The Great Sentence

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

"Chandogya Upanishad is one of the major Upanishads. The great sentence –

'Tattvamasi' (thou art that) is found in the sixth chapter of this Upanishad.

This sentence is like a crowning jewel of Vedanta Shastra.

 

This great sentence has made the Upanishad one of the most important Upanishads.

The opening verse of this Upanishad is – 'Sadeva somyedamagra aseet –

Ekamevaadviteeyam'. It means 'before this world (came into being), there was

only 'Sat'. It is only one. It is without a second'. After this sentence, many

other Vedantic aspects have been dealt with in this Upanishad. The concluding

sentence is, 'Eikadaatmyamidam sarvam – tat satyam – sa atmaa – tattvamasi

shwetaketo'. The meaning of this sentence is, 'the manifest universe is infact

the primordial Sat itself. That Sat is Real. That itself is Atma. O!Shwetaketu,

You are that Sat.'"
