 MESSAGE FROM THE MASTER

“When Reality dawns by flash, all the troubles

vanish. Peace pervades the entire being; it is
very profound; it is Pure Nirvana. Things do
not have value if received freely. That is what
is happening in Sahajamarga Yoga. Master
bestows to all abhyasis freely, without much
difficulty of efforts, which is usually seen in
other systems of yoga disciplines of Pantanjali
yoga variants. In Yoga discipline, Purity will
come only when efforts are made to clean the mind of all negative
tendencies that originate because of “Prarabdha Karma
Sanskaras” released on the continuum of Time-Space-Causation.
There can be two ways of acquiring spirituality. The first method
is to merge, as Layavastha in it; the second method is to negate
oneself totally in it so as to absorb it completely in one-self with all
power of the system. The benefit from both is one and the same in
the end. It is a matter of individual taste and liking. In any case
what matters is the availability and approach to a person as Guru,
who is established in Ultimate Reality, the Parabrahman, well-
versed in theoretical aspects and also established in It by precept,
as practice by himself, capable of guiding others to the sought-
goal.

“Upadeyshyanti Te Gnanam –
Janinah Tatwa Darshinah”

In spirituality, there comes a condition in which one begins to feel

his own weight with confidence. Reality is attained when one gets
across this state. It is essential that the feeling of weight should
come. It comes at each and every stage in some measure or other.
Of course, one should guard by alert leading a simple life
according to Nature‟s way. Layavastha is to become one with
God. Sense of duality disappears in “That” Exalted State of
“Alone-ness”; that is, being within the group of many, do not feel
the “other-ness”; “One-ness in All”. “I”-ness do not come in the
compass of conception; it becomes “Universal” in connotation;
that is it is intuited as „Consciousness‟ per-se, as an indicator of
entire humanity. “No idleness-feeling” while doing nothing;
2|Page
likewise no feeling of working while doing any work. The creeping
sensation on the backbone and its neighboring areas prove that
there are vibrations at that place which creates “awakening”. All
the powers remain hidden in the joints of the backbone. It is also
one of the methods of imparting spiritual knowledge by
transmitting at the joint of backbone. If one wants to transmit to
any “Chakra”, the backbone of that corresponding chakra can be
selected for transmission to make desired effect. The spiritual
journey of that place will begin. Some people feel jerks while in a
lying position. The reason is when there is concentration in the
mind it then happens that the thoughts which are formed by the
people remain floating in the Brahmand; by their touch one feels
a sort of jerk. It also happens that when our thought which has
left us and flown away comes in touch suddenly a sort of jerk is
felt. In such a state it is also felt as if we are stunned and startled.
In such a state, flood of divine light often comes in abundance. In
all these spiritual symptoms, the “Kundalini” is awakened and
starts to manifest in activated phenomenal form. Experience of
overcast of darkness and its clearness in spiritual practice is due
to expansion of spiritual condition making subtle and subtle, the
grossness material there ultimately it disappears, by conversion
into non-material spiritual state.

Swamiji‟s Message on September 22nd 2022

““Samsara Vrukshamagha Bheejamanantha

Karma -
Sakha Satham Karana Pathramananga
Pushpam -
Aroohya Dukha Phalitham Pathatho Dayalo -
Lakshmi Nrsimha Mama Dehi Karavalambam”

3|Page
Meaning: “Oh Lord Lakshmi Nrsimha, I have climbed the tree of
worldly life, Which grew from the seed of great sin, Which has
hundreds of branches of past karmas,
Which has leaves which are parts of my body,
Which has flowers which are the result of desires,
And which has fruits called sorrow,
But I am falling down from it fast and so,
Please give me the protection of your hands.” (Ref: Lakshmi
Nrusimha Karavalamba Stotram)

Swamiji explained that Vedas have prescribed two distinct paths

of knowledge – one is the Karma Kanda comprising of strict
observance of rituals; and the other is Gyana Kanda, the science
of discovering your own true Self.

