As Sri Bhagavan was going out, the Vedic chant was heard from the hut.
Sanskrit sloka:—“Antarāditya manasā jvalantam— Brahmanta vindat.” Sri Bhagavan drew our attention to it and remarked:—
In the Taittriya Upanishad also, He is said to be made of gold, etc. What does it all mean? Although the Sun and the other luminaries are said to be self-luminous, yet they do not shine forth of themselves but they shine by the light of the Supreme Being. (Na tatra suryo.... vibhāti.) So long as they are said to be separate from Brahma their “Self-luminosity” is the luminosity of Brahma. All these mantras mentioning the Sun, etc., speak only of Brahma.
