Kena Upanishad 4.1 meaning
sa brahm-eti h-ovacha brahmano va etad vijaye maheeyadhvam iti
tato ha-iva vidanchakara brahm-eti
सा ब्रह्मेति होवाच ब्रह्मणो वा एतद्विजये महीयध्वमिति।
ततो हैव विदाञ्चकार ब्रह्मेति॥
Umā said, 'That was Brahman. It was through Brahman's victory that you were feeling so glorious.' Only then did Indra understand that it was Brahman.
What it means
The answer is simple: the power you were proud of was never only yours. Seeing this does not make you small; it connects you to something far greater than personal pride.हिंदी में अर्थ
उमा ने कहा, 'वह ब्रह्म था। ब्रह्म की ही विजय से तुम अपने को इतना महान समझ रहे थे।' तभी इंद्र ने जाना कि वह ब्रह्म था।
जवाब सरल है: जिस शक्ति पर तुम्हें गर्व था, वह केवल तुम्हारी कभी नहीं थी। यह समझ तुम्हें छोटा नहीं, बल्कि अहंकार से कहीं बड़ी चीज़ से जोड़ती है।
Spoken by Uma.
