कठोपनिषत्् (katha upanišad),-कठोपनिषत्् (valli VI), (S.-4, Ch.-6, V.-2) |
यदिदं किं च जगत् सर्वं प्राण एजति निःसृतम् । महद्भयं वज्रमुद्यतं य एतद्विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति ॥ २॥ |
yadidaṃ kiṃ ca jagat sarvaṃ prāṇa ejati niḥsṛtam । mahadbhayaṃ vajramudyataṃ ya etadviduramṛtāste bhavanti ॥ 2॥ |
prāne (sati), = the supreme Brahman, (being there); yat idaṁ kiñca jagat sarvam = all this universe that there is; niḥśṛtam (sat), = having emerged; ejati = and moves or acts; [That Brahman which is thus the cause of the origination etc; is] mahat bhayam = greatly terrifying; vajram udyatam = like an upraised thunderbolt; ya etat viduḥ = they who know this; amṛtas te bhavanti = they attain immortality. |
Whatever there is−the whole universe−vibrates because it has gone forth from Brahman, which exists as its Ground. That Brahman is a great terror, like a poised thunderbolt. Those who know It become immortal.
