muntakam means clean shavened head. this
upanishad is for the people who have sacrificed
the worldly life and searching for the eternal
wisdom. hence this name.
this symbolises determination. this is in atharvana
vetha(fourth).
ohm......the brahma who has created this world
and saving us is the first. he teaches this to his son satharvar. ...........1.1
atharvar teaches this to angirar angirar
teaches this to sathyavahar.
sathyavahar teaches this to angirashar(teacher
of english the derivative of sanskrit.)...1.2
once sownahar(who is living a comfortable
worldly life) asks angirashar:
by knowing which we can come to knowall. ............1.3.
angirashar replies: there are two knowledges.
one is abara which gives us worldly knowledge.
another is bara the knowledge which teaches
us the origin of all these knowledges,the supreme,
the knowledge of creating these sounds itself. ...... 1.4&5
(after all any one can get the knowledge of the world by
memorising all these words, but they dont know the real
knowledge of the brahmam(the super soul or the god)
that brahmam is not visible,cannot be hold,has no birth,
no sect,no eyes,no ears, no hands, no legs, omnipotent,
omnipresent, lives in everything,perpetuate, visible
only to those knowledged who research themselves
inside. ...........1.6
like the spider which produce the net by its own
secretion and then demolish it by itself and like
the plants which comes from the seeds themselves
and like the hair grow in bodies this world is coming
from that brahmam......1.7
by wisdom brahmam grows. from that all foods come.
from that the bodycomes. from that the mind,
the senses, and the world (which has the illusioned
appearance of permanent) come. from that the
desire and the actions and the results come....1.8
as brahmam is the reason for all these developments
and as it is in everything,as all energy comes out
from that brahmam these physical bodies of all lives,
all varieties of names, all worldly things
appears.. ............1.9
para 2
that truth (the brahmam, the super soul or the god)
is described in vedhas in various forms with so many
differences and anamolies according to the
knowledge level or the individual taste of
those gnanis(hermits). search that real truth.
follow it. that is the only way to know it. ............2.1
the rituals with fire
aredescribed. ......2.2to2.6
but all these rituals are very low as they have
done for materialistic benefits. even though
they are elaborative they are lower. their results
are not permanent. one who is doing these rituals
will again and again come to this world and
bonded. ............2.7
these people who are doing these rituals think
that they are highly knowledged,
powerful and suffer in this world like the blind
who are guided by another blind.
.........2.8
as they are immersed very much in ignorance
they imagined that they are highly knowledged.
due to deep desires for the worldly pleasures
they cannot come out of those
cledges. ............2.9
(eventhough the eagle flies in the sky very
high it's eyes are always in the dead animals in the earth.)
as they are immersed in desires, actions, their
results, they cannot come to know that there
is another thing higher than all these things. 2.10
but one who controls his senses, attained peace,
fully knowledged earns for his minimum existence,
doing penance, purifies his mind removing all desires,
will reach the brahma gnana( supreme knowledge.).....2.11
as the god cannot be reached by actions one must
leave all the worldly actions and surrender his
teacher totally. as the student has reached
the teacher properly with peace in mind, leaving
all the desires, actions behind, the teacher will
teach the real knowledge about the real god,
the real brahmam, the real
truth. ..........2.12&13
second chapter/first para.
this is the truth. like sparks from a single fire
the entire world is coming out from a single
brahmam. ..........1.1
he is bright, no physical body, permanent in and out,
giving no births, no life, no mind, pure, above all
sounds and its derivatives. .........1.2
life is coming from him. the mind, the senses,
the sky, the air, the fire, the water and all the
world are coming out from him. ........1.3
fire is his head, moon and sun are his eyes, directions
are his ears, holy books are his tongues, air is
his breath, world is his mind, earth comes out from
his legs. he is the soul of all the worldly things ......1.4
(as all languages are created only by man all prayers
of all sounds cannot help to reach god.
silence is the language of god.)
