[Advaita-l] Mandukyopanishad for the Sanyasis

[kuntimaddi sadananda]

Chetanji - PraNAms
 
Upanishad's teaching become fruitful when one gives up or  sanyaasa to the notion that I am the waker, I am the deamer, I am the deep sleeper and thereby get established in the truth that I am the turiiyam that is pointed out in the mantra 7 - naantaH prajnam ...That is the real sanyaasa - tyagenaike amRitatvamaanasuH.
 
After that one can live like mandUka - both in the water and on the shore without getting drowned - that is in the state of realization as well as in the world of plurality. 

Hari Om!

        In my opinion, Mandukya upanishad is not just limited to
sanyasis. I do not see that there is any proper validity of this
conclusion.