During Adi Sankara‟s time, Karma Kanda (Purvamimamsa) was

quite prevalent and Buddhism was on the rise. So, Sankara was
tasked by his Guru to spread the tenets of Gyana Kanda
(discovering the true Self) and spiritually re-unify the country.

Sankara started his journey to see a great practitioner of Karma

Kanda, Kumarila Bhattu, in Prayaga to debate with him and win
him over. In those days, people who lost the debate would become
the disciple of the winner. Kumarila Bhattu was committing self-
immolation (burning himself in a huge pyre of rice husk) to purge
his sins. He committed the sin of pretending as an aspiring
Buddhist to learn the doctrines of Buddhism and fulfill his mission
of defeating Buddhism. Sankara suggested that he can help him
purge his sins without self-immolation through the process of Self-
Realization. However, Kumarila Bhattu did not agree to it.

Since he was not in a position to debate, he referred Sankara to

his disciple Mandana Misra who lived in a town called
Mahishmati. When Sankara reached that town, people of that
town asked Sankara to look for the house where parrots would
discuss topics like validity of the Vedas etc. That house should
belong to Mandana Mishra.

Sankara went to see him and debated with him for 6 months.
Mandana Misra starting losing the debate when his wife,
UbhayaBharati, interfered and asked Sankara to debate and win
4|Page
 over her first before he could declare victory. She asked him to
debate with her on marital relationships and obligations. Sankara
was a strict celibate and confessed that he had no knowledge of it.
However, she gave him some time to gain such knowledge and
come back.

Sankara asked his disciples to preserve his body and transported

his soul (Parakaya Pravesha) into a king‟s dead body. He learnt
the art of marital obligations from the king‟s two wives. The king
was originally a dull headed person but turned into a wise and
intellectual one when he came back to life. The wives and the
minister, suspecting that the king‟s body now has a different soul,
ordered the army to search for other dead bodies in the kingdom
and burn them with the intent of retaining the new soul in the
king‟s body permanently.

The army found Sankara‟s body and started burning it. Sankara,
before he left his body, instructed his disciples to come to the
kingdom and warn the king of any such danger using a certain
sign language. The disciples followed his instructions and
Sankara‟s soul returned to his original body. However, the story
goes that one of his hands was already burnt and he had to invoke
Lord Nrusimha by reciting the Karavalamba Stotram and
regained his burnt hand. Sankara returned to
debate with Ubhayabharati and won over her
after which the couple went on to become one
his most important disciples. Mandana Mishra
was later known by the name Sureshwara
Acharya. He was one of the foremost disciples
of Sankara.

Sankara established the following fours Peethams:

Spiritual Essence of Navaratri

October 2nd, 2022 Satsang

““Om Medha Devi Jushamaanaa Na Aagaat Vishwaachi Bhadra

Sumanasyamanaa -
Tvaya Jushtaa Nudamaanaa Duruktaan Brihadvadema Vidade
Suveeraah -
Tvaya Jushta Rishirbhavati Devi Tvaya Brahma Aagatahsri

Tvaya Jushtas Chitram Vindhate Vasusaanno Jushasva

(Ref: Medha Suktam)

Swamiji conveyed his divine blessings to all of you on this

auspicious occasion of Devi Navratris. He said he prayed to the
Master, who is none other than the universal mother himself, to
bestow all the social success and most importantly, the
discrimination between your true Self vs. the false identity of
body-mind-intellect that we are stuck with today. We always have
to go back to the foundational statement that Swamiji makes in
every conversation. He says, “All of us have 2 factors in us. One is
a factor that changes all the time - from your childhood; to your
old age; to death (your body that changes, your mind that evolves
or devolves - changes from birth to death, and your intellect / your
discrimination abilities that change from birth to death) that we
commonly identify with. Swamiji also refers to another important

6|Page
factor within us which is the changeless base upon which the
changes come and go. That changeless base is our true identity;
that is who we are - Parabrahman / Pure Consciousness; which is
the formless, changeless, and pure blissful Self. But why is it that
we have fallen into such a pathetic state of forgetting who we
actually are? If you are unable to identify with your true Self, you
must work on it. For that, we first need to diagnose the problem
and then find a treatment.

