BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD NOUN

BrihadArUpa3

1 Then Kahola, the son of Kusitaka, asked him, Yajnavalkya said he, explain to me the Brahman that is immediate and direct the self that is within all This is your self that is within all Which is within all, Yajnavalkya That which transcends hunger and thirst, grief, delusion, decay and death. Knowing this very Self the Brahmanas renounce the desire for sons, for wealth and for the worlds, and lead a mendicant s life. That which is the desire for sons is the desire for wealth, and that which is the desire for wealth is the desire for worlds, for both these are but desires. Therefore the knower of Brahman, having known all about scholarship, should try to live upon that strength which comes of knowledge; having known all about this strength and scholarship, he becomes meditative; having known all about both meditativeness and its opposite, he becomes a knower of Brahman. How does that knower of b behave Howsoever he may behave, he is just such. Except this, everything is perishable. Thereupon Kahola, the son of Kusitaka, kept silent.
