Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 The next story belongs to Upakosala Kamalayana, a disciple of this Satyakama, who went to be taught by him and dwelt with him for some time. Now Satyakama went away on a journey, and the student became very downhearted; and when the teachers wife came and asked him why he was not eating, the boy said, " I am too unhappy to eat. " Then a voice came from the fire he was worshipping, saying " This life is Brahman, Brahman is the ether, and Brahman is happiness. Know Brahman " " I know, sir, " the boy replied, " that life is Brahman, but that It is ether and happiness I do not know. " Then it explained that the two words ether and happiness signified one thing in reality, viz. the sentient ether (pure intelligence) that resides in the heart. So, it taught him Brahman as life and as the ether in the heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
