Brahman Makes Great

One who knows the Brahman follows the dictum that foodgrains must not be criticized. Foodgrains are the breath of life and food grains sustain the physical body. It is the breath of life which grants foodgrains and it is the breath of life which sustains the physical body. He who knows the nature of foodgrains, is blessed with foodgrains and becomes like food grains himself. Such a person has sons and animals and attains fame. The Brahman energizes him and makes him great.

"Upanishad"

Sanskrit Sloka 

 

ko 'yamatmeti vayamupasmahe
katarah satma yena va rupam pasyati
yena ca sabdam srinoti
yena va gandhanajighrati
yena va vacam vyakaroti
yena va svadu casvaduca vijanati

Meaning : Who is that Lord whom we worship? Out of the two souls residing in the body, who is that witness who is worshipped by us? The tiny jiva soul observes to see if he is the same as that Lord by seeing Whom one sees, by Whom one hears or by Whom one smells or talks about. Or by how one discriminates between the bitter and the sweet. Are we one?
