Message Of The Upanishad To Mankind Poem by Ramesh Joshi

Message of the Upanishad to Mankind.

Kenopanishad says: 'Who is the director of the mind? Who impels the mind to alight on its object? Brahman.

At whose command does the Prana proceed to function? The command of Brahman or the Absolute.

At whose command do men utter speech? The command of Brahman.

What intelligence directs the eyes and the ears towards their respective objects? The Intelligence of Brahman.

Behind the Prana and the senses there is Brahman or the supreme Self. He who knows this attains immortality.

Ignorant people identify themselves with the body, mind, Prana and senses on account of nescience or Avidya.

They mistake these false, perishable limiting adjuncts or vehicles for the pure immortal Atman, and so they are caught in the round of births and deaths.'
