The Upanishads, Part 1, no. 125, Part VI summary
Part 1, no. 125, Part VI of 170 · 1 min to read the part
In VI, a wise man distinguishes the senses and the changing body from the Atman, which has neither birth nor death. This distinction explains his freedom from grief: he understands that physical growth and decline do not affect his real Self, so he remains unmoved by these changes.
What happens
- A wise man recognizes that the senses and their changes are separate from the Atman.
- He distinguishes the birthless and deathless Atman from things that begin and end.
- He sees his body and senses change without believing that his real Self changes.
- This understanding frees him from grief and leaves him unmoved.