from him the fire(the root of sun)comes. from
fire the moon comes. from moon the rain (water)
comes. from water the plants, trees come. from
them the food comes. from food the energy for
the man comes. from the energy life comes.
so everything come from brahmam. .....1.5
all vedhas, all teachings, all developments,
all wealths, all time measurements, the world
sanctified by sun and moon come. ............1.6
from him all races, human beings, animals, birds,
life force, all seeds, penances, devotedness, truth,
virginity, rules come. ...........1.7
seven life forces, seven fires, seven major fuels,
seven rituals, seven worlds, all seas, all mountains,
all rivers, all plantains, all basic life force of living
beings come from him. ......1.8&9
one who understand this and do the penance with
the feeling that penance is his duty, brahmam is the
nector, and the brahmam is inside his heart will reach
the real stage of understanding the brahmamand will be
in bliss
permanantly.............1.10
second chapter second para
the brahmam is inside the heart and controls
the five senses. from him the movements of the
body, the running of the breathing and all are
coming. now come to know the truth and the
nontruth which is liked by all the living beings
and which is not reachable by the experiences
we get from the world and which has no
equivalents. .............2.1
which is permanantly self illuminated,
which is smaller than the atom itself. in
which the the entire world is settled, in which
all lifes are settled that is the brahmam.
that is the life force. that is the speech. that is
the mind. that is the truth. that is the elixir.
aim at that. ......2.2
from the upanishad take the greatest mantra
ohm, and chanting it with purity and devotion
and concentrate on it and tune it with your
whole mind. ........2.3
the branavam is (ohm) the bow. soul is the
arrow. brahmam is the aim. no distraction.
concentrate. .......2.4
to whom which the entire world and the mind
is tied must be known. left all other words.
this is the only way to reach the eternal
stage. ..........2.5
the brahmam (supersoul) is tied with the nadis
(nervous system ) that are connected with the
heart like the spokes connected with the axis
of a wheel. it appears on various forms.
meditate on that brahmam with the mantra ohm
directly . let success be yours in crossing the
darkness of ignorance. .......2.6
eat the mango fruits directly without doing
research about the mango fruit, its leaves, how
many trees are there like that.
..........ramakrishna paramahamsa
if you want to drink water in a pond with a lesser
amount of water you must drink it without steering
the pond and making the water muddy.
..........ramakrishna paramahamsa.
one who can know everything easily, one who can
understand deeply, one who has made this world
easily will come into your heart easily.......2.7
he is in the form of mind, he is conducting the body
and the life, he is in your knowledge, he is in your
body. he is the reason for bliss inside.
knowledged one will understand it by their
experience. ............2.8
when the brahmam has been seen the knot in
your heart will be loosened automatically,
doubts will be cleared themselves, all the sins
will be destroyed automatically. .....2.9
when the knowledge is brightened like gold
pure and omnipotent brahmam will appear. it is
pure and light of all the lights.. one who realises
that is the real realised. ..........2.10
there the sun will not have the brightness. moon
and stars will have no brightness. then how the
agni (fire) will have brightness. as he is self illumined
everything is getting the light only from him. ......2.11
undestructible that brahmam occupies everywhere
east west north and south. ..........2.12
third chapter first para.
there are two birds in a tree. they are
inseparable and equally powered. one is eating
the fruit in that tree and the other is looking at it
without eating the fruit. .........1.1
the bird that ate the fruit lost its control and
is in pain and sorrow. when it see the other bird
realises its fault and recovered from its
sorrow. ...........1.2
one bird is adma(soul)and the other bird is jeev
(life). here jeev eats the fruit and the adma is
looking at it without any attachment.
interesting thing in this small story is the
comparison of adam and eev story. eev eats
the fruit and adam is looking at her without
eating it.
adma is adam and jeev is eev. upanishads are
more than five thousand years old and bible
is two thousa nd years old. even after three
thousand years the base, the root of the story
is not changed much.
while it is piple tree in upanishad it is bible
in other.
