Mundaka Upanishad, Verse 3.1.1 (also Shvetashvatara Upanishad 4.6) · Traditional (Upanishadic) · Vedic / Upanishadic
Opening the third Mundaka, the seer paints an unforgettable picture: two birds of golden plumage, close friends, perch on the same tree. One tastes the sweet and bitter fruit of the tree; the other, eating nothing, watches in calm splendour. The tree is the body and the world of experience; the bird that eats is the individual soul caught in joy and sorrow, and the bird that only looks on is the supreme Self. The Upanishad goes on to say that when the grieving soul beholds the other, the worshipful Lord, and knows His greatness, its sorrow passes away — making this image a doorway to liberation.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
The Upanishad declares that the moment the soul, grieving in its bondage, turns and beholds the other bird — the Lord who is its own real Self — and rejoices in His glory, it crosses beyond all sorrow; so this single vision of the witnessing Self is said to set the soul free.

ਅਰਥ:Two birds, inseparable companions, cling to the same tree. Of the two, one eats the sweet fruit; the other, without eating, simply looks on. (One bird is the individual soul absorbed in tasting the fruits of action; the other is the supreme Self, the witness, ever serene.)

Dva Suparna (Two Birds on One Tree) ਪਾਠ ਵਿਧੀ
Recite 'Dva Suparna' slowly and picture the two birds on one tree. Notice in your own experience the 'eating bird' — the part of you immersed in pleasure, pain and the results of action — and then the 'witnessing bird', the calm awareness that simply observes it all without being affected. Rest your sense of self in that witness. The Upanishad teaches that as the soul turns from grief to behold this serene Lord, it attains supreme peace and freedom.
