Mantra: yato vacho nivarthanthe aprapya manasa
saha anandam brahmano vidwan
Meaning: The upasaka
of Ananda which is the form of Brahman ( the form of Manomayatma’s sira and paksha) from
whom manas and speech retract without
comprehending it, will not be afraid of thing in the world!
The person who
has realized the Brahman will not feel guilty, in his last moments,of not
performing good deeds or regret why he did sinful acts before he died. One who
realizes this aspect strengthens his atma. In other words he treats both punya ( good deeds) and papa ( sinful deeds) equally
as Paramatma! There is nothing different or separate for such a realized soul.
Hence he is fearless and nothing affects him. The moment he is tainted with the
slightest amount of avidya and sees the difference, he begins to fear many
things.
A single Moon
is projected as two moons by the affected and diseased eyes. In the same way
due to avidya one sees different things. An upasaka has destroyed such avidya.
He Knows that there is nothing different
from the atma. There is no cause for fear. So there is no fear.
These secret aspects of Truth propounded
in Brahmavidya are described in Brahma or Anandavalli. This is the most secret
of all Vidyas. The word ‘upanishad’ also
means ‘rahasya vidya (secret). It provides for the much desired salvation or
moksha. So it deserves the name ‘upanishad.’
