Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Continuing with the talk by Vivekananda.. The theme of the Vedanta is to see the Lord in everything, to see things in their real nature, not as they appear to be. Then another lesson is taught in the Upanishads: "He who shines through the eyes is Brahman; He is the Beautiful One, He is the Shining One. He shines in all these worlds." A certain peculiar light, a commentator says, which comes to the pure man, is what is meant by the light in the eyes, and it is said that when a man is pure such a light will shine in his eyes, and that light belongs really to the Soul within, which is everywhere. It is the same light which shines in the planets, in the stars, and suns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Svetasvatara UpanishadII.15..) Here the Upanishad is explaining how a yogi goes beyond pleasure and pain. A Yogi sees himself as bright as a lamp, and he also clearly sees that he is one with Brahman. As a result, he goes beyond birth and death, beyond all modifications. He is then impervious to all enticements. having known that self-luminous Self, he becomes free from all bonds that ignorance imposes. -- Sundar Rajan advaitin, "Madhava K.
