STUDY GROUP on THE QUINTESSENCE OF THE TEACHING Upadesa Saram (v:12 of the THIRTY VERSES

[Guest guest]

Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya

 

Mind and breath [as thought and action]

Fork out like two branches.

But both spring

>From a single root.

 

K.Swaminathan

 

 

Minds and breaths accompanied by consciosness and action are the two-pronged

branches , rooted in

force .

 

Comment...the root is Sakti of the Lord,His Force....both of them are capable of

becoming paths to

attain the great Sakti.

 

Ganapati Muni

 

 

For mind and life expressed in thought and act ,

That is with thought and action as their function,

Diverge and branch like two boughs of a tree,

But both of them spring from one single stem.

 

Chadwick

 

 

For Thought and Breath ,

as with Knowledge and Act,

are twin branches

of a single stem , the Root .

And the Yoga of tranquil breath

thus safely leads

to still,self-gathered thought-

the delectable path

to passion-torn minds .

 

Comment.....Shelley ,with a poet's intuition sung in Prometheus unbound ,of-

 

'Love,Thought and Breath,

the powers that quell Death.'

 

M.Anantanarayanan [indian Civil Sevice] 1955

 

 

The mind and the prana are endowed with the ability to know and to

act,respectively.These two are

like the two branches stemming from one power [maya]

 

Swami Dayananda [1987]

 

 

Thought and breath have their origin in Consciousness .
