Sense of oneness is the message of
The Brihadharnyaka pointed out that this oneness is proclaimed by the all pervading sacred "". This pervasiveness can be experienced in a myriad ways, above all, in the sound that can be heard when one is alone and closes his ears. Man has to realise the redemptive power of . It is the means to overcome the vicissitudes of life and realise union with the Divine. The body is like a water bubble that originates in water, grows in water and merges in water. The body is the water bubble and is the water. It has come from and has to merge in Him. The and are designed to teach such spiritual truths. But human beings, caught up in the coils of worldly life, are a prey to all kinds of troubles and tribulations. Some of them are always prone to doing harm to others. They convert even the good to evil. For such persons there is no end but utter destruction. Everyone, therefore, has to know something about human life and the Divine life. There are many who cannot see anything good, but see only what is bad. There are others who always see what is bad, but consider it as good. Both these ways of looking at things are false. The man with a godly outlook sees the good always. In human life, one should not have any kind of bad thoughts. Even when someone reviles you, you should practise self-restraint and remain calm. There is no power equal to such self-restraint. Everyone should develop such tranquillity (or peace). The more peaceful you are, the greater your longevity. People today easily lose their peace. They get enraged on the slightest provocation. There are four types of men who view the good and the bad in different ways. Of these, worse than demons are those who deride all that is good and picture it as evil. These perversions are a reflection of the bad times confronting mankind. Such attitudes are indications of impending disaster.