It can be noted that in a drama, different characters play different

roles (either positive or negative) but intuitively don‟t forget their
original name and identity. Similarly, although we have different
qualities in us like Tamas, Rajas, and Satva developed as a result
of training our mind over different birth and death cycles, we
have to know intuitively that we are not any of those. Instead, we
have involuntarily inherited / identified with those tendencies. If
you look at each tendency, one of them is Tamas which is
characterized by laziness, inertia, anger - all the negative
tendencies. The second quality is Rajas. It is the egoistic self which
is always wanting to achieve something. The third one is Satva. It
is the noble attitude and a desire to discover God. Swamiji said
that if you carefully observe, Satva is also a form of ignorance.
Why? when you are that true Self yourself, what is there to
discover? What are you trying to achieve? Although Satva guna is
better than Rajas and Tamas, Swamiji confirmed that we need to
go beyond Satva as well. Clearly, each one of us have a
combination of these three qualities. These are nothing but
different layers depriving us from knowing our true Self. The goal
is to first reach a neutral state (go beyond the gunas) where we
just do work for work-sake with a realization that there is nothing
to achieve and nothing to lose.

Navratri festival that is celebrated for 9 days is

designed for a common man to go through three
cycles of three days each where we pray to Kaali,
Lakshmi and Saraswati respectively. These three
Goddess forms are Parabrahman itself devolved
to remove Tamas, Rajas and Satva gunas in us. The first 3 days,
we pray to goddess Kaali (“Kaalaatita Iti Kaali”). Kaali removes
the inertia of Tamas nature. We pray to Kaali Mata to remove
Tamas quality; laziness, inertia, anger, and all the negative
7|Page
tendencies within us to graduate to the next level. The next 3 days,
we pray to goddess Lakshmi (“Lakshyasiddhi Iti Lakshmi”). You
pray to Lakshmi to remove the Rajas quality (the ego) in you.
This helps you reach the goal of removing the ego thereby, going
towards the path of knowing who we are. The final 3 days, we
pray to goddess Saraswati – defined as “Sa Rasena Sarateeva Iti
Saraswati” meaning: that cosmic force which has the power to
know that you are the continuous flow of Pure Consciousness
(beyond the discrete time units of past, present and future); the
power of discrimination to discover who you are. This Navratri
celebration is nothing but a prototype of what you should do in
your life; first remove the inertia / laziness (pray to Goddess
Kaali); then remove the ego (pray to Goddess Lakshmi), so that
you start to embark on a path to discover your own true Self; then
remove the need to discover yourself (pray to Goddess Saraswati)
- realize that you are the true Self itself. The formless universal
Pure Consciousness is what you are. That is the whole concept of
Navratri that Swamiji explained. This is exactly what we are all
doing in our meditation every day.

The sloka that we recited from the Medha Suktam is saying the
same thing. It is defining Medha Devi. The definition of Medha –
“Me Dhaarayiti Iti Medha”. I take upon myself, my Guru, who
has the power to infuse in me the discriminative power of knowing
who the true Self is and removing the false identification with the
body-mind-intellect. Medha Devi Jushamaana Na Aagaat (come)
– you please come upon me oh Parabrahman / oh Guru and bless
me realize that; Vishwachi – I am that all pervasive Universal
Consciousness; Bhadra - I am auspicious. Su Manascha – I am a
person with neutral mind (no positive or negative qualities in me);
Tvaya Jushta – with your blessings; Nudamaanaa Duruktaan –
Nudamana is the one who has a foolish talk; it is saying that I am
this body-mind-intellect, fighting for my existence, my body, my
family, is referred to as foolish talk; Duruktaan – attitude of
hurting others for your survival, can be converted into; Bruhad
Vadena – a person who speaks by remaining as pure
Consciousness; Vidadhe Suviraah – by becoming heroic of boldly
leaving my identification with the body-mind-intellect; Oh Medha
Devi – Oh Parabrahman / Oh Guru, please allow me to become
that heroic Self myself where I can leave the dependency on these
senses and start going inwards. Swamiji says for this to be
8|Page
achieved, meditation is the only way. Because right now, we are all
embarked on the sensory journey to travel outwards (Pravrutti
Marga).

