"Mahat-Tattva"

1. Individual intellect is rooted in the Mahat-tattva, says the Upanishad.

 

 

2. Mahat-tattva is the concept of  the total mind or intellect.

 

 

3. How the individual intellect is conditioned by the Total;-intellect is very well experienced at every moment by every on of us, although rarely are we conscious of it.

 

4. Take the example of a young man sitting in his house, rather restless because of his capacity to watch as many movies as he wishes to, or because he has not yet come to possess a radio all to himself.

 

5. Compared to his grand father's generation, we can say that this young man has started worrying for a thing over which our grand fathers never thought of complaining or grudging.

 

 

6. The young man is now thinking in terms of his age, and to that extent we may say that he is a product of the thought of his times.   

 

Taittiriya Upanishad: Chapter-2: Brahmananda Valli ( On the Bliss that is Brahmam), Section-4, Mantram2.
