- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad is one of the principal Upanishads. It is part of the Shatpath Brahmana of the Shukla or the White Yajur Veda. It is generally regarded as the oldest, as the most elaborate and as the most important of all the Upanishads. Its name literally means 'great forest of knowledge'.Its central theme is the Great, the Infinite, the Imperishable Braham identified with the Self, with the Atman.
Penguin edition published in 1966 - Translated by Juan Mascaro.

Dear light in the world. I cannot express how much Your readings of these teachings mean to me, how they have nourished my heart and soul. Your readings are so precious to me. They convey wisdom and love to my thirsty spirit. Bless you a thousand times. 🙏🕊🙏
It's my day off at work. I am at a local park enjoying a little sunshine on a winter day. I lay on the green grass looking at the vast pale blue sky while listening to the timeless wisdom that the Upanishads hold. I do not know what bliss feels like, but I sure am more than happy right now! Thank you Samaneri:)
Sounds like bliss to me! Bliss is one of those words that are misunderstood and misconceived - like God and Love. And perhaps it is a poor English translation of the original. True, lasting bliss is not limited to ecstasy or some Divine orgasmic experience - those things are nice but they are part of the conditioned realm and come and go. Bliss is your true Nature and does not come and go but only appears to when ignorance veils it. Bliss is cool, calm, steady, equanimous, abiding deep peace, joy and love. It is manifest with the realisation of true emptiness, in the relinquishing of all desires, in the freedom from the delusion of 'me' and 'other'. It is purity incarnate, without an active, grasping, identifying mind. The next time you meet a new born baby - look deeply into its eyes - there you will see bliss and a reflection of yourself in its mirror.
@@SamaneriJayasara thank you for clarifying that Samaneri! Bliss it is!:)
The only caveat, of course, is not to claim or cling to this. For the moment we start to over think or grasp on to it as 'my bliss', it is no longer true Bliss, but just another egocentric mind trip. How to be empty without being anything or anyone? Simply see the mind's subtle deceptions and clingings. In seeing this it automatically drops away, and our true, innocent, pure, uncontrived Nature has a chance to shine through.
@@SamaneriJayasara🙏 i see it 'as it is" simply and natural. Let it come, and let it go whenn it leaves, its never lost.. Knowing mind is ignorant, all mental adds will obscure it, Bliss is Self alone.
I will say emptiness, plenitude, j😊Y
@@SamaneriJayasaraLike the Budha of end of times.. This your sweet but profound "voice" (Dharma of bliss) is guidin thousends to the REAL
I will thank this to no-body 😂 but to the all pervading Spirit that is One in all Budhas, Yakshas, Devas and so✨on
This upanishad taught me to Dissolve and not Solve. 🙏💖
Superb teaching. Feel no perfumes. A doorway to thinking beyond physicality and dualisms
🙏🌻thank you 🌻🙏
Much gratitude thank you thank you thank you , om 🕉 shanti shanti shanti 🕉 🙏
Since after noon I am hearing last 10 minutes of your preaching.l am touched by divinity.🙏🙏🙏
Wow!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is the joy supreme this is the joy of the spirit oh king. So poignant, that the sage gives the answer to Janaka at the end of each statement. And before the next inquiry. The generosity of God to give before we have asked and the placing of the end before the beginning as a symbol of the utter freedom of the joy supreme. I find this teaching to be deeply moving and utterly profound. I wouldn’t know it but for your actions. Thank you.
I think the truest of words is, "He who speaks does not know". I view it as one person's opinion that we are not here for the purpose of creating. We can see that many different opinions have been spoken by many different people who have found the source of nature. By abandoning all thoughts of the world we find the source of nature but in returning to the world that appears from this source we are again inevitability bound by it's limitations in understanding what we have found. The Spirit does not speak or appear to be anywhere. Any thing we see, hear..., is what appears from what can't be sensed and is necessarily distorted. Brahman as the word that symbolizes this foundation can not be known not even by God or Shiva but can only be known of because it is without form but is from where form emerges. It may be we need not desire that which we have or are but it may also be that our purpose in this place made entirely of imagination is for us to continue to imagine the Creation of the world we choose to experience. I don't believe Creation was an accident and something that we should avoid participating in because it somehow attaches us to darkness. Atman is the light of the world, the beginning and the end, the cause and effect of all that appears to be, the witness of it's own Creation. I don't see any reason to stop creating when we become aware that we are the creator of what we experience. I see wisdom as knowledge used in understanding the foundation of knowledge not in denying it's usefulness. These are just my opinions of course. 🙏
Wonderful reflections - thanks for sharing. 😎
So uplifting and invaluable the way you introduce the wisdom of the Upanishads to people
Thanks mam.really enlightening.🙏🙏

