Truth is Truth No Matter Who States It ..

Namaste purushothama,

Thank you for your note.  Yes I can see your point, and after

thinking about it I should have considered saying this another way.

I was hopijng to discuss the following:

Ekam Sad Viprah Bahudha Vadanti - Truth is ONE; Sages call it

variously - risi Durgatamas.

You point it out perfectly;  as one that knows Truth can articulate

it.

 

Idam brahma, idam kshatram, ime lokah, ime devah, imani bhutani,

idam sarvam yad ayam atma.

"This Source of knowledge; this source of power; all these worlds;

all these gods; all these beings; -- All this is just the Self."

SAGE YAJNAVALKYA , BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD

 

Pranams,

yajvan

contemplate. What else one has to do than to remove that 'you' (or

the 'i') to 'KNOW' that the world is not different from the  SELF

but only the manifestation of the SELF.
