The essence of Mundaka Upanishad is:~ Do not be satisfied with rituals, yoga etc.++****




Atmic peace is nondualistic peace. Nondualistic peace is the nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Atmic bliss is non-dualistic awareness; there is no enjoyer present to enjoy it or to distinguish it from misery.

The yogi revels only in 'bliss' that is experienced i.e. that comes and goes, but yogi's bliss is not Atmic bliss.

Yogi's bliss is limited to the physicality. All chakra-based bliss is within the domain of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Atmic peace will be disturbed only if one recognizes a second. Hence, the yogic peace is temporary: the only enduring peace belongs to the sages of truth for it is non-dual.

Dualist or realists could not distinguish between the ‘I’ and the ‘formless witness.’ They take the ‘I’ as the Self or the witness. Their highest is to say I AM THAT without verification.

Dualists so much attached to the 'I' that they do not want to think that 'I' itself is an illusion. Again one is unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real witness, which is ever formless. Dualists foolishly hold that the “I” persist in deep sleep, but they cannot prove it.


The essence of Mundaka  Upanishad is:~  Do not be satisfied with rituals, yoga, etc. which are good in their own way but inquire. Into what? Brahman and Atman are things you can never see. So do not inquire into them. Inquire into the world around you, which you can see. Science tells you it is passing away every second. Everything is dying repeatedly. Where is it going? Thus, you follow up your inquiry into what you can lay hands on. How can you inquire into Atma which you cannot see? So first we deal with the known and seen, this inquiry leads up to the unknown in the end.

According to Sage Sankarait is the ignorance of our real nature that causes suffering and pain. The desire for happiness is essentially a longing to awaken to realize the truth hidden by ignorance. 

The final state is that consciousness is everything, the All; there is nothing but consciousness, whereas to say "God is in me" is mysticism.

Gnanic bliss is non-dualistic awareness; there is no enjoyer present to enjoy it or to distinguish it from misery. The yogi revels only in 'bliss' that is experienced i.e. that comes and goes, but his bliss is not Gnanic bliss or awareness.

Gnanic peace will be disturbed only if one recognizes a second. Hence, the yogic peace is temporary: the only enduring peace belongs to the sages of truth for it is non-dual.

Dualist or realizes could not distinguish between ‘I’ and ‘formless witness.’ They take ‘I’ as the ‘Self’ or the witness. Their highest is to say I AM THAT without verification. They are so much attached to the ‘I’. They do not want to think that 'I' does not exist. Again one is unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real witness, which is ever formless. Dualists’Gurus foolishly hold that the “I” still persist in deep sleep, but he can't prove it. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
