ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ

Chandogya Upanishad, Verse 6.8.7 · Traditional (Upanishadic); taught by sage Uddalaka Aruni · Vedic / Upanishadic

In the sixth chapter of the Chandogya Upanishad, the sage Uddalaka Aruni instructs his son Shvetaketu, who had returned from twelve years of study proud of his learning. Through a series of beautiful illustrations — the clay and its products, the juices gathered by bees into honey, the rivers merging into the sea, the salt dissolved invisibly in water, and the seed of the great Nyagrodha tree — Uddalaka shows that one subtle essence underlies all things. Concluding each teaching he declares, 'That is the Truth, That is the Self, Tat Tvam Asi — That thou art, O Shvetaketu,' repeating it nine times so the truth is firmly grasped.

ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ

Sages of the Vedanta tradition hold that the sincere realization of this single sentence is itself the goal of all scripture — that the moment a prepared seeker truly knows 'That thou art', the long dream of separateness and the fear of death dissolve, for one has recognized one's own Self as the deathless Brahman.

This is a mantra for contemplation rather than mere repetition. Sit quietly, recite 'Tat Tvam Asi' slowly, and reflect on its meaning — that the 'Thou' (your innermost awareness) and the 'That' (Brahman, the source of all) are one and the same. Traditionally studied under a qualified teacher after preparing the mind through hearing (shravana) and reasoning (manana), then dwelt upon in deep meditation (nididhyasana).

ಈ ಪುಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂರ್ಣ Tat Tvam Asi (That Thou Art) ಕನ್ನಡ ಲಿಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇದೆ — ಅವೇ ಮೂಲ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳು, ಅಕ್ಷರ-ಅಕ್ಷರ ಲಿಪ್ಯಂತರಗೊಂಡು, ನೀವು ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಓದಿ ಪಠಿಸಬಹುದು. ಯಾವುದೇ ಸಾಲನ್ನು (ಅಥವಾ ▶ ಬಟನ್) ಒತ್ತಿ ಅದರ ಪಠಣ ಕೇಳಿ.
ಹೌದು — ಲಿಪಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬದಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ; ಪದಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಅವುಗಳ ಅರ್ಥ ಮೂಲವೇ. ಈ ಪುಟದ ಶ್ಲೋಕ-ಶ್ಲೋಕ ಅರ್ಥ, ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಗಳು, ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಅನ್ವಯಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.
Tat Tvam Asi means 'That thou art' or 'You are That'. It teaches that the innermost Self (Atman) within you is identical with Brahman, the supreme Reality that is the essence of the entire universe.
It is from the Chandogya Upanishad (Chapter 6, Section 8, Verse 7), part of the Sama Veda. The sage Uddalaka Aruni repeats it nine times while instructing his son Shvetaketu about the nature of reality.
Mahavakya means 'great saying'. There are four principal Mahavakyas, one from each Veda. Tat Tvam Asi is the Mahavakya of the Sama Veda. These statements concisely declare the identity of the individual Self with Brahman and are used for meditation leading to liberation.
It is meant for contemplation, not just chanting. After hearing the teaching from a teacher and clearing doubts through reasoning, the seeker meditates on the meaning until the truth 'I am That' is directly realized as one's own experience.
