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.
