The fifth verse of Ishavasya Upanishad.
तदेजति तन्नैजति तद्दूरे तद्वन्तिके।
तदन्तरस्य सर्वस्य तदु सर्वस्यास्य बाह्यतः॥Thadhejathi Thannaijathi Thadhdhoore Thadhvanthike |
Thadhantharasya Sarvasya Thadhu Sarvasyaasya Baahyathah ||
“That moves, and That moves not. That is far off, That is also near.
That is the inner space of all this. That is also the outer space of all this.”
I can go on repeating this verse, but will never be able to comment on it. May be, I will intercept and reveal the pre-text, context, for all of you to understand the meaning and make it more user-friendly.
तदेजति तन्नैजति तद्दूरे तद्वन्तिके।
तदन्तरस्य सर्वस्य तदु सर्वस्यास्य बाह्यतः॥
Thadhejathi Thannaijathi Thadhdhoore Thadhvanthike |

Listen! Listen! Anything moves and moves not should be beyond which moves and moves not, understand? The way to realize the reality… See, the way to perceive the Perception, is not to question it too much. If you question it, it will melt down like a dream. The moment you stop questioning the dream, dream will melt down. Dream always presents completely illogical things in front of you. And if you question it, especially the person whom you really like appears in the dream, almost about to hug you, if you ask, ‘How can this be possible so easily?’, the dream will disappear, understand? The item which you always wanted to eat is in front of your table; you are about to eat. If you ask the question, ‘How can this be possible so easily?’, the dream will disappear. Whenever you relate with Perception, you have to do it very sensitively; you can’t touch it, you can’t question it. It is “Touch-Me-Not”. Always your Perception is “Touch-Me-Not”. That is why, when you question your love, it will disappear. All your so-called falling in love – ‘Lovvvee…..’ – the falling in love, the moment you question it, ‘Is it authentic?’, straightaway you will see, it lands on just the skin, and skin colour; not even skin deep! Perception, the moment you question, dissolves, disappears.
Next, Fact will stand the scrutiny of logic, but not larger life logic. Listen! Fact will stand the scrutiny of logic, but not larger life logic. For example, if somebody makes a statement, ‘Earth is flat’, yes, it will stand the scrutiny of your simple logic, straightforward logic. ‘Yes, it looks flat. So it is flat.’ But it won’t stand the larger logic which you can understand with various equipments, not with just your empty eyes. The larger logic. The facts are such, it will stand the scrutiny of ordinary logic, but not the larger logic.
Truth will stand anything which you can grasp, like logic, larger logic, machineries, the scientific discovery, research. Truth will stand for anything. But, still, it is not reality. It won’t stand the scrutiny of the Consciousness.
Reality is the one and only one which can stand the scrutiny of the Consciousness, understand?
All confusions in the world is the fight between Perception, Fact, Truth, Reality. Whether it is in the field of religion, science, spirituality, logic, law, mathematics, any field, it is just the fight between Perception, Fact, Truth, and Reality.
Blessed are those who are always established on realization of Reality.
I tell you, the most non-suffering way of existence is establishing yourself in reality. Don’t go for perceiving about you, life, or God, based on what larger number of people say. They don’t know, and they don’t have time to analyze, scrutinize. Second, don’t go with your calculation. You know how to calculate only your salary. A person who receives one lakh salary can never imagine or perceive raising and spending zillion dollars. No! It takes literally transformation, understand?
If it goes above your head, listen to this satsangh once or twice, participate in the Vaakyaartha Sadhas, listen now what I am saying.
Don’t decide what is God, who is God, based on what larger number of people tell you. Never think because larger number of people tell, it is truth. No! Don’t go for what is God, who is God, based on your logic which can calculate only very less levels. Don’t go for deciding what is God, who is God, based on your understandings about your perceptions. The only way you can realize, cognize the reality, God, is Apta Pramana, the declarations of rishis, and Atma Pramana, declaration of your Guru from his own realization. The Apta Pramana of rishis have become Atma Pramana of me. The realizations of rishis have become my realization, and, if you internalize that, my realization will become your realization, the Apta Pramana of Guru will become Atma Pramana of you, understand?
Here Consciousness, God, is declaring who is he, what is he. He is declaring about himself.
तदेजति तन्नैजति तद्दूरे तद्वन्तिके।
Thadhejathi Thannaijathi Thadhdhoore Thadhvanthike
The word “Thath” (तत्) is translated as “That” here wrongly. The “Thath” (तत्) here will not mean “That”. “Thath” (तत्) is “Truth”.
Thath ejathi (तत् एजति): “Truth walks”.
Thath naijathi (तत् नैजति): “Truth does not walk”.
Thath dhoore Thadhvanthike (तत् दूरे तद्वन्तिके): “It is far off. That is also near”. Thadhdhoore Thadhvanthike (तद्दूरे तद्वन्तिके)!
Thath antharasya (तत् अन्तरस्य): Means, “That is the inner space”.
Sarvasya (सर्वस्य): “For everything”.
Thadhu Sarvasyaasya Baahyathah (तदु सर्वस्यास्य बाह्यतः)!
Only when your Third Eye is awakened, you will understand there is no such thing as “inner”, “outer”. I am telling you! That is what is the result of Third Eye awakening. How to find out for somebody Third Eye is fully awakened?
The idea of “inner”, “outer”, will disappear in them! You will see my Gurukul kids will experience that! Actually, I am working with more and more powerful meditation processes and techniques with the kids.
When the Third Eye is open, you will be able to see, perceive everything inside and outside, without even knowing any difference or gap. Completely freely! Completely freely!

