Immortality is when there is just sky and skyness || On Mundaka Upanishad (2021)

यस्मिन्द्यौः पृथिवी चान्तरिक्षमोतं मनः सह प्राणैश्च सर्वैः । तमेवैकं जानथ आत्मानमन्या वाचो विमुञ्चथामृतस्यैष सेतुः ॥

yasmindyauḥ pṛthivī cāntarikṣamotaṃ manaḥ saha prāṇaiśca sarvaiḥ tamevaikaṃ jānatha ātmānamanyā vāco vimuñcathāmṛtasyaiṣa setuḥ

He in whom are inwoven heaven and earth and the mid region, and mind with all the life currents, Him know to be the one Self; other words put away from you: this is the bridge to immortality.

~ Verse 2.2.5

✥ ✥ ✥

Acharya Prashant (AP): “He in whom are inwoven heaven and earth and the mid region,” everything between heaven and earth means everything in total, “and mind with all the life currents,” mind with all its stuff, “Him know to be the one Self; other words put away from you: this is the bridge to immortality.”

To simplify: He in whom are inwoven, contained heaven and earth and everything in between — meaning the entire universe — He who contains the entire universe and the mind with all its currents of thoughts and passions and experiences, Him know to be one Self. ‘Self’ here refers to Ātman . “Put other words away from you: this is the bridge to immortality; this is how you keep death away from yourself.”
