Mystery of Brahman

Understanding the mystery of Brahman is best understood through

meditation and prayer

the discovery of what is not

The process of the discovery is found

after everything has been eliminated

Dharma and karma are

different concepts

doing one's duty/obligation

Karma relates to

the positive deeds performed

Bhrigu is told to

meditate on a progression of things, from concrete to abstract

The order is:

food, life, mind, reason and joy

A person must

understand the mystery of Brahman through prayer

prayer

Brahman is known as the

one universal soul, the self existent and the absolute

The term Upanishad means

to "sit near by"

The Upanishad's teach lessons as a

teacher would to a student, sitting near by and using stories to teach difficult lessons