Thank you very much Samaneri Jayasara for awakening my soul!
How beautiful. It got me deep into my heartspace. Now my day can start. Thank you. Pranams 🙏🕉️
Thank you, Ma’am!!!🙏
Such beautiful gifts you give by giving voice to sacred words. Thank you.
Such delightful comments. I enjoyed the channel for so long before I discovered I could support it by becoming a patron. Considering how much I use the recordings, it was the least I could do. I recommend it as it helps Samaneri to keep going. Namaste 🙏
Thank you for showing the path back home. Such a blessing you are gifting us all by offering the light of timeless wisdom. Thank you!
✨🙏✨
Dear Samaneri Jayasara, I wish I had words to express my gratitude. Your sharing of these jewels has been the most important thing at this moment of my life. May all beings benefit from the love and light of these teachings.
Is there anything in all the worlds as magnificent as the Upanishad discourses? Only the dialogues of Socrates, as recorded by Plato, perhaps: "know thyself". Unsurpassable wisdom, 🌈 🌄 🌌.
Indeed they are Prema - precious and sacred. Hope you are keeping well and happy 🧡
@@SamaneriJayasara Thank you Ayya, 💜
To be honest "know yourself" by Balyani was slightly closer to me
@@paveldytrych4442 Thanks Pavel. I had not been aware of this mystic. The book, which I googled after reading your comment, sounds wonderful. Perhaps our kind & obliging Samaneri Jayasara will read from it! 💜 🙏 🌌
@@premaroberts1546 Brilliant, guess what... she's already done it in a great way...👌, it leads me to these gems here actually and I'm very happy & thankful for that ❤️

Starting reading commentaries on some of the Upanishads recently. The philosophy they present is astounding, awe inspiring and also slightly unsettling. I’m trying to make sense of it. So glad I found this post. I bow down to to the Divine in all of you and hope we all find liberation from the great illusion. 🙏🏼

This is one of the most beautiful jewels I've ever listened to in my life. I don't know how many times I've already listened to it. Every time there's something different, more precious. Thank you, Jayasara, again!
😇

So very Beautiful, in every respect, impeccably delivered. Thank you, dear Samaneri for these...Much Love.
Everything has been sayed. ❤❤
Here I am again, after a year, listening to this most profound teaching, as old as
the universe or, should I say ageless, eternal, supreme ????? Every time I need comfort, every time I need to reconnect, I listen to this. And this purifies my soul. Thank you!!!!!!!
Very special and sacred readings. Tonic for the soul.
pure nectar!
Thank you
Absolutely Profound Wisdom. .. 💕💖💕
A journey in itself. !!!
Beautiful, thank you.
You are the lighter

Each light shines bright
and each candle
makes the next one
shine brighter

Make sure to keep a cup of water nearby.... Christmas trees are very flammable. 😇
....wait a minute.... Christmas?... Klaus?...
Hmmm....
Absolutely love this one. Will definitely come back to. Thank you🙏🏻✨✨✨✨
Wonderfull, may this widom resonate in the hearts of men. May all beings flourish in the beatitude of Brahman. May we realize this peace that dwells in all the corners of creation. May hear the silent knowledge of the trees, the blossoming of the flowers, the love of our mothers, the strength of the just, and the liberated heart of the seers. May we flow into that ocean of love that is our Self
The words used in that teaching are not so close to me(eg spirit etc) but I understand perfectly...😯👌
(I remember once I've read the Gita many years ago and it didn't make too much sense to me at that time..).
Thank you very much ❤️
🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨🖐️

The great paradox of spirituality eating yet not eating unmoving in all movement the unchanging in all changefullness formless in form empty but full neither within nor without nothing and everything be in the place in between all paradoxes, om 🕉 shanti shanti shanti 🕉 🙏
I love the variety of nondual teachings on your channel - I've discovered so much that I wouldn't have otherwise. I've dipped into nondual tantra recently. I don't suppose that's an tradition from which you would consider making similar audio recordings? 🙏
Hi Matt, have you heard this recording? It is a non-dual tantric teaching from the Kashmir Shaivism tradition:
ruclips.net/video/CAdLoI7EaFA/видео.html&ab_channel=SamaneriJayasara
@@SamaneriJayasara Thank you! I must have overlooked that.
@@SamaneriJayasara thank you for this link. I've heard Rupert Spira and his wife Ellen both speak of this path. I look forward to listening
Can I make a suggestion without criticism. Is there any way you can turn down your microphone so that you 'sss' sounds are less sharp and loud? ❤
Sure, sorry about that Kim. Something was a bit tetchy on this recording. I perhaps should have redone it.
@@SamaneriJayasara Thank you! You have a beautiful, soothing voice that conveys your message very deeply and listening helps me go into a meditative contemplative state. (I wish everyone spoke and read as you do! 😆) The 's' sound coming through the headphones is quite sharp. The rest is beautiful. Thank you so much for all your videos. 🙏🥰
the sss sound is the sound that wakes you from your dream
@@HannoverDaz FYI, I have discovered that certain earphones mute the ssss sound more. I have one pair that enhance it (and can see your point) and another that mute it and it sounds fine. So not sure if you have another pair you can experiment with?
Haha. Yes @Arunachala Shiva. It's saying "SSSSSWAKE UP! SSSSSSSSSWAKE UP!"
LOL. JK. We are so spoiled, having all this high quality audio to listen to!
I have listened to several older recordings of Papaji satsangs and the sound is painfully bad with lots of high pitch feedback squealing. It took some real discipline to ignore it and hear the message and energy. Hahaha now we have amazing microphones and headphones to listen to this overabundance of deep spiritual teaching.
Yes. Also, the little things that annoy me end up being the fertilizer for my spiritual flowers to sprout.
When everything is how I want it, I do not grow.
