Tat tvam asi "That thou art" The eighteen parts of Bhagavad Gita illustrate the profound truth of the Upanishads. The first six chapters are an exposition of tvam , 'thou', Atman,and raveal the nature of our real, eternal Self. The second six chapters concern Tat,'That': Brahman, the supreme Reality underlying all creattion. The last six chapters explain asi, 'is', the relation between tvam and Tat.: the identity of the Self within and the supreme Reality, which unites all existence into one whole. The Gita develops this truth in practical terms: by dicovering our real Self,we realize the indivisible unity of life and become united with the Divine Ground of existence. |
