Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Om Namah Sivaya The Chhandogya Upanishad SANATKUMARA'S INSTRUCTIONS ON BHUMA-VIDYA Section 16 Truth Esa tu va ativadati yah satyenativadati; so'ham, bhagavah, satyenativadaniti, satyam tv-eva vijijnasitavyam iti, satyam, bhagavah, vijijnasa iti. Transcendent speech is an expression of transcendent knowledge. And transcendent knowledge is that knowledge which is identical with transcendent truth. This is the peak of experience, the peak of wisdom. Our speech should be based on the reality of Being. Only then it manifests itself as reality. Truth and knowledge are identical. Our speech becomes true, because our speech is based on the knowledge of the true. This is what Sanatkumara means when he says - esha tu va ativadati yah satyenativadati. "Well, my master, then I wish I would be like that - so'ham bhagavah satyenati vadan-iti," says Narada. "Please initiate me into this mystery of acquiring that knowledge which is tuned up to Reality, which is one with Being. Is it possible for me to have this knowledge?Satyam tv-eva vijijnasitavyam - my dear Narada," says Sanatkumara. "You want a knowledge which is tuned up with reality, but you must know what reality or truth is. Unless you know what truth is, how can you try to identify your knowledge with truth, or truth with knowledge? You must have a clear conception of what I mean by 'truth'. Only then can you have an aspiration for identifying your knowledge with truth, knowing truth and speaking truth.Then Master, I would like to know what truth is - satyam, bhagavah vijijnasa iti. Please tell me what is truth." ----Sri Swami Krishnananda Sivaya Namah Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.
