Master EK’s commentary on “ Aham Vrkshasya Rerivā…” in his Tai.U. Rahasya Prakāsa

1.  Aham Vrkshasya Rerivā| Kīrtih Prshtham Gireriva: For doing Veda-Adhyayana in the proper

and right way, we have to do some meditations. One of them is this: Gireh Prshtham means the

 back (= top) of the mountain. ts Kīrtih ie., the mountain!s good name wi"" b"oom by #how

much full of essence it is!, ie., as the materia" in the mountain increases, it becomes higher and

so its Kīrtih a"so. $hat is, the good name of #! spreads "ike that of the top of a mountain

depending on #how much of the power of Brahman does it manifest fully ! so that this #! ho"ds

itse"f higher natura""y (w%o de"iberate effort) and ma&estica""y by its inherent strength (not by

conceit. 'h. p. ays that this *rahman depends and is supported by its inherent nobi"ity and

greatness: Sve Mahimni Pratishthitam ). +ust as peop"e speak eu"ting"y of the greatness of a

mountain irrespective of their know"edge of its true greatness, the *rahma-ra&na of #! is a"so

"ikewise he"d in high esteem. $hen how to manifest this power of *rahman in #!/ Vrkshasya

 Rerivā : "ike the wea"th of a tree. +ust as the inherent essence and maturity of a tree is known on"y

 by the ripened state of its fruits, so a"so the essence of a person is known on"y by his good deeds,

 by his meditations (deep thoughts and reso"ves he practices to perform those deeds),

the other accessories and imp"ements ("ike house etc) he arranges to aid in such

 performance and the know"edge (0eda) he studies that gives the procedures of doing those good deeds.

$his ra&na of #! brings forth the organi2ed comp"e arrangements (vyūhas)3 of wor"ds ( jagat ),

ie., Samsāra-Vrksha from the unmanifest seed (avyakta bīja). o meditate as # Let me bloom as

the flowers and fruits of the wealth of greenery that gives name and fame to this mountain

of Brahman!.

4. Ūrdhva Pavitro Vājinīva Svamrtamasmi : $he ra&na of #! is Ūrdhva Pavitra. 5e know that

sacredness increases among the Annamaya Prānamaya Man!maya 6 Vijnānamaya K!sas, as

we go up to the subt"er K!sa. #! is the "nandamaya K!sa that is the innermost pervading

 princip"e of these K!sas. 7ence it is both Ūrdhva 6 Pavitra. Vājinī: $his #! is fastest "ike the

horse. Svamrtamasmi: *ody may appear dead but this #! is death"ess. 8nother meaning: Vājinī

#Vas$#Amrtam: Vas$s means #riches 6 wea"th! of materia" wea"th, "ustre and good inte""ect-#!

on"y become a"" these. $he 9shi gives us the meditation of # Let me exist as the wealth Vas ! of 

this Evolving "niverse#$ree  Srshti!Vrksha! !. 7ow/ *y directing my senses and mind upwards

towards the "timate (instead of getting "ocked to the ephemera") in my present birth, can

 perform a"" my deeds in a good and meritorious way as worship of Paramātma and offer them to

7im so that and my actions are tru"y the wea"th of this Samsāra-Vrksha, ie., are facing upwards

towards its source and a"so the meditation of  % am &mrta as the meaning of '%’ is

deathlessness3. $hose that practice this meditation in their "ife, bring up their chi"dren and their

grandchi"dren in this manner of Veda-Adhyayana and by their contact give them this 'haitanya-

"ight of #% am &mrta#(war)pa’*

achieved with my inte""igence and actions: my worships, he"ping others, the houses bui"t, the

 properties bought, whatever thought so far as wea"th is not really so, but whatever is useful

to others+people at large is truly my wealth* +ust as the un knows this entire evo"ution as his

tru"y owned by *rahman.
