Mundaka 2.01
तदेतत् सत्यम्।
'This-That' - is the truth, the reality.
मन्त्रेषु कर्माणि कवयो यान्यपश्यन् तानि त्रेतायां बहुधा सन्ततानि। तान्याचरथ नियतं सत्यकामा एष वः पन्थाः सुकृतस्य लोके ॥१॥
The sages saw the prescribed actions in the mantras, which were extended in many ways during the Treta age. O seekers of truth, perform these actions regularly; this is your path to the virtuous world.
Bhāshya 2.01
'This-that reality' mentioned is nothing but the Lord. Desiring Him, to serve His intentions - perform actions. Then, that itself is the higher knowledge. Otherwise, these sacrificial-forms are like unsteady rafts.
तदेतत्सत्यं भगवान्। तत्कामाः कर्माण्याचरथ। तदा सापि परविद्या। अन्यथा प्लवा ह्येते अदृढा यज्ञरूपाः॥
'This-that reality' mentioned is nothing but the Lord. Desiring Him, to serve His intentions - perform actions. Then, that itself is the higher knowledge. Otherwise, these sacrificial-forms are like unsteady rafts.
