The Supremacy of Breath
- From the Upanishads
The five senses argued who was the best, each saying, "I am better," "I am better."
They went to their father Prajapati and said: "Sir, who is the best of us?" He replied: "He by whose departure the body seems worse than worst, he is the best
of you."
The tongue (speech) departed, and having been absent for a year, it came round and said: "How have you
been able to live without me?" They replied: "Like mute people, not speaking, but breathing with the breath, seeing with the eye, hearing with the ear, thinking with the
mind. Thus we have lived." Then speech went back.
The eye (sight) departed, and having been absent for a year, it came round and said: "How have you been able
to live without me?" They replied: "Like blind people, not seeing, but breathing with the breath, speaking with
the tongue, hearing with the ear, thinking with the mind. Thus we have lived." Then the eye went back.
The ear (hearing) departed, and having been absent for a year, it came round and said: "How have you been
able to live without me?" They replied: "Like deaf people, not hearing, but breathing with the breath, speaking with the tongue, thinking with the mind. Thus have
we lived." Then the ear went back.
The mind departed, and having been absent for a year, it came round and said: "How have you been able to live
without me?" They replied: "Like babies whose mind is not yet fully formed, but breathing with the breath, speaking
with the tongue, seeing with the eye, hearing with the ear. Thus we have lived." Then the mind went back.
The breath, when on the point of departing, tore up the other senses, as a horse, going to start, might tear up
the pegs to which he is tethered. They came to him and said: "Sir, be thou Our Lord; thou art the best among
us. Do not depart from us!" .
Without Prana or the life breath no one lives. This Prana is one with the conscious
Self, and having laid hold of this body, it makes it rise up. What is Prana, that is Self-consciousness.
Together they live in the body, together they go out of it.
