BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD NOUN

BrihadArUpa1

10 This (self) was indeed Brahman in the beginning. It knew only Itself as, I am Brahman Therefore It became all. And whoever among the Devas knew It also became That; and the same with sages and men. The sage Vamadeva, while realising this (self) as That, knew, I was Manu, and the Sun And to this day whoever in like manner knows It as, I am Brahman becomes all this (universe). Even the Devas cannot prevail against him, for he becomes their self. While he who worships another Deva thinking, He is one, and I am another does not know. He is like an animal to the Devas. As many animals serve a man, so does each man serve the Devas. Even if one animal is taken away, it causes anguish, what should one say of many animals Therefore it is not liked by them that men should know this.
