Human Mind is faster than flowing rivers.
Truth is Greater and Better than Heaven.
Anger, Ignorance, Self Conceit,
The cause of Dissatisfaction, Greed and Resentment is Hope.
HOPE in itself is not bad, Yet when Combined or Driven by Vanity from a bed of Selfishness, Conceit and Avarice is the Most Disgusting Cause of Disatisfaction.
Most humans are covered with this for something or the other that they seek either for themself or for Others.
This leads to the Question, "What should the ideal Human Being? Can everyone be a True Brahman?
So let me make an Attempt to answer the question in itself with a few more supplementary questions.
Who is a True Brahman?
What is a True Brahman?
A True Brahman as per the Buddha:
"Whoever is Friendly amidst the Hostile, Peaceful amidst the Violent, Content amidst the Clinging,
He, whose Passion and Hatred, Pride and Hypocrisy have just Fallen away like a Mustard Seed on a Needle Point,
Whoever speaks words that are gentle, informative, pleasant and offensive to none, him I call a true Brahman".
http://www.swami-krishnananda.org/brdup/brhad_V-04.html for The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad by Swami Krishnananda CHAPTER V. Fourth Brahmana: Brahman as the True or the Real.
Age is no Bar or Respecter of Knowledge.
A Knowledgeable Person irrespective of the Age is Supreme before all Beings.
Yes a True hallmark of a Supremely Knowledgeable Person is Humility.
Knowledge is and can be acquired while Humility as a quality is in born.
At best it can be imbibed over years of Conscious choice of practising Humility through Strict and Rigorous Discipline.
Discipline that tempers the Human Brain, Thoughts, Controls Acts
and Overcomes Temptations of the Highest Order,
is Like the Fine Tempering of Gold through Fire
and Constant Unrelenting Hammering into a Fine Piece of Jewellery,
that adorns the physique of a lady and thus increasing her
into a more Beautiful Being.
In an Individual being Brahman remains Hidden as the Inner most self and participates silently in the Sacrificial art of Living.
Truly Brahman is the Most Ancient Priest and the only True Priest.
Every Cycle of Creation is an Act of Sacrifice, a grand Ritual and every Aspect of Creation is either an aspect of ritual or a ritual by Itself.
This is best brought out by the Bhagawad Gita through the following verses;
He who is Free From Attachment,
who is Liberated,
whose Mind is established in Knowledge,
whose Actions are but Actions of Sacrifice only,
His Actions are Completely dissolved.[Ch. 4 V. 23].
Such a Person is the True Brahman.
His Offering is Brahman,
His Oblation is Brahman,
His Sacrificial Fire is Brahman,
The Sacrifice is Brahman.
He Certainly Attains Brahman, Who finds Brahman Situated in All Activities.[Ch. 4 V.24].
Some Offer Sacrifices to Gods while Performing Yagnas,
while the Mystics Worship the Supreme Brahman being
by Offering the Self in the Sacrificial Fire of the Brahman.[ Ch.4.V.25]
I am Kratu [Vedic Ritual],
I am Yagna [Sacrificial Ceremony],
I am Svadha [An Offering in the Sacrificial Ceremony],
I am Medicine,
I am the Mantra [the Sacred Chant]
i am Adyam, [Fuel in the Yagna],
I am Agni [Fire],
I am Hutam [the Burnt Remains of an Offering in the Yagna][Ch.9 V.16].
