Mahavakyas permit the seeker to get there at the non-twin character of the Self and set an end to the bondage by declaring the information of the Atman and Brahman. The 4 mahavakyas can be interconnected.
There are four Vedas and one assertion from every Veda signifies every single vakya (statement)
Mahavakya This means Upanishad Veda
1 Prajanam Brahma-Consciousness is Brahman-Aitreya Upanishad-Rg Veda
2 Ahambrahmasmi-I am Brahman-Brahadaranyaka Upanishad-Yajur Veda
3 Tat Tvam asi-That thou art-Chandogya Upanishad-Sama Veda
4 Ayamatma Brahma-This Self is Brahman-Mandukya Upanishad-Atharvana Veda
The principle of how the 4 Vedas are interconnected is spelled out by interlacing a lovely tale involving a student and a vedantic instructor.
The college student, a vedantic disciple strategies the trainer and seeks to be taught about the greatest Truth of the matter. The Guru defines the Truth – Prajanam Brahma (Consciousness is Brahman). This statement is referred to as Laksana vakya, a statement of definition simply because it describes Brahman.
The student gets a sensation that the Guru is referring Brahman as the Self but he generally believed that the Brahman was unique from him. So he goes back again to the trainer for clarification.
Guru now presents the assertion ‘Tat Tvam asi’ (That thou art) and declares that the seeker is the sought! Given that this statement is ‘teaching’ is Upadesa vakya -assertion of instruction.
The scholar now bestowed with the awareness intellectually that ‘the Self is the non-dual’ focuses on mediation and with dispassion & discrimination, overcomes the belief that the system, thoughts and intellect are conditioning on the Self and straight ordeals the Brahman -Aham brahmasmi (I am Brahman), anubhava vakya, a assertion of working experience.
When the scholar has realizes this point out, the instructor advises him to revel and abide in this information. This character of abidance is ‘Ayam atma Brahma’- ‘This Self is Brahman’, is ‘anusandhana vakya’, ‘a statement of frequent apply.’
The student hardly ever loses sight of this experiential information even when transacting with the entire world all around him/her.
This rational sequence delivers a street map to listen(sravana), mirror (manana), contemplate (nidhidyasana), working experience (samdhi)and stay on study course (nistha) firmly.
