SAMA VEDA : Chhandyogya Upamishad Page 8 of 20
[Story of SHETAKETU:]
(BEE----FLOWER ----HONEY------ ;BRAHMAN ( Like Salt In Water).
Shetaketu was Uddalaka's son and studied all the Veda-s for 12 years and returned home as proud and confidant.
His father asked : 'Did you ask your teacher for Spiritual Wisdom that enable one to hear the UN-heared, , think the UN-Thought, or know the UN-known'?
" What is that wisdom father ?"---asked Shetaketu.
The father: ' In the beginning was the BRAHMAN , the ONE without Second .And there is nothing that does not come out of THAT .
In dreamless Sleep one is with the SELF, though he knows it not.
As the bee suck honey from many flowers and all honey become ONE, so that no drop can say , --I am from this or that flower, all living beings are from that ONE but only --,theydonot know.
There is nothing that does not come out of Brahman .
Of everything , THAT is the INMOST Self.
DEATH ---->The HOUSE is DESERTED ; the DWELLER is GONE .
When Death comes , the Self departs from the body . The Body dies but the Self DOES NOT.
Now, bring some salt . --- put it in water and bring it to morrow .--------(next day)
What you taste in water'
Shetaketu --' I taste salt everywhere father! '
Father : -' You are that Shetaketu , you are that '.
[ " Tottomosi , Shetaketu"(sanskrit)].