when one can see the brahmam from its origin
the god which is having the brightness of gold he
will be away from all the sins and virtues and will
be merging with the god easily. ......1.3
one who realises that the super soul is the
part and parcel of every soul in every living
being will not arque with anybodyelse about
god and his entity as every soul is within him
and his soul is everywhere and he will not arque
that he is bigger than anybodyelse. he is playing
with the adma inside and will be in happy
permanantly.
he who left the worldly desires will see the total
brightness inside. it can be reached by keeping
virginity, profound wisdom and deep penance
and truth. ...........1.5
truth alone triump. it is the truth. the path for
the eternal bliss will only be filled truth by
which the sages (who left all their desires)
are following. ..........1.6
it is big. but it is smaller than the atom itself.
it is bright. it is dark. it is in the distance.
it is nearer. one who realises it will see it
inside the heart itself. .........1.7
(the brahma gnana (knowledge of the super
soul cannot be described by any words of any
language. that is why all these contradictory
words in a single stanza.)
you cannot see that by your eyes, you cannot speak
about that by your mouth, you cannot know it by your
senses. you cannot reach it by your penance and you
cannot reach it by your rituals and duties. one who
attain the clarity in wisdom can only see that brahmam
by his meditation. ............1.8
in which the life force is entered in five ways, in which
the senses, the mind, and all is entangled that soul is
very complicative. it cannot be found out by mind and
the knowledge. it will shine itself. .........1.9
after attaining the higher level one will fulfil all his
desires. he will get all the worldly benefits and all
the worldly pleasures automatically. ........1.1o
the interesting thing in this is that one will have
to control all his desires to merge with the supersoul
and after reaching that stage all his desires will be
fulfilled automatically. in the world we can see
people who have sacrificed all their comforts to
reach a higher level in spiritual world will become
a leader and then all the people follow them and
making them rich and comfort.
this can be explained like this:
all the peoples brain waves are in cama and delta
waves. but when you sleep or hearing a music or
when you are doing some prayers your brain waves
will be in beta freequency. and when you reached
the higher level it will be in alba waves. beta, cama,
delta frequency people will obey alba waves people.
third chapter, second para:
in which the entire world is settled and which is brighter
than the sun itself and pure will be known by the
self realised person. they will be desireless, courageous,
and they will escape from the birth and death cycle.....2.1
one who cannot overcome desires and stands in that
will have the rebirth to fulfill those desires. one who
who has all his desires fulfilled and has no desires
further will not come to this world for rebirth. ....2.2
by knowing all the vedhas or by having the logical
mind or by knowing all the worldly knowledge one
cannot reach the brahmam. when one prays only
the brahmam then he can reach it. the soul will
automatically upgrade him to reach that stage. .....2.3
one who is weak will not reach it. one who is
imagining that he has left all his desires and do
only routine ritituals will not reach it. .....2.4
one who has reached the higher level will be
satisfied with that union and remain in that bliss
permanently. they will be in peace and will renounce
everything. as they have controlled all senses
and as they are courageous they will unite
permanently with the brahmam when they leave
this body. ...........2.5
as they reach the strong mind by the experiences
they reached during the union with the brahmam
they will get purest mind easily. they remain in
bliss permanently. when they leave this world
they easily unite with the god. .....2.6
during death fifteen knowledges reach the origin
of the wisdom. senses reach their respective devathas.
{eyes to agni (fire), ears to vayu (air) like that.}
all actions and their results and the soul reach
the eternal god. ......2.7
like all the rivers lost their individual names and
disappeared in the sea the soul of the gnanis
reach the god. ......2.8
ignorants will not born in the family of that
great soul. he will crosses the worldly
sarrows. all the bindings will be removed and
he will be in nector. ......2.9
this knowledge must be given to one who
has completed all his duties and rituals
and one who is inclined to get the supreme
knowledge and one who is determined to
receive the knowledge. .......2.10
this secret has been taught to sownahar
by angirashar. one who is not following
the rituals must not learn that. pranams
to ancient rishis. ..........2.11