It is ignorance which reminds you, which makes you feel something is “inside” and “outside”, something is “far off” and “near”. It is like, in the Ganga, one bamboo is floating. Because that bamboo is there, you say “Right side Ganga” and “Left side Ganga”. Ganga ever got divided? No! If you just remove that bamboo stick, Ganga got united? No! Neither division nor uniting ever happens is reality.
- Ganga is “divided” is Perception.
- “Right Side Ganga”, “Left Side Ganga” is Fact.
- ‘No, it is not divided’ is Truth.
- ‘It can never be divided or united’ is Reality.
Listen! Bamboo, single bamboo stick can give you Perception, Fact, Truth, which does not exist. You can go on be arguing and establishing.
तदेजति तन्नैजति तद्दूरे तद्वन्तिके।

तदेजति तन्नैजति तद्दूरे तद्वन्तिके।

The idea of “inner”, “outer”, “moves”, “moves not”, all this is created. Just like bamboo stick creates division in Ganga, your ignorance, powerlessness, creates division in you, or appears to have created division in you. How you will handle the bamboo stick, you should handle exactly the same way your ignorance. You should know it can never divide you as “inner” and “outer”. It can never make you “inside” and “outside”. It can never make you “moves” and “moves not”.
Today’s Vaakyaartha Sadhas is this one subject: “BAMBOO STICK, POWERLESSNESS STICK”.
Understand this one example: What bamboo stick floating on the Ganga does to it, and what ignorance, powerlessness floating on you does to you. This example if you merge, Ganga is your Consciousness, bamboo stick is your powerlessness, right and left is which you call as “inside and outside”, “moves and moves not”, “far off, near”, all that. How, when you look at the small area, it really looks bamboo stick has divided Ganga. For an ant, that bamboo stick is equivalent to dam – ‘Wow! Such a big dam! Ganga cannot touch me! I am protected!’ That bamboo stick is not even a ship, it is a dam for an ant!
So:
- How when your Perception is too small what all the impact that bamboo stick, powerlessness does in you;
- When your Perception grows a little bit and rises to the level of Fact, what that bamboo stick does to Ganga, and your powerlessness does to you;
- When you rise to the level of Truth, what that bamboo stick does to Ganga and what your powerlessness does to you;
- When you rise to the level of Reality, what that bamboo stick does to Ganga, what your powerlessness does to you;
- What that bamboo stick means to Ganga, what your powerlessness means to you;
have Vaakyaartha Sadhas on this. You will understand, grasp:
