ONE AND ONENESS BY DIAMOND PICKED UP IN THE STREET

The Vedic Truth and Sri Ramkrishna Dev as a Hindu

3. Sri Ramkrishna: – “Brahma has never been defiled by tongue as nobody has ever been able to speak out what Brahma is”.

The declaration is a negative one and enshrouded with sophistry. Having failed to attain Brahmahood the negative school of the Vedic teaching, in order to thwart the positive school, created this dilemma which apparently seems positive in the garb of negative.

Long long before this negative school came into existence the Vedic Rishi Jajnavalka declared – “I am Brahma” (Aham Brahmasmi).

Rishi Uddalaka addressed his son Swetaketu for nine times in succession and spoke out ‘Thou art That” (Twat Tawmasi). This “Thou art That” did not confine in a single individual but at once its Universal aspect was declared:

Twam stri twam pumanasi twam kumara uta va kumara.

Twam jirna dandena vanchasi twam jato bhavasi vishwato mukhah.

(Swetaswatar Upanishad – 4/3)

(Thou art woman, thou art man, thou art boy and also girl, thou art old man tottering with a sick and verily thou art the whole human race.)

This open and mysterious declaration of attainment of Brahmahood is de facto.

Let a man attain this Brahmahood and the attainer will be seen by myriads of people within their own bodies and declare the most mysterious and amazing fact of the attainment of Brahmahood by a living man.

Yes, in the present era this is the living picture of “Diamond” – a man alive, 74 years old (The Writer’s age in 1966).

The conclusion runs thus – both Jajnabalka and Uddalaka are right and the life of Diamond bears its proof and its veracity is witnessed by the numberless people as it is they who give publicity to the Vedic principle and declare the eternal truth – Man is Brahma.
