The Cosmic Cognitions to Live as Cosmos

Upaniṣads are the first, foremost, and final words, given to the Universe from the Universe, given to humanity from the Cosmos. Each Upaniṣad mantra is a Cosmic Cognition for you to live as Cosmos.

Upaniṣads are not like Science, every day developing. For example, today a scientist declares something as truth and everyone will agree to consider it as truth. People will make their life's decisions and align everything based on that declared truth. In ten years, another scientist will come and prove that whole 'declared truth' as false and declare something else as truth. Then, people will align their life towards that. And then, after five years, somebody else will come and declare that as a lie and prove something else as truth.

Understand, if the truth is going to be changing tomorrow, it is not truth even today. Upaniṣads are not like Science, which is evolving or changing. Science is like a scientist who carries a lantern in a thick forest and tells the truths about the forest to the world, 'There are ten trees, two snakes, and...dark.' When he walk further into the forest, 'No. The forest is not just ten trees, two snakes; it is more than twenty-five trees and two elephants.' When he walks much deeper, 'No! It is not even twenty-five trees. Any side I turn the lantern, it is trees, trees, trees all around, and different types of animals!' This is what is Science.

But, Upaniṣads are the Ṛṣi sitting and seeing the whole forest in a flash of lightning and describing it. Understand the difference between these two. The lantern descriptions will always change.

But, the Ṛṣi sitting on the peak of the hill, seeing the whole forest in one flash of lightning, and penning it down, is Upaniṣads!

Nothing like Upaniṣads that declare all the Truths in such a close way to the heart. Such a beautiful way to live. User-friendly!

Clean your whole cognition and keep it ready! Bhagavad Gītā is 'considered' as Upaniṣad, not Upaniṣad! Even the words of the Incarnations are not kept at the same level of Upaniṣads in Hindu Tradition.

Śruti, heard! Upaniṣad is not said by any Ṛṣis; It is heard (śruti) by the Ṛṣis.

Upaniṣad is directly the Universe that declares about Itself universally to the Universe. It is the Cosmos that sang about Itself!

Clear up all your old cognitions about Life. Clear up all your old cognitions about God. Drop all your old cognitions about You, about the World. Drop all your old cognitions and be fresh to receive the Original Cosmic Cognition from the Cosmos Itself—to plan and live your life as the Cosmos wants you to live. Upaniṣads are so juicy and so spicy! It is not a dry book. It gives such amazing understanding! It has a lot of juice; It has a lot of beauty; It has a lot of joy! It is so full of Life.

Each Upaniṣad mantra is a Cosmic Cognition for you to live as Cosmos. Your relationship with You, your relationship with God, your relationship with Life, your relationship with everything can be defined and redefined with these Upaniṣadic mantras. Upaniṣadic mantras!

Upaniṣadic mantras are far more powerful than any sound you can hear on Planet Earth. In such powerful vibrations, such powerful Truths, you are going to receive it.

Prepare yourself, clean up all your old cognitions about you, complete with all of them, because you are going to complete with Completion Itself and enter into the space of complete Completion, which Upaniṣads describe as the state of the Cosmos, as the state of the Universe.

Be ready for the Cosmic Cognitions, because each verse of the Upaniṣads is life-affirmative.

For example, the second verse of Upaniṣad says,

'Decide to live hundreds of years, living in this liberated way.'

What a life-affirmative science! It is not life-negative. And, every one who hears these mantras, their DNA will be deciding, supported to decide, and programmed to live hundreds of years. Not just by giving you these Cosmic Cognitions, but making them as core of you—your DNA, your very bio-memory, your very muscle-memory! It is your bio-memory that is being programmed into Upaniṣads; your DNA, your muscle-memory and bio-memory is being reorganized and rearranged into Upaniṣads.

Each of the mantra (verse) should be heard, loved, cherished, digested, lived, radiated and enriched! Get ready, dropping all the old cognitions to live this new cognition.

Removing these old cognitions, and recording these new Cosmic Cognitions called Upaniṣads into your very core, into your very DNA, is Cosmic Cognition.

For the whole Hinduism, the Vedic tradition, Upaniṣads is the book. The main core message that the Ṛṣis delivered to the Universe.

Dhamma, spreading this Cosmic Cognition to the world, is the greatest service we can do to the world. Once these Upaniṣads are delivered, this book will become the core book for the whole Vedic tradition! Very politely, one of the greatest spiritual happenings is happening now in the Cosmos through these revelations of Upaniṣads, the Ākāṣik Records of the Upaniṣads.

I am not going to comment; I am just going to explain the context from which the Upaniṣadic Ṛṣis explained, and the pre-text and the post-text, and repeat It. Get ready to enjoy Upaniṣads, experience Upaniṣads, radiate Upaniṣads. Let you all become Śiva Gaṇas receiving Upaniṣads directly from the space of Mahādeva, and living it, living it, living it!

Complete with all your old cognitions. Get ready to have the Cosmic Cognition as your own cognition.

Let the Upaniṣadic Rṣis radiate through us and bless us to receive what they shared with the whole world. Let us pray to Mahādeva being Ādi Ṛṣi, Ādi Guru (original sage, master), who transmitted these Upaniṣads to Sapta Ṛṣis (seven perfected sages) and Sanata, Sanatkumāra, Sanātana, Sanakādi Ṛṣis (four eternal sages), to reveal these great Truths and make all our lives complete and experience Śivoham.
