did  you ask your teacher for spiritual wisdom that enable one to hear the UN-heard or think the UN-thought  or know the UN-known ?"    -the father asked .
"What is that  father " -asked Shwetaketu.
"In the beginning was the being , -the one without second and  there is nothing , yet that has not come fromTHAT( throughManifestation).
In dream-less sleep one is with the SELF, though he knows not .
As the bee sucks  honey from from different flower,yet that honey is the same at every point, -so that no drop-let can say  -'i am from that flower'.--All  created ones can ever claim their different source as there is none that does not come from Brahman....... Of everything, THAT  is the  in-most SELF.(cf - my poem dt 19/05/09 ,-before I read this part of Upanishat)
* Death is  like the house  deserted- when the Dweller is gone.
 When death comes and self departs from the body, the body dies but Self does not.
