The Upanishads, Part 1, no. 132, Part XIII summary

Part 1, no. 132, Part XIII of 170 · 1 min to read the part

In XIII, the teaching presents the Divine as the reality underlying both visible and invisible existence, whose true nature becomes known through recognition of His being. The commentary distinguishes grasping divine attributes through ordinary faculties from directly perceiving God's existence through sight beyond the senses.

What happens

  1. The teaching calls for recognizing the Divine's existence and His reality in both visible and invisible realms.
  2. His true nature becomes revealed only to someone who knows that He exists.
  3. The commentary says ordinary human faculties cannot provide vision beyond the senses.
  4. Mind, sight, and speech grasp divine attributes, while supersensuous sight permits direct perception of God's existence.
