BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD NOUN

BrihadArUpa1 5 These are the three Vedas. The organ of speech is the Rig Veda, the mind is the Yajur Veda and the vital force the Sama Veda.
BrihadArUpa2 10 As from a fire kindled with wet faggot diverse kinds of smoke issue, even so, my dear, the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, Atharvangirasa, history, mythology, arts, Upanishads, pithy verses, aphorisms, elucidations and explanations are (like) the breath of this infinite Reality. They are like the breath of this (Supreme Self).
BrihadArUpa2 16 This is that meditation on things mutually helpful which Dadhyac, versed in the Atharva Veda, taught the Asvins. Perceiving this the Rishi Mantra() said, O Asvins in human form, that terrible deed called Damsa which you committed out of greed, I will disclose as a cloud does rain (how you learnt) the meditation on things mutually helpful that Dadhyac, versed in the Atharva Veda, taught you through a Horse s head.
BrihadArUpa2 17 This is that meditation on things mutually helpful which Dadhyac, versed in the Atharva Veda, taught the Asvins. Perceiving this the Rishi said, O Asvins, you set a Horse s head on (the shoulders of) Dadhyac, versed in the Atharva Veda. O terrible ones, to keep his word, he taught you the (ritualistic) meditation on things mutually helpful connected with the Sun, as also the secret (spiritual) meditation on them.
BrihadArUpa2 18 This is that meditation on things mutually helpful which Dadhyac, versed in the Atharva Veda, taught the Asvins. Perceiving this the Rishi said, He made bodies with two feet and bodies with four feet. That supreme Being first entered the bodies as a bird (the subtle body). On account of his dwelling in all bodies, He is called the Purusha. There is nothing that is not covered by Him, nothing that is not pervaded by Him.
BrihadArUpa2 19 This is that meditation on things mutually helpful which Dadhyac, versed in the Atharva Veda, taught the Asvins. Perceiving this the Rishi said, (He) transformed Himself in accordance with each form; that form of His was for the sake of making Him known. The Lord on account of Maya (notions superimposed by ignorance) is perceived as manifold, for to Him are yoked ten organs, nay, hundreds of them. He is the organs; He is ten and thousands many and infinite. That Brahman is without prior or posterior, without interior or exterior. This self, the perceiver of everything, is Brahman. This is the teaching.
BrihadArUpa4 2 Let me hear what any one of your teachers may have told you Jitvan, the son of Silina, has told me that the organ of speech (fire) is Brahman As one who has a mother, a father and a teacher should say, so has the son of Silina said this that the organ of speech is Brahman, for what can a person have who cannot speak? 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 organ of speech is its abode, and the ether (the Undifferentiated) its support. It should be meditated upon as intelligence What is intelligence, Yajnavalkya The organ of speech itself, O Emperor said Yajnavalkya, through the organ of speech, O Emperor, friend is known; The Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, Atharvangirasa, Vedic() history, mythology, arts, Upanishads, verses, aphorisms, elucidations and explanations, (the effects of) sacrifices, (of) offering oblations in the fire and (of) giving food and drink, this world and the next, and all beings are known through the organ of speech alone, O Emperor. The organ of speech, O Emperor, is the supreme Brahman. The organ of speech 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
BrihadArUpa4 11 As from a fire kindled with wet faggot diverse kinds of smoke issue, even so, my dear, the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, Atharvangirasa, history, mythology, arts, Upanishads, pithy verses, aphorisms, elucidations, explanations, sacrifices, oblations in the fire, food, drink, this world, the next world and all beings are (like) the breath of this infinite Reality. They are like the breath of this (Supreme Self).
BrihadArUpa5 1 Aum. That Brahman() is infinite, and this (universe) is infinite. The infinite proceeds from the infinite. (Then) taking the infinitude of the infinite (universe), it remains as the infinite Brahman() alone. Aum is the ether Brahman the eternal ether. The ether containing air, says the son of Kauravyayani. It is the Veda, (so) the Brahmans (knowers of Brahman) know; (for) through it one knows what is to be known.
BrihadArUpa6 14 He who wishes that his son should be born fair, study one Veda and attain a full term of life, should have Rice cooked in Milk, and he and his Wife should eat it with clarified Butter. Then they would be able to produce such a son.
BrihadArUpa6 26 The he gives him a name, You are Veda (knowledge) That is his secret name.
