Tänään aamusella tsekkasin TM-liikkeen pomon, Tony Naderin MD, PhD, MARR, naamakirjan viimeisimmät postaukset. Niiden joukossa oli mm. David Lynch -vainaan muisteluvideo. Sieltä bongasin tutun sloganin 'satyam eva jayate' [satjam eeva dsajatee, Totuus lopulta(?) voittaa)], सत्यमेव जयते, joka on Intian kansallinen motto (national motto). En ole aiemmin tiennyt, että se on peräisin muNDaka upanishad'ista (muNDakopaniSat), jota väitetään kenties mystisimmäksi kaikista upanishad'eista.

Löysin mielestäni loistavan käännöksen & kommentaarin, laatijana Svami Krishnaananda (svaamii kRSNaananda). Tässä satunnainen otos kommentaarista, opuksen loppupuolelta (näköjään pdf:stä copy-pasteemalla tekstiin tulee rutkasti ylimääräisiä välilyöntejä):

The indivisible nature of the Atman is reflected in
the individual in the form of the urge for perfection, pre -
ceded by a sense of imperfection. The in ner es sence of
the in di vid ual al ways points to the pos si bil ity of and

means its non-tem po ral na ture also. It is not di vided by

The indivisible nature of the Atman is reflected in the individual in the form of the urge for perfection, preceded by a sense of imperfection. The inner essence of the individual always points to the possibility of and necessity for an undivided state of existence. The universe manifests itself as an organic whole and has got the characteristics of harmony and synthesis among its contents. The character of indivisibility implies that of infinitude or Absoluteness, as that which is divisible is conditioned by space, time and motion. Perfection cannot be spatiality. The non-spatial nature of perfection means its non-temporal nature also. It is not divided by past, present and future because of non-objectiveness. Absoluteness can have neither origin nor phenomenal continuance nor cessation. Hence it is eternal, which explains everything, but which itself is not explained by anything. Non-temporality is the same as immortality, which again is the nature of perfection or existence without change. The inability of the individual to rest continuously in any form of phenomenal life, and the constant urge from within to transcend oneself ever felt by the individual, are the harbingers of the knowledge of the fact that the individual is in essence a non-in…
