“asthi brahme:thi che:dve:da santhame:nam thatho:viduh”

 

‘sath’ means one that IS THERE. Upanishad says ‘one who has the

knowledge of the existence of brahmam’ IS THERE. If ‘a:thma’ is not

there in the body then the body loses its entity. Bhagavan is the a:thma

for all the athma:s and for all the inanimate beings and He bears them

all as His Divine Body. Only when He is present in onething, that can be

said to be 'present'. Thus a rishi visualizes Bhagavan in everything. He

is the ‘sanmanushya’. He would not have rajas in his manas. Neither

thamas will be there in his mind. The mud in the water is like the

‘thamas’. When that is there, we can not see what lies therein. When

there is thamo:guna in the manas one would be gripped by lust. The

thamo:guna in the manas, like the waves that rise in the water, quakes

the manas. A manas devoid of rajas would not have any diversions and

would be attractive like - the river water which is calm and still is

pleasant to look at. It would not have any fascination or hatred. One

would love all and be loved by all.
