Chandyogya  Upanishat:( page 3 0f 3)


The deva-s  and asura-s  wanted to know the Truth about SOUL.
Indra  amongst Deva-s and Virochan from Assures (god-less) approached  Prajapati. They had to wait for 30 years  and then  ask:
: ' What is it that we see  reflected in water or in mirror ?
:you see your - Self. .....
     Now put put on your best clothes and things and look into and then  report ' -said Prajapoti.
 They obeyed , dressed up , looked into ,became over-joyed  that they reported their feeling '
: You have again  seen your  -self ' replied Projapoti.


Virochan  went home satisfied   and started dressing up himself with physical -mental pleasure.
But Indra  was not happy  with  what Gurus  short-cut  sermons that   self has anything to do with physical or mental state(When blind , the self remains blind; when lame the self is also lame !)
Indra  urged to know more.
  Prajapoti was very pleased  by Indra's State  of Mind ,retained him and taught him for another 96 years.


   Those who  know that they are not physical body,  transcend beyond  physical pleasure and pain.
   SELF is not  'Body' but  tied to it for life-time , like   an  Ox  tied to a Cart.
 ( concluded)
