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.
