Mysorean

I was under the impression that, having missed the previous Sunday’s discourse, I would have to skip slokas. But surprisingly, the Swamiji started with a recap of the 14th and 15th sloka from where we had ended the lecture on 7th August. That was good! Since we have already touched upon the 14th sloka in our previous post, we can now move to the 15th sloka. This is the 15th sloka from the 4th section of the 4th chapter of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.

Sloka 15:

When the realization that the Supreme – The Creator of the Past, Present and Future and we are one and the same, we move beyond the boundaries of time. And with that brings a vision of oneness. We see ourselves as infinity. The infinite nature of the Supreme is what we begin to feel. We feel oneness with everything. We see God in everybody through our Soul.

We are all individual minds with an infinite soul. There is no individual soul. We get different ideas of self because of different minds that we have. But, we have an infinite soul. We are all hiding from the fact that the infinite God exists. We are living in ignorance. The enlightened man realizes this and sees oneness everywhere. He realizes the infinite nature of Soul.