Swamiji says that we need to travel inwards (Nivrutti Marga). For

that, he says meditation is the only way and Pranahuti Meditation
has two parts to it. One is meditation on Point A and the other is
meditation on Point B. Point A is a point in the heart region
symbolically representing the all-pervasive pure Consciousness
(Parabrahman) itself. Point B represents the ignorant self (the
seat of ego). Our idea is to remove the ignorant self and identify
with the true Self. Then the 2nd sloka of the Medha Suktam goes,

“Tvaya Justa Rishir Bhavati Devi Tvaya Brahma Aagata Srir Uta
Tvaya -
Tvaya Justa Chitram Vindhate Vasu Sa No Dravino Na Medhe”

Tvaya Justa Rishirbhavati – by praying to you I will become a

Rishi (knower of Brahman). Tvayaa Brahma – I will feel that I am
that Brahman itself / Pure Consciousness itself. Then what
happens? Aagatah Sri – all the auspiciousness in social and
transactional life will follow automatically; Tvaya Justa Chitram
Vindate Vasu Sa No Dravino Na Medhe – by your blessings, I will
receive the benefits of the variegated universe while recognizing
that it is a delusion of the mind (Maya) and not a fact of reality;
and revel in that Parabrahman state itself at all times, even
though I am actively engaged in the social context of life. Swamiji
says meditation is the only way to reach that state. And when you
do that, all the vagaries of the mind, all the fears, all the
disturbances, all the disparities automatically get removed. You
don‟t have to try for it. Swamiji always refers to the statement,
“Dhyana Yogo Samyakdarshanasya Antharangam” (Gita
Bhaasyam by Adi Shankara) which means, meditation is the only
proximate means to discover your true Self; there is nothing else
equivalent to that; no other short cut to remove all your distress in
life and at the same time identify with your true Self; that Pure
Consciousness itself.

However, there are two conditions: 1) Having complete faith that

this meditation will help me reveal my true Identity 2) Discipline –
doing meditation at the same time and same place. If you do that
9|Page
even for 30 min a day, slowly, you will start to travel inwards. The
Nivrutti Marga slowly starts balancing the three gunas: Satva,
Rajas and Tamas. You will transcend all of that and become that
pure Consciousness, at which time you feel that there is nowhere
to go and nowhere to come; nothing to lose and nothing to gain.
That neutral state is called Bliss / Ananda. That is why, the
scriptures gave the definition of who you are as Sat-Chit- Ananda.
Sat is Pure Existence; Chit is pure Consciousness / pure
Awareness of Sat; and Ananda is that pure Bliss that you
experience when you are in that state. Swamiji says that in our
meditation, there will be a point where you forget that you are
doing meditation; that is when you have experienced that pure
Bliss / that pure Conscious state of who you are.

Please don‟t miss this opportunity. Having a human birth, you are
blessed to have an opportunity to have a Guru like Swamiji who
has bestowed upon us that pure Consciousness through Pranahuti
(reflective thought power of the Guru). Let us take advantage of it
and pray that our path in discovering our true Self is not
disturbed by the social activities of our life.

With Master‟s Blessings,

Ravi”

LETTERS

From: X

Respected Swamiji,

Salutations! After a long time, I wanted to express my thoughts

and put them at your feet.

I am doing meditation regularly. Whenever I see you in the video,

it feels like you are transmitting power through your eyes and
conveying a subtle message. After my last call, I began to read the
book written by Sri Babuji Maharaj. It felt like you are speaking
through the book by sitting in front of me.

10 | P a g e
On a different note, these days, while performing my daily
activities, I feel a certain power in my heart that is universal in
nature (“I”) without my concern. I am identifying with that power
without my knowledge. I feel comfortable associating and reveling
in that silence at all times.

