ब्रह्मविद् ब्रह्मैव भवति
Brahmavid Brahmaiva Bhavati
- the knower of Brahman is Brahman itself
This brahma sutra is from Mundaka Upanishad, an ancient Sanskrit Vedic text. The knower of the Brahman becomes the Brahman. Here knowing and being are one and the same. You not only know that you are infinite consciousness but you become the infinite consciousness. To know the truth is to be the truth itself.
Moksha or liberation is recommended as the highest goal of human life. According to the Upanishad, the highest aim to be expected for a human being is union with the Brahman. He who has recognized the oneness of Atma with Brahman will obtain union with the Brahman, The Supreme Being. The merging of the independent soul with the universal soul. Being one with the whole. River joining the sea and becoming the sea in the process.
Unless you get to know your self you will not be able to know the whole of it. We are part of the whole and we are apart now and the whole process in our life is to how to merge with the whole. Unless you question your being, you will not take this path to know the true aspect of life and living. Becoming spiritual and undertake the spiritual journey to know the ultimate is purely a personal journey. There is no school, college, or university for that. You can get or gather information about it from everywhere and store it within yourself but it is not your personal experience. Spirituality is a personal experience and a journey to be undertaken by each and every individual on his own will and wish and with the right and clear intention.
Spirituality is a journey wherein you dissolve all your acquired thoughts in your mind and silence the mind. Unless you dilute all the thought process in your mind, you will not be able to undertake this journey. Meditation is a process to calm the mind of its ever weaving thought processes. To know the ultimate truth you have to discard all the acquired ones throughout your life up until now. Unless you empty out your mind, the possibility is remote. Only when you empty out your self completely you will be able to receive the revelations from the ultimate.
Spirituality is a path to know our true being. It is path of introspection, to examine ones own conscious thoughts and feelings. It is a process to understand our true self of what we are made up of and what our true nature is. Since we are product of nature, we have to be natural not otherwise. It is a path to realize and understand our true nature and be so rest of the life. To understand nature, you have to become natural again by regaining your true nature and aligning with it. First you understand who you are and then you will have capacity to understand the whole concept of life and living over a time period.
