What is Bhuma? What is this Fullness?

Namaste Satyakama's,

 

I thought to share this most uplifting response from sage to sisya.

The great bakti sumedha Narada asks his teacher/guru:

Please introduce me to this great mystery of Being that you call

Bhuma. What is Bhuma? What is this Fullness?

 

"Do you want to know what Completeness is? And do you want to know

what finitude is? Here is the definition," says Sanatkumara [ the

the seer of the vidya] . "Where one sees nothing except one's own

Self, where one hears nothing except one's own Self, where one

understands nothing except one's own Self, that is Bhuma, the

Absolute; and where one sees something outside oneself, where one

hears something outside oneself, where one understands or thinks

something outside oneself, that is the finite."

 

"O my dear Narada, your question itself is unfounded and

unwarranted. Why do you ask where It is, as if It is in space? But

if you want me to tell you where It is, I say It is in space, It is

in every nook and corner, in every pinpoint of space. There is no

space where It is not; there is no space which It does not occupy."

Risi SANATKUMARA, Chhandogya Upanishad 3.24

 

 

Satyanna pramaditavyam

Dharmanna pramaditavyam

Kusalanna pramaditavyam

Never swerve away from Truth

never swerve away from duty

never neglect your welfare; swerve

not from any act for the protection of yourself

 

Taittiriya Uanishad 1.11.1
