The Upanishads, Part 1, no. 167, Part V summary

Part 1, no. 167, Part V of 170 · 1 min to read the part

In V, the teaching turns to the embodied Soul and explains that the seeker approaches Brahman only through the mind, repeatedly remembering and contemplating Him. Constant thought purifies the mind, which then resembles a polished mirror capable of reflecting His divine glory.

What happens

  1. The teaching turns to Adhyatman, the embodied Soul.
  2. The seeker uses the mind to remember and contemplate Brahman repeatedly.
  3. The mind's swiftness allows it to follow Brahman, whose glory and speed resemble lightning.
  4. Constant contemplation purifies the mind so that it can reflect divine glory.
