Vishnu - Nagesh D. Sonde

Further Explanation:
Guru is one who knows the supremacy of Vishnu and is comptenet and
qualified to communicate the supremacy of Vishnu to others. Therefore, the
poblems lies not with the Guru but with the disciles who are being
communicated.In life the forms are seen not the essence within the forms. Because
ethe form is seen not the essence within th forms. Death knows the immutable,
eternal essence thereforehe is comptenet and qualified to communicate. But in life
one is accustomed to accept whatever is comuniated by people who have seen,
heard,smelt, touched and thought with gross instruments of perception, but not
whatis comuniated by people who have experienced seeing, hearing, smelling,
touching and thinking with subtle supra-sensory instruments of perception;
havefaith in the scientists and empirical thinkers and not in saints and seers.
Upanishad :
kamasyaaiPtM jagat: p`itYzaM k`taoranan%yamaBayasya parma\ |
staomamahdurugaayaM p`itYzaM dRYT\vaa QaR%yaa QaIrao naicakotao|%yasa`axaI: || 11 ||
For fulfillment of desires and for proceeding to the fearless worlds beyond are the
sacrificial rites and rituals established. Great fame and extended existence, O
Nachiketa are for you since you did let go (worldly pleasures) with determination.
Bhashya :
“k`taoranan%yahotuma\ | staomaOrip savaa-%manaa p`aPtumaSa@yaM staomaoByaao|ip mahantma\ | ]rugaayaima%yau>%vaacca na
jaIvaivaYayaao|yaM p`Sna: |” - Sacrifice is the eternal enterprise. From „staoma’ it is possible to
attain the all-pervading Self. Therefore, „staoma maht\‟ is supreme sacrifice. Since the
word „]$gaaya‟ is used, the query is not about Jiva (but about the Lord).
“Sarao (a%maa ba`*ma tllaxyamaucyato,, Sarva%vaacca naaicakotaignasqaao Bagavaanaovaaocyat [it isasma\ | ]rugaayaM
dRYT\vaa kamasyaaiPtma%yasa`axaI: | na ca maR%vaa yamaM p`aPtsya naicakotsaao maRtao|ist navaoit saMSayaao yaujyato ||” - „The
self is the arrow and Brahman is the object aimed at‟ „like the arrow one becomes
single pointed‟ „through fearless attention, reaching out to the beyond‟ „attains
closeness with Him‟ – with such (scriptural) statements the distinct character (of
the Lord) alone is emphasized, not the similarity (of the Jiva with Lord). When one
speaks of seeing Nachiketa, one‟s desire to see Resplendent Lord abiding in
Nachiketagni becomes established. Having died and having seen Yama, there is no
reason for any doubt that (the goss form of) Nachiketa died.
