“I-you” “mine-his” separations are (imaginarily) perceived. In that blindness, the Oneness is missed. If anyone feels that s/he sees more than one thing, it is all a delusion.īeing under delusion is like being a Dhritarashtra, blind. brahman is the word used as a pointer to It.Īnd of all the philosophical thoughts ever expressed anywhere in the world, only Advaita Vedanta boldly declares, That brahman Alone is, there is NO second thing. It’s something deep sleep-like and space-like. TaittIriyopanishad gives two more of its features in the mantra (II-i-1) - सत्यं ज्ञानमनन्तं ब्रह्म (Beingness, Knowingness, and Infiniteness).

It does not matter who you are – a prince or a pauper an angel or a devil an illiterate ignoramus or an intellectual giant – all differences and separations dissolve in deep sleep. The nearest comparison that can be given is the dreamless deep sleep condition. What would remain when an “I” in me is not conscious of my separate body-mind but is fused with the totality of “Whatever-actually-IS”? There cannot be an answer for this question.

Meaning: The distinction “This person is mine, and this one is not” is made only by the narrow-minded (i.e. The words वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् (vasudhaiva kuTumbakam) come from the mantra VI-72 in Maha Upanishad which belongs to sAmaveda tradition.
