Dialogue with Death #31: The Illuminator

Chinmaya Mission - Gita, Upanishads and Ancient Knowledge

Can an inert object know another inert object? Can the body, senses or mind know themselves? Kathopanishad sheds light on the true Knower. The Chaitanya which is unborn and imperishable, that alone is the illuminator. We only know a table is a table as a result of a thought. It is only when my thought goes to something that I know it exists. It is the Chaitanya that powers that thought, that allows us to see in a dream and in the dark.
