All that which goes into the making of a home
This is an interpretation of the most abstruse of all ancient texts, the Mandukya Upanishad. I have only attempted the verses up to 6 of its entire 12 stanzas, the rest is technical. Some amount of intense concentration will be required to grasp the import of the verses.
Is this pastiche? Well I leave it for you to decide
All that which goes into the making of a home
The word home verily is everything
Its interpretation being-
Our Parents, Us and our Children
Are that which goes into the making of a home
Yet the home supersedes all the three generations
And exists as home alone
Lets us first think of the us part
We are the present-
We train our thoughts only on the superficial
Of course we work 24/7,
(There are the children to be considered!)
And we have 19 different interests at a time
Next are our children
They are the future
They reside in a dream land, and are at it 24/7
They have 19 billion interests
But can barely count 19 at any time
The third is our parents
They are our past
Some of them are safely underground
We can only envy their state
They are in bliss and is one with the universe
The home, strangely, is never conscious of ours, or
Our children’s or of our parent’s desires,
It’s also not conscious of itself,
It’s neither consciousness, nor unconsciousness
To all else but us it “is unseen, action less,
Incomprehensible, uninferable, unthinkable,
Indescribable”
Its only proof consists in the identity of
Ourselves with it
And this is what to be known
