AMRUTHA BINDU UPANISHAD

This is a very small Upanishad explaining about mind in 22 lines.

1. This Upanishad tells us that there are two parts for our mind.

2. Part one is the location where all the cravings and negatives are stored which is the asuddha /impure part. Part two where all the positives are stored which is the pure part of mind.

3. Greatness of an individual is due to the active positive /pure part of the mind and people becomes negative in their nature due to the active negative part of the mind, says the Upanishad.

4. The influence of meditation in mind is greatly explained in few lines here.

5. The method of controlling the impure part of the mind through saadhana is further explained

6. The meditation is said to be possible only by controlling the negative part of the mind and then focusing omkaram through the positive part of the mind.

7. By taking the pure mind to brahmajnaana praapti level and elevating himself spiritually, the yogi can attain a level free from rebirth. Through great sacrifice also one can attain the level to become free from the rebirth

8. Vedas are the main source of knowledge and one should learn Vedas and attain higher and higher levels n spirituality.

9 Just like the butter is present in milk, the knowledge is present in Vedas and it should be taken by churning the Vedas by yoga saadhana. Just like the clay is present in all pots, the Brahma thathwam is present in all living and non living beings says this Upanishad.

10. Every one should understand that knowledge is present in every living beings and everywhere and one should realize this to become brahmajnaani, through brahma saakshaathkaara and enjoy the brahmaananda.
