An intresting Sloka in Katha Upanishad

There is a difficult sloka / shloka in Katha Upanishad.

Many Vedic students approached me to get clarified on it. Hence I liked to show the difficult situation and the right meaning.

It’s good to have some clarity in it.

Katha Upanishad 2-5-14

Na tatra suryo bhati

 न तत्र सूर्यो भाति न चन्द्रतारकम्

Here तत्र tatra doesn’t refer Atma , but it means 'here' in this context - vishya saptami.

Let us put it in to a dialog ….

Fa: Son, do u see t sun shining tr, is nt?

Son: Ya, pa. it shines.

Fa: Son, It s nt true, really it doesn’t shine.

u see t moon shining tr, is nt?

Son: Ya, pa

Fa: Son, It s nt true, really it doesn’t shine.

u see t lightening shining tr, is nt?

Son: Ya, pa

Fa: Son, It s nt true, really it doesn’t shine.

आत्मा एव भान्ति, स एव भान्तः

Son: Pa, but why I don’t see him?

Fa: Son, ty all being revealed by Atma only, and they all reveal him only

Sarvam^1/1 , tam^2/1 bhaantam^2/1 eva anubhaati^3/1

As because of his light only it appears tt everything shines as manythings ,

तम् एव भान्तम् अनुभाति सर्वम् ।

तस्य भासा सर्वम् इदम् विभाति ॥

(आत्मा^1/1 एव भान्ति^3/1),

तस्य^6/1 (आत्मनः^6/1) भासा^3/1 इदम्^1/1 सर्वम्^1/1  विभाति^U/1  -  भावे

तम्^2/1 भान्तम्^2/1 (आत्मानम्^2/1) एव -  सर्वम्^1/1 अनुभाति^U/1 - कर्तरि