Thank you for your astral guidance and blessings. Please convey
my namaskarams to Mataji!

Always at your feet,

X

QUOTABLE QUOTES
(1) By Audi Guru Sri Lalaji Maharaj (Continued from last month
issue)

“A little far away he spotted an inhabitation.

Perhaps this was the gross form of “Maya”. He
was delighted that he had found a well. A beautiful
young girl was drawing water out of the well to fill
her vessel. Narad was astonished at the beauty of
this girl, who looked like a goddess. He
immediately asked her if she could give him some water to quench
his thirst. The girl was as polite as she was beautiful. She agreed
with great devotion. Narad outwardly was drinking water but his
eyes and mind were set at the blooming youth of the girl, and he
was lost in it. Narad followed the girl to her house, where he saw a
person and asked him whether he was the chief of the house. The
man replied that he was not only the chief of that house but was
the landlord of the whole village and asked Narad-“what is your
purpose, Sir”. Narad, getting reckless out of the attraction of her
youth, immediately said that he wanted to marry his daughter.
The old man too did not take ill of it and thinking that Narad was
an appropriate groom for his only daughter said „why not‟-you
are young and healthy, but there is one condition. After marrying
my daughter you will have to stay in this very house in this village.
Narad, who was deeply attracted towards the girl immediately
agreed. Both of them then were tied in the knot of marriage. After
11 | P a g e
a few days the old man died and Narad had to take charge of all
his responsibilities. He was blessed with four children and thus he
got absorbed in his own world. When he would take one of his
children in his lap, the other would ask him to take him in his lap
and so on.”

(Ref: Autobiography of a Sufi, “Divya Kranti Ki Kahani”

translated by R.K. Gupta Pg. 39 of the digital version)

(2) Mahatma Sri Babuji Maharaj (Continued from last month

issue)

“Moreover, the practice, as generally followed

today, is of no great utility in our spiritual
progress and consequently no substantial gain is
derived therefrom. The chantings of the
Sankirtanists may be compared more
appropriately to the groans of a sick man which
only offer him a temporary consolation but do not actually relieve
him of the pain. So these chantings are of no avail to them except
that they are charmed by the effect of the sweet melody which
helps to draw their thoughts for the time being to the ideal in
view. Now whatever we think or contemplate produces vibrations
within. When these vibrations multiply, they create power which
gushes out with a sound. The vibrations carry with them the effect
of thoughts and feelings of individuals. So the pious effect of the
pure minds in the company is likely to be spoiled by the evil effect
of impious minds. The undesirable element must, therefore, be
kept away if full advantage is to be derived from these
performances.”

(Ref: Reality at Dawn by Shri Ramachandra Pg. 12 of the digital

(3) Letter from Saint Kasturiji

“Dated: 19-3-1958
Lakhimpur

Reverend Shri Babu Ji!

12 | P a g e
Sadar Pranam!

Received your kind letter. I am well. I am now writing about my

spiritual condition, whatever it is, by the grace of the Master.

Now my condition is such that, if I pray to the Master, it is this

only, “Bina bhakti taroa tab taribo tiharo hai”. It means that your
glory lies if you may liberate me without any devotion. You may
liberate me or not, it does not matter to me because I do not
understand what is liberation. Now my prayer to the Master is
also dry and it is simply a request. But there is no prayer or
request in this „request‟. The condition is so simple and natural
that it has become a part of my nature. I am now seeing a strange
thing. I do feel this bliss after the feeling of my condition whatever
it is, even then my senses remain unaffected including my mind
and heart. I do not understand what all this is. Everything
remains the same within and outside me as if nobody has touched
me. There is nothing new and nothing strange as if when I open
my eyes, I find the world unchanged as ever.

The condition is somewhat such as if I have immersed myself in

one complete circle or everything has been compressed within my
fist. I see that although I cannot cross this circle and point, even,
then I am not worried about it rather I am care-free. Master
knows better what He is doing. I have taken my journey in the
whole circle and all its (circle‟s) particles, after becoming light,
have got laya in me but I do not know about my whereabouts.
God knows where the Master has vanished me and He himself has
also disappeared along with me. I remain standing empty-handed
and when I am reminded of the Master, I find myself waiting for
Him. But the truth is that I never remember Him. I fail to serve
my Master now. I do not know what and how to serve my Master.

