It will show how the Upanishadic teachers used to teach their pupils, — not by giving discourses, but by suggesting a few key words and leaving the pupils to meditate thereon and to explore by thought and askesis. "Bhrigu, Varunaʼs son, came unto his father Varuna and... and a hint. The rest is for the pupil to work out, The first answer that Bhrigu arrived at was that Food, that is Matter is the Eternal. Indeed, matter is so pervasive and so directly seizeable by our senses that the easiest position to take for the sense-bound consciousness is that Matter is the only Reality. As Bhrigu declares to his teacher: "From food alone, it appears, are these creatures... — this is the first formulation of thought in its ascent. This is materialism. But Bhrigu did not stop here. He came back to his father and said "Lord, teach me the Eternal.ˮ But the teacher gave only an enigmatic answer: "By askesis do thou seek to know the Eternal, for askesis is the Eternal.ˮ Bhrigu went back to concentrate in thought and by energy of his brooding he ascended to the next ...
