Taittiriya Upanishad 2.8
intermediate
असन्नेव स भवति। असद्ब्रह्मेति वेद चेत्। अस्ति ब्रह्मेति चेद्वेद। सन्तमेनं ततो विदुरिति।
asanneva sa bhavati | asadbrahmeti veda cet | asti brahmeti cedveda | santamenaṃ tato viduriti |
"One becomes nonexistent if one knows Brahman as nonexistent. If one knows "Brahman exists," then by that, they know him as existent."
What This Means:
If you believe Brahman does not exist, you become as nothing. If you know Brahman exists, you are established in existence.
Going Deeper:
Our understanding of reality shapes our reality. Denial of Brahman leads to spiritual death; affirmation leads to fullness of being.
How To Apply This:
Affirm the existence of the Divine. This affirmation establishes you in reality rather than illusion.