My condition is somewhat peculiar for the last fifteen or twenty

days that I begin to cry suddenly at night while sleeping as well as
in the day while I am awake. But due to the „kindness‟ of the
Master nobody else in the house has yet been able to hear me
crying otherwise what reason of my crying I would have told them
because I am neither suffering from any pain agony. All the senses
are silent. The heart and mind have both become balanced. I do
not know what has happened to me.
13 | P a g e
 Yesterday, I felt suddenly, a sort of acute vibration in the end of
the toe of my left foot and it was so intense that it seemed that the
very nerve of that whole leg was vibrated. Thereafter a cold
drizzle began to enter into and as well as come out of it. After that
the whole vibration faded out. It seems to me that my toe has been
opened now. God knows what it is.

There is such an activity in me now that I have no control over it

but it seems that I have not the least concern with that activity.

One thing more has happened that; when I want to eat anything
but I give that thing to others for eating, I feel the same sort of
satisfaction as I would have felt by eating the thing myself. Amma
conveys her blessings and Kesar her pranam. Love to younger
brothers and sisters.

Your most humble daughter,

Kasturi”

(4) Mandukya Upanisad with Gaudapada‟s Karika

“Nivruteh Sarva Dukhaanaam Isaanah

Prabhuravyayah -
Advaita Sarva Bhavaanaam Devas Turyo Vibhu
Smrutah”

Meaning: “In that which is indicated as the changeless and the

Supreme Lord, there is total cessation of all miseries. It is the One
without a second among the plurality; it is known as the Turiya,
the ever-Effulgent and All-pervading.”

Explanation: “The author exclaims that variance and change is

the cause of all miseries. With a grace of Self-Realized Guru, one
can attain complete oneness with the Supreme Lord, which is the
changeless, ever-effulgent and all-pervading Self. Such a spiritual
state is referred to as Turiya, and is beyond waking, dream and
sleep states of Consciousness. Since, plurality of life (variance) is a
14 | P a g e
function of waking and dream states, it can be logically concluded
that transcending these states will automatically remove miseries
of life.”

(5) Ashtavakra Gita

“Na Preeyate Vandyamaano Nindyamaano Na

Kupyati -
Naivodvijati Marane Jeevane Naabhinandati”

Meaning: “The liberated man is “Self”-possessed in all

circumstances and free from the idea of “done” and “still to do”.
He is the same wherever he is and without greed. He does not
dwell on what he has done or not done.”

Explanation: “The idea of “done” and “still to do” is a material

concept subject to time and space constraints. Where is the need
for a liberated man who revels in the blissful state of the Self to be
bound by time and space?”

(6) Bhagavatapurana

“Kam Nu Tvad-anyam Ramaye -

Hy arati-jnam Akovidam -
Asamparaayaabhimukham -
Asvastana-vidam Pasum”

15 | P a g e
Meaning: “How can I expect to unite with others, who are not
capable of knowing how to enjoy life while living or after
death? Such foolish persons are like animals because they do
not know the process of sense enjoyment in this life and after
death.”

“(Note: Puranjana represents the Ego Self, the girl (Puranjani)

represents the body-mind-intellect equipment; the story
symbolically represents how the Ego Self, the shadow of pure
Consciousness, identifies itself with the body-mind-intellect
equipment and comes to enjoy or suffer the changes of the
equipment.)”

(7) Yogavasista

“Samsthaapa Sankalpakalankamukttam -
Cittam Tvmaatmanyupasaantakalpah -
Spande Apyasamspandamiveha Tistha -
Svasthah Sukhī Raajyamidam Prasaadhi”

Meaning: “Free your mind from such impure thoughts and

notions. Rest in the self, free from such notions. Though engaged
in diverse activities, remain established in a state of perfect
equilibrium and rule this kingdom in peace and joy.”

