Gaargi, the daughter of VACHAKNU, and the Great Sage YAAJNAVALKYA
Gaagri the daughter of VACHAKNU, and the Great Sage YAAJNAVALKYA, once faced each other in a discussion on BRAHMAN.
Gaargi, the mischievous Seer wanted to test Sage Yaajnavalkya’s ability to comprehend the hidden meanings of the Upanishad Truths.
She asked many questions and he answered them all immediately.
•What is the world around us? Experiences! •How does it occur? Contact through the Praana! •What is the result? There is some space around us and some sensation of past present and future. •What does it lead to? The conception that we live in a solid world of a fixed time and space. •What are these worlds bound by space and time? Just Illusory worlds! •Who perceives them actually? Pure Consciousness •which is a silent witness unaffected by all experiences. Then who is affected? The mental Faculty! •Why it gets affected? Because of ascertained conceptions about the world. •What is the nature of the mind? Flashes of unceasing thoughts or perturbations. •How is the world cognized? Through Senses! •What is the result of all this? Each perceives a world based on his own mental conceptions. •Who is the perceiver? The individual Self! •Who is the individual Self? A point in the Totality of Selves – Brahma. •What is this based on? Since the intellect is incapable of comprehending the nature of the Para Brahman, it will shatter into million pieces if it ever tries to reason out the Para Brahman. All analysis stops at this point of understanding. https://www.unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants/80881-Pooma-
