Kena Upanishad 1.6 meaning
yan manasa na manute yen-ahur mano matam
tad eva brahma tvam viddhi n-edam yad idam upasate
यन्मनसा न मनुते येनाहुर्मनो मतम्।
तदेव ब्रह्म त्वं विद्धि नेदं यदिदमुपासते॥
That which the mind cannot think, but by which, they say, the mind is able to think: know that alone to be Brahman, not this that people worship as an object.
What it means
You can observe your thoughts, so you are more than your thoughts. When the mind races with worry, remember there is a quiet awareness behind it that is never anxious.हिंदी में अर्थ
जिसे मन सोच नहीं सकता, पर जिसके कारण, कहते हैं, मन सोच पाता है, उसी को तुम ब्रह्म जानो, उसे नहीं जिसे लोग किसी वस्तु की तरह पूजते हैं।
तुम अपने विचारों को देख सकते हो, इसलिए तुम विचारों से बढ़कर हो। जब मन चिंता में भागे, याद रखो उसके पीछे एक शांत चेतना है जो कभी बेचैन नहीं होती।
