Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma! THE PERSON IN THE EYE CHHANDOGYA UPANISHAD. Part I, Chapter VII OM. "Speech is the Rik and the prana is the Saman. This Saman (prana) rests on that Rik (speech). Therfore the Saman is sung, resting on the Rik. 'Sa' is speech, 'ama' is the prana; thus they (speech and prana ) are designated as Sama." The eye is the Rik and the atman is the Saman. This Atman (Saman) rests on that Rik (the eye). Therefore the Saman is sung, resting on the Rik. 'Sa' is the eye, 'ama' the atman; thus they (the eye and the atman) as designated as Sama. Now, the white radiance of the eye is the Rik and its blue intense darkness is the Saman. This Saman (darkness) rests on that Rik (radiance). Therefore the Saman is sung, resting on the Rik. Sa is the white radiance of the eye, ama its blue intense darkness thus they (the radiance and the darkness) are designated as Sama. Now the person who is seen in the eye is the Rik, he is the Saman he is the Uktha, he is the Yajur, he is Brahman. The form of this person in the eye is the same as the form of that person [in the sun]. The joints of this person (in the eye) is the same as that person (in the sun); the name of this one (UT) is the same as the name of that one. Satchitananda Kathy Uktha is a set of hymns to be recited, in contrast with the Samans, which are to be sung. Through the person in the sun one obtains the world beyond It (the sun)if he knows the Udgitha. He who sings the Saman is able to fulfil wishes through his singing of it. OM. The New Search - Faster.
