Swami Sarvapriyananda elaborates on the allegory of the two birds in the Mundaka Upanishad in a lecture given at the Hollywood Temple on 11th December 2016. He goes on to describe how of the two birds sitting on the same tree, one is emblematic of the empirical self, and the other symbolizes the eternal, transcendental self

1.Physical Body = tree = sthul shareer 2.Subtle body= sukshm = only we experience 5 sense 5 motor 5 prana mansa = thoughts emotions buddhi = intellect 3.Causal body = Karan shareer = what we experience in deep sleep =blankness =Causal ignorance 4.Chidabhas = realised conciousness = awareness 5. Sakshi =Witness conciousness = pure consciousness = what we really are Lower bird= subtle, causal , realised conciousness = imperfectness = bhokta , karta = What is being reflected? Pure consciousness so it is always present with realised conciousness Higher bird = pure consciousness Abhigan gyan karma = we don't really know we are higher bird , and doing karms= karmafal = janambandhan

This TWO BIRD episode in Mundakopanishad is very intriguing. Dualists misuse it to uphold their own beliefs and theories. I am grateful to Swamiji for clarifying it so nicely weaving it into the warp and weft of monistic view point. This Swamiji is an Avtar in Advaitic tradition.

Who is misusing it? Have open mind. The upanishad never says the lower bird realizing that there are no two birds. read the upanishad before blabbering something.

@@kesavatadipatri9078 Well actually the Upanishad does says that. Maybe you should try to realize it if you are an advaitin. But if you are a dualist, no need to take the effort. You will realize Advaita in yout own time. Dont have to regard something as true or false. Both Advaita and Dvaita are true from their own grounds of interpreatation though Advaita is the ultimate state and philosophy.

It's the other way around. The advaitins misuse the Upanishads to uphold their on beliefs and theories, and thereby confuse and mislead the gullible people.

Swamiji gets distracted often by the latecomers to his discourse. People must occupy seats from the front and leave last seats to latecomers so that he won’t be disturbed often. So nice of him he pauses to point them to vacant seats in the front. Hope the learned audience realize this and try to be on time.

I enjoy the fact that swami is kind and gracious enough to point to a seat ensuring everyone has a chance to hear. He is in the front and he can see the open chairs. People are free to sit wherever they choose, maybe they have to leave early and sit at the back, we never know!!

The problem with living a worldly life is that we build up momentum, and it becomes more difficult to change our way of living. In this sense the Swami and Swami Vivekananda’s advice to go ahead and enjoy the world as much as we want is not good. The more we try to enjoy the world the more difficult it becomes to stop trying to enjoy it. Every physical law applies on the subtle and spiritual levels as well. As above, so below. So best to strive for sobriety as much and as soon as possible.

I never read mandukya upanishad or heard any such type of stories... but reached here searching over internet. Could you please explain what all this means... to a common spiritual seeker like me.
