Vedas 49 - Kathopanishad - Part 6 A - The Tree Of Life Comments

i was drawn to this poem, geeta, by the title's reference to the tree of life. it interests me how this idea appears in the upanishads (which i didn't know until this your reference to it) as well as in the bible, and there's the tree yggdrasil in norse mythology. i guess it's no surprise that a tree should be symbolic of life considering how long it could live, the life it supports, the all the life it births through its seeds. -glen

In Vedas- 49- Kathopanishad - part 6A you have presented incisively about A holy tree Asvastha and Brahman. It may be cited here..... The holy tree Asvatha is The origin, The representation, The manifestation of The Supreme Brahman! Brahman is tranquil, sublime and pure, Unchanging, unaffected and untainted. Thank you dear madam for sharing this valuable poem.

I have just read your earlier poem of this series 'Vedas 46' which somehow escaped my attention.

Asvatha- the tree of life- and Brahman have much in common which the poem has nicely put across. Many attributes of Asvatha may also be there in Brahman. Towards the end, the essence of the Vedic philosophy has also been presented in all its beauty. Thanks, Geeta ji. The entire creation has evolved from Brahman, The entire creation will dissolve in Brahman. Brahman alone is immortal, eternal and infinite.
