BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD NOUN

BrihadArUpa4 6 Let me hear whatever any one may have told you Satyakama, the son of Jabala, has told me that the Manas (here, the moon) is Brahman As one who has a mother, a father and a teacher should say, so has the son of Jabala said this that the Manas is Brahman. For what can a person have without the Manas But did he tell you about its abode (body) and support No, he did not This Brahman is only one footed, O Emperor Then you tell us, Yajnavalkya The Manas is its abode, and the ether (the Undifferentiated) its support. It should be meditated upon as bliss What is bliss, Yajnavalkya The manas itself, O Emperor said Yajnavalkya; with the Manas, O Emperor, a man (fancies and) woos a Woman. A son resembling him is born of her, and he is the cause of bliss. The Manas, O Emperor, is the Supreme Brahman. The Manas never leaves him who, knowing thus, meditates upon it; all beings eagerly come to him; and being a Deva, he attains the Devas I give you a thousand cows with a bull like an elephant said Emperor Janaka. Yajnavalkya replied, My father was of opinion that one should not accept (wealth) from a disciple without fully instructing him
BrihadArUpa6 11 Janaki, the son of Ayasthuna, again taught this to Satyakama, the son of Jabala, and said, Should one sprinkle it even on a dry stump, branches would grow and leaves sprout
BrihadArUpa6 12 And Satyakama, the son of Jabala, in his turn, taught this to his pupils and said, Should one sprinkle it even on a dry stump, branches would grow and leaves sprout One must not teach this to anyone but a son or a pupil.