Explanation: “Vasista explains that there is no need to run away

from the diversity of life. The bondage does not lie in the action
but in the impure thoughts and notions. He suggests that the key
to attaining peace and joy while ruling the kingdom lies in keeping
the mind free from the notions of “I” and “Mine” leading to a
state of perfect equilibrium.”

(8) Book of Knowledge Divine (Dr. Satyanarayana Chillapa)

Part I:

“After death, the individual soul is guided to leave

the body in the form of astral body (Sukshma
Sareera) by the motive force of “Udana Vayu”,
one of the five branches of main vital force
(Mukhya Prana). Depending upon the earned merit of actions
(Punya Karma), it may leave, by top of the head (Sahasrara), eyes,
mouth or anal orifice. Those who go by the crown of the head are
meritorious souls, while sinners exit by lower route. It may be
understood here, that in philosophic sense, sin (Papa) refers to
gross materialistic self-oriented tendencies and actions. Some
Yogis and Saints adept in Yoga and astro-psych techniques
volitionally at a specified time and space, command the Udana-
Prana (Vital force) to lift the astral body passing through
“Sushumna Nadi” (Astral tube) of “Ula” that hangs as a nipple
from the hard palate of the mouth, towards the crown of the head
(T.Up.6) and exit the body from there, taking the path of
Devayana (Path of Gods). Obviously, such a Saint-Yogi is already
established in Supra-corporeal State of Consciousness and an
expert in the knowledge of astro-psych mechanism of human
personality structure.”

 “When one perceives nothing

other than the Base - Pure Consciousness
(Kutastha Chaitanya), he realizes that he has
become the unattached Pure Consciousness per-
se (Asangha Chitroopa)” – Aphorism 16.

 “Pure Intelligence or Enlightenment or Effulgence or

Spiritual Awakening is a state of object-less pure Consciousness.”
– Aphorism 17.

 “The Threefold (Satva, Rajas, Tamas) Nature (Prakriti),

with its power of illusion (Maya) appears to devolve the Absolute
Self into the Ego Self / Reflected Self (Chidabhasa), thus
apparently creating the objective universe” – Aphorism 18.

Everybody says “Atman…Atman” but what exactly is this

Atman? Mandukya upanishad has provided a clear definition.

“Naantah-prajnam Na Bahir Prajnam Nobhayatah -

Prajnam Na Prajnaana-ghanam Na Prajnam -
Na Aprajnam -
Adrishtam Avyavahaarayam Agraahyam Alakshanam -
Achintyam Avyapadeshyam -
Ekaatma Pratyaya-saram Praapanchopasamam -
Shaantam Shivam Advaitam Chaturdham Manyante Sa -
Aatmaa Sa Vijneyah”

When the whole society at once percieves the same something that
doesn‟t actually exist but appears to be real, that effect is called
Maaya. Whereas this phenomenon at an individual level is called
18 | P a g e
Bhrama. This is the difference between Maaya and Bhrama. Lord
Vishnu is the lord of this Maaya. Parabrahman, devolved down to
perform the function of creating a delusion (Maaya or Bhrama) is
called Vishnu.

Like I explained it earlier, during my childhood days, a small time

magician used to walk around the village seeking money for the
show his magic by turning sea shells into small sikhas (currency of
those days). I asked him why he would ask for money when he can
create it himself. He explained that this is an magical art form
called Kanikattu, a power of decieving your vision and not a fact
of reality. If a small time magician has so much of power to make
you believe in unreality, just imagine the power of Maha Vishnu
who can create the delusional effect by which the non-existent
creation appears to be real and permanent.

Parabrahman, with the functional role of dissolving this Maaya is

called Shiva. Scriptures say Shiva is Moksha Kaaraka – cosmic
force that can liberate you from Maaya. That is why.
symbolically, Vishnu temples offer laddu prasadam and Shiva
temples offer Vibhuti (ashes) even today. Ultimately, it is all pure
Consciousness, Aatman / Parabrahman, itself. Everything else is
Maaya.
