CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD NOUN

ChandogyaUpa5 1 Once Svetaketu, the grandson of Aruna, came to the assembly of the Panchalas. Pravahana, the son of Jivala, enquired of him, My boy, has your father instructed you He has indeed, revered sir
ChandogyaUpa6 1 Aum. Once upon a time there was one Svetaketu, the grandson of Aruna. His father said to him, O Svetaketu, live the life of a Brahmacharin. Dear boy, there never is anyone in our family who does not study and is only nominally a Brahmana.
ChandogyaUpa6 2,3 Having gone (to the teacher s house) when twelve years old, he came back when he was twenty Four old, having studied all the Vedas, conceited, arrogant and regarding himself as very learned. His father said to him, Svetaketu, dear boy, you, I see, are conceited, arrogant, regarding yourself as very learned; did you ask for that teaching (about the Supreme Brahman) through which what is unheard becomes heard, what is unthought becomes thought of, what is unknown becomes known Of what nature, revered sir, is that teaching
ChandogyaUpa6 2 Svetaketu did not eat for fifteen days. Then he approached him saying, What shall I say The father said, The Riks, the Yajus, and the Samans, dear boy. They do not at all arise in me, sir
ChandogyaUpa6 5,6 The father said to him, Dear boy, just as when a single ember of the size of a firefly left over from a large burning fire, is made to blaze up by adding straw and it burns much more than before, even so, dear boy, of your sixteen parts, only one part remained, and that being nourished by food, has been made to blaze up; and by that you perceive the Vedas now. Hence, dear boy, the mind is made up of food, the Prana is made up of Water, and speech is made up of fire. From his words, Svetaketu() understood it yea, he understood it.
ChandogyaUpa6 1 Once Uddalaka Aruni said to his son Svetaketu, Dear boy, know from me the true nature of sleep. When a man is said to be sleeping, then, dear boy, he has become united with Being and has attained his own nature. Hence people speak of him as sleeping, for them he has attained his own nature.
ChandogyaUpa6 7 That Being which is this subtle essence (cause), even That all this world has for its self. That is the true. That is the Atman. That thou art, O Svetaketu. Revered sir, please explain it further to me So be it, dear boy said (the father).
ChandogyaUpa6 4 That Being which is this subtle essence (cause), even That all this world has for its self. That is the true. That is the Atman. That thou art, O Svetaketu. Revered sir, please explain it further to me So be it, dear boy said (the father).
ChandogyaUpa6 3 That Being which is this subtle essence (cause), even That all this world has for its self. That is the true. That is the Atman. That thou art, O Svetaketu. Revered sir, please explain it further to me So be it, dear boy said (the father).
ChandogyaUpa6 3 The father said, Dear boy, know that even so, being left by the living self this body surely dies, but the living self does not die. That Being which is this subtle essence (cause), even That all this world has for its self. That is the true. That is the Atman. That thou art, O Svetaketu. Revered sir, please explain it further to me So be it, dear boy said (the father).
ChandogyaUpa6 3 That Being which is this subtle essence (cause), even That all this world has for its self. That is the true. That is the Atman. That thou art, O Svetaketu. Revered sir, please explain it further to me So be it, dear boy said (the father).
ChandogyaUpa6 3 That Being which is this subtle essence (cause), even That all this world has for its self. That is the true. That is the Atman. That thou art, O Svetaketu. Revered sir, please explain it further to me So be it, dear boy said (the father).
ChandogyaUpa6 3 That Being which is this subtle essence (cause), even That all this world has for its self. That is the true. That is the Atman. That thou art, O Svetaketu. Revered sir, please explain it further to me So be it, dear boy said (the father).
ChandogyaUpa6 3 That Being which is this subtle essence (cause), even That all this world has for its self. That is the true. That is the Atman. That thou art, O Svetaketu. Revered sir, please explain it further to me So be it, dear boy said (the father).
ChandogyaUpa6 3 And as in this case he (the man attached to truth) is not burnt, (similarly a man of knowledge is not born again). Thus has all this world That for its self. That is the true. That is the Atman. That thou art, O Svetaketu. From his words Svetaketu understood That yea, he understood.
