If you could detach your self from the bodily impulses and rest in
Consciousness, you should be able to identify the path of annanda
and be freed from oppression of bodily limitations of bondage like
birth, vriddhapya, diseases and the consequential miseries life long.
Both the Supreme and the Inner Self are stable yet on the move,
near yet faroff, right within yet outside
Raja! do seek to burn off the forest of agjnaana or the ignorance with
the agni jvaalaas of sincerity and conviction that ‘ Aham
Brahmaasmi’ – I am the Singular Self as of the Pure Consciousness
and Self- effulgent of Purity. Beware, that you be not bitten by the
black poisonous serpent of egoism and self centeredness of ‘aham
karta’ but yes with the nectar of resuscitation. This be so as You be
the Consciousness over which the snake and rope analogy be
applicable. Similarly the universe be of a ‘midhya’ and You King
Janaka be the Reality. Consciousness which is the substratum of the
universe as would be remaining externally pure and transparent. That
person who could consider as free be certainly free and liberated
while that person who be feeling as of bound be under bondage as
thinking would make so.
The Self being the Antaraatma be like the pure gold made of golden
ornaments as the basick substance of the Universe as the Pure
Consciousness like the clay in a pot and as such, Janaka, be not of
the hallucination and of fantasy of the Prakriti the Maya as the
Paramatma and as such your capability of comprehension would
need to be expansive. You, Janaka! Ought to realize that You are
unfathomable as being limitless, formless, super intelligent and
totally unaffected by superfluous extraneous nor bodily aberrations
like the arishad vargaas of kaama krodha lobha moha mada
matsaraas. Be realized too that what you know be the mirage while
what you not know be the Reality indeed. And by this ‘goodha
rahasya’ you could disprove the oft quoted that the antaratma be
jumping from one body to another. That which is born is destined to
die and this truism is a law of nature; then why get concerned much
about death! This Atma the Inner Soul is such as could be torn or
:
broken nor burnt by fire, washed by water, dried by air, cut into
pieces, but is replete with every thing, and is eternal. Antaratma the
Inner Soul is steady, age old, inconceivable by one’s physical parts or
mind; nor subject to the changes of time! One has therefore to
realize the essence of ‘atma tatva’ and its everlastingness or eternity!
Just as a mirror exists within and without the image reflected in it, so
be the Paramatma be extraneous and integral too.Just as the space
inside and outside a jar, the Avyaya-Shasvata- Ananta- Aja- Avyaya.
Janaka uvaacha:
Then Janaka reassures that he be not in his deha, nor have the
body, but the Jeevatma, the Pure Consciousness, as having been
liberated as of Pure Consciousness with no bondage of hunger and
thirst. Body be explained as the of the Matter. As there is
‘tadaadmya’ or absolute Identity, the Self and the Supreme ought to
be the same, irrespective of the play of senses and thoughts that the
body carries!In the vision of that person whose realisation that all the
Beings are the very Self, then where is the sorrow and where is the
fantasy or flight of imagination! Once there is ‘tadaatmya’ or the
Unity of the Self and the Supreme, then such an enlightened person
attains the same position as Paramatma even if he moves about in
his current existence, since that person has no barriers of movement
nor of features. Body as the Matter while the Self as jeeva be of the
Pure Consciousness yet of the finite self while bondage refers to the
cessation of a Being!
Guru Ashtaavakra queried Janaka that the latter having realized the
Truly Indestructible Self of Tranquility, how would he be feeling
detached without wealth, kingship and the varna-aashrama
dharmaas. The precise status of Self Realization be of little
conditionality of the Universe besides the awareness of body, mind
and the arishad vargaas of kama krodhaadis since superimposed.
The person under reference viz. Janaka as being sufet with the Atma
Jnaana or the Self Knowledge be the Jeevan mukta with self
consciousness, mobility and as of normal self. The Universe be
indeed nothing but be superimposed unto Him while the acts of
mind and senses being normal yet in a supreme state. He could be in
a body and what ever be doing as a normality and the difference
between ignorance and enlightenment be distinctive. In the case of a
person of Atma Jnaana, the difference of consciousness be not
easily perceivable by the mundane beings.
Be this not strange that one standing for the Supreme non duality
and the sense of emancipation be subject to hunger for
covetiousness be possible. Being aware that lust and avarice be the
enemies for Atma Jnaana, how a person could readily be eager to
sensual enjoyment! Struggle to surmount all kinds of impediments is
fraught with innumerable means of material desires and practices on
one hand and sharpen the edge of spiritual bent of mind with
tenacity, dedication and extraordinary faith on one’s own ability on
the other hand.This is some thing that calls for a revolutionary
transformation in one’s daily routine and psyche. It demands
sufferance, self-negation, and total abstinence to the point of break
down by way of extreme self denial. Control of mind and detachment
by the severe possible hold and command of organs and senses of
chakshu-shravana-naasika-manasika-twak media. One’s own
‘Antaratma’ or the Innermost Consciouness needs to be churned out
by persistent practice as detailed in the above stanza, by way of
struggle, friction and persistence just as oil is extracted from
sesamum seeds, butter from cream of milk, water by digging deep
from dried earth, and as Agni by friction of ‘aarani’ or wood sticks! In
the constant and even tiring efforts of truthfulness and extreme
austerities, the Individual of total commitment might thus be able to
:
discover the Final Truth finally; Constant churning of a clean and
transparent mind is the quintessence of the exploration, just as of
ghee in milk which again is obtained after constant churning!
Rare being that human being who could realize that the Self on the
body be the Supreme of the Universe.That person of Self Awareness
be fearless from any quarter under the momentum of actions either
of the sanchita or praarabhdha nature. As that person be free and
the actions too be spontaneous. This Absolute Power is seen by
none as it is not a sense object and as such, it is its own evidence
since it is the ability of vision by itself; similarly it is never heard as it
is not an object of hearing by itself; it is never the thought as it is not
the object of thinking, but is the Unique Thinker and personification
of thought. Thus, finally it is this existence that is the subtle essence
and all that merges into That or The Self! And that indeed is the Self:
Tatwam Asi or This be Truly The Truth that the Self and Thou Art
Thou.
The Universe rises like the bubbles and the foam of the maha
saagara as of the drishya maana midhya jagat and as the body once
collapsed and the Self or Antaratma a reflection of Paramatma be the
substance behind the Universe as the mere superimposition and that
be the singular manner of Atma Mahatmya vigjnaana and thus you,
Janaka! be finally accomplish Mukti.
King Janaka stated that the boundless aakaasha and the Universe be
like a ‘ghata ’ are a jar and that wisdom or sufficient atma jnaana be
neither approved nor disapproved. As of such ghataakaasha be as of
the infinite space be far beyond and yet like the Daharaakaasha.The
Supreme Paramatma bestows Self Representation as the Antaratma
or the Inner Consciousness of each and every being of sthaavara
jangama – moving or non moving beings.. Now, that Self
Representation is anchored to ‘Daharaakaasha’ which is surrounded
by ‘hita’ the ‘naadis’ of one’s body; the latter passes through three
essential stages of Awakenness-Dream Stage of ‘Nidra’ the sleep
and Sushupti the self enlightenment. To that Supreme Paramatma
who reflects His own duplicate titled Antaaatma links up diligently
the soul and body, the Sadhakas prostrate for His excellence in
Srishti of the Maya or the Make Believe and indulges his Eternal Play
! He however allows His own play instruments to follow the path of
jaagriti, swapna-sushupti and the Ultimate of His own Supreme Self.
Despite the non-dual Reality of the Self and the Supreme as exists in
the Lotus Heart of ‘Daharaakaasha’ or the Small Space, one’s own
:
body parts are responsible for deeds and the Self is but a mute
spectator !
The Self as the Antarama be like a maha saagara and the universe is
‘like’ just a wave. This be as of the Parabrahma Jnaana rahasya. The
Self as being the Antaratma as ever be purged of aakaara-vikaara-
vyavahaaraas and acceptance or rejections, yet be present as the
silent spectator of the happenings as of the un univerese and hence
the charaachara jagat. When the expression of ‘like’ be used the
understanding ‘might’ be perceptible to ‘jnaanis’ since water or
Naara-and Ayana as of the restful be possibly perceivable. Similarly,
the Self be the substance while the name and form of the universe
be illusory as the Maya be shrouding the Truth, the Absolute Truth.as
of Satyam-Shivam and Sundaram. Hence ‘Aham Brahmaasmi’ .
King Janaka then stated that unto him the boundless samsaara
saagara, the ark of the universe be moving and hither and thither
propelling and pushing by the winds of its own nature and even so
am not becoming impatient and eager to act. As the buffeting and
harsh winds of the samudra be however nodoubt impulsive yet am
able to withstand the pressures as the Self be strong and sturdy.
The Self as being all pervasive and infinite and hence therefore be
not contained and accessible by the fixed and restricted objects by
one’s body senses and mental aptitudes. Even so in spite of the
comprehensibility the self be not reachable any way owing to the
unchallengeable ‘damana shakti’. Maya as Prakriti is the material
cause which is derived from Conciousness and follows the behest as
a limiting adjunct of the Supreme Brahman; put in another way
Prakriti the Maya is the tool of the Almighty to conceal His Reality
and the Great Truth! The Mother of the Universe in totality creates
the real and unreal nature of it, protects it from the interplay of, and
:
balancing between, the Tri Gunas of Satvika-Raajasa and Taamasika
features and withdraws it periodically as per kaala maana decided by
the Over Lord, even without ever affecting Him! In other words, Devi
Bhagavata Purana (I.ii.5) declares: Srishtvaakhilam jagadidam
sadasad swarupam, Shaktyaa svayaa trigunyaa paripaati
Vishvam, Samhartya kalpa samaye ramate tathaikaa, Taam
Sarva Vishva jananeem manasaa smaraami/
Ashtaavakra stated that when one’s mind were to any desire then its
unavailability is bound to emanate grief and likewise the hold or loss
be too. And that be known as a bandhana as of the resultant losses
and gains.All the karmaacharana be the baic ingredient of human
existence. Yet never abstain from the performance surely expected
of you. ‘Karma Phala’ is as per the decision of the Almighty. What
ever is decided as per destiny shall doubtless be awarded to you.
Never hesitate to accept by way of self desire or by the misleading
advice of the public. The very feeling of disappointment creates
suspicion and self repudiation. This tends to lead to frustration which
is the anti-thesis of contentment and thus further leads to a string of
inabilities for further successes! That situation is tantamount to ‘
jadatva’ or total lack of initiative!
As and when and there be the Trishna swabhaava that indeed there
be the samsaara and proudha vairaagya be aptly defined as the
discarding that miragelike trishna and be the curving trend to aim at
the nishchita aananda prapti. In other words, be that realised that
whenever there be the pull and push of the prapancha , the trishna
and the attitude of enjoyment there be reversal of paramaartha
saara.
Kevala trishna be the the root cause of ‘bandhana’ and its vinaasha
naama be the moksha.In the samsaara, the ‘anaaskta bhaavana’ be
named as krita krithyata and ananda upalabdhi. Thus bondage
comprises the destruction of desire and that be the liberation.
:
Twamekashchetanah shuddho jadam vishvamasatthathaa,
avidyaapi na kinchitsaa kaa bubhutsaa tathaapi te/
Ishvara be the ‘sarva nirmaata’ and none else. Once that Realisation
be firmed up then all the ‘aashaa-niraashaa bhavanaas be
evaporated and that would result in desirelessness. The awareness
that Parmeshvara be the srishti-sthiti-laya kaarana then the feelings
of attachments and detachments be vanished.
Having no attachments for sound and such sense objects the Self’s
perception be of duality of mine and mine and thine or the Aham and
Brahman and hence the human self be seeing, hearing, speaking,
thinking and knowing. But when the knower of Brahman be turning
as everything would become the Self, then what should be smelling,
seeing, hearing, speaking and thinking as the Self be turned as the
:
Supreme Self, having been freed from attachments,sense objects
and so on.
Having nothing to accept or reject, and having neither joy nor mental
fatigue and sorrow be possible only when self identification be able
to anchor thyself to the Supreme Self as of neither misery nor
pleasure of equanimity and composure.
‘Janaka uvaacha’ ‘
Tatva bodha could easily transform even the mooka vyaktis too
transform mooka-jada-aalasa prajaas or of mute-inert and inactive
even as of eloquent, wise, and jnaanis too. And hence shunned by
other prajas who reap the fruits of the sensual enjoyments of the
:
world. The inner meaning would mean that despite the
conversational ability, knowledge and right communication style the
aspirant might be deluded as of an silent, inert and inactive as of the
accomplishment of Self Realization.
Neither the shareera belongs to you nor vice versa, neither you are
the Karta-Karma-Kriya but the Inner Consciousness as of the
Paramatma the Supreme Bhokta the eka rasa chetana saakshi and
hence be of the ‘nirapectksha sukha vichaara’.In other words, you are
neither the doer and enjoyer or sufferer within this body but the
mute spectator only of the body as the witness.
Raaga dweshaas are the manasikaka dharmaas but not YOU as the
Antaratma and hence are be purged them off as YOU are immune
from vikalpaas and vikaaraas as of bodhaswarupa and as such of be
of ‘sukha shaanti’.Attachments and abominations are merely the
attributes of mind and indeed the mind is certainly never of YOURS
as YOU are of the Pure Intelligence and of Bliss. Thus YOU as the
aspirant should neither be infatuated nor depressed as doing so the
the body but not YOU. Such narrow interpretation be contrary and
elusive towards Self Realization .
You are indeed That in which the universe manifests itself like the
tarangaas of the samsaara samudra but when one realizes that the
Self is only the abstract substance pervading all over the universe
yet the universe be distinct from YOU. Chitta swarupa, that
‘adhishthaana chaitanya’ be ever flashing all across the ever rising
waves of the samsaara saagara and as such do seek to visualize on
the metal screen the ever Truthful Picture.
Unto You be the ‘maha samsaara samudra’ and let the waves might
rise and fall as per their nature and volition as per the gais and
losses- The Universe as per their seasons of summer-rainy-and
winters and also be fast moving through births-deaths and rebirths
and passage of yugas-kalpaas-and palayaas. Yet that be least
:
affected by the Self beyond time and as per the cause and effect
syndrome. The Self is and surely be ever lasting.
From where would there be one born, the actions, the selfishness ,
egoism and finally the termination be distictive for the Self. As for
births and deaths, the actions there of be beyond the Pure
Intelligence. The Purity would imply the Space of Intelligence, that is
of Chit Akasha which is all pervasive. Ever indeed the Mahaakaasha
be denoted as of the perception of the ordinary aakaaska that might
be perceivable of external objects..Even the secondary type of the
Chid aakaasha be perceivable by imaginational and of swapna
shupna samaadhis even but Pure Consciousness be that kind of
Chitaakaasha of Actual Taadaamya indeed.
