COMMENTARY

In the Taittiriya Upanishad, III., 2 we find that Bhrigu goes several times to his father Varuna and asks him again and again, to be taught the nature of Brahman.

Bhrigu Varuni went to his father Varuna, saying Sir, teach me Brahman. He told him this, viz, Food, breath, the eye, the ear, mind, speech. Then he said again to him: That from whence these beings are born, that by which when born, they lire, that into which they enter at their death, try to know that. That is Brahman.

This injunction about repetition, is meant for those only who have done some such sin that a single performance of tin; act is not sufficient to give them the Divine Vision.

Note: This sin is called Nama-aparadha. Those who are such sinners, and the majority of mankind falls in that category, require to repeat the Sadhanas before they can see God.

Adhikarana II — The Lord must be worshipped

not only as a cosmic ruler,

but as the very inmost self of the worshipper

Now the author raises another discussion regarding the same subject.

Doubt: Must this worship of God be done by thinking upon Him as the Lord of all Majesty or as the Timer Self of the Worshipper? .Meditation on the Lord as Ishvara is to think Him as Almighty, the All-ordainer, the Terrible, the Unconquerable, etc., while meditation on Him as the Self means to think of Him as all love, as the Highest Man, etc.

Purvapaksha: The Lord must be meditated upon as the Ishvara. For the Shvetashvatara Upanishad, (IV., 7) says:

«On the same tree man sits grieving, immersed, bewildered, by his own impotence (an-isha). Hut when he sees the other fiord (isha) contented, and knows his glory, then his grief passes away».

Siddhanta: The Lord must be worshipped as the Self, as shown in the following Sutra:
