======================================================================== ======================================================================= 10/01/2020. Post-1. ======================================================================= In the first chapter of Kenopanishad knowledge of Brahman is revealed. It is the eye of the eye, ear of the ear, and cannot be comprehended with the senses but because of which the senses function. It is the witness of the three states of experience, it is the substratum of world and it can be intuited in the state of meditation. The first step is Shravanam then Mananam and Nididhyasana – meditation. But if we are unable to meditate or contemplate or unable to comprehend what the Scriptures are saying then we should do the initial Sadhana of Upasana. Upasana helps us to tune our mind to the Supreme and make it pure. Upasana is to superimpose the idea of divinity on the everyday objects, in our work, in the name and every interaction we do.
