VIVEKA CHOODAMANI : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 32 : DEC 28-2013

Om Namasivaya nama:

After achieving all prescribed qualifications, especially understanding the reality of Bakthi, the seeker should consider a Pragnana Guru.

A constant en-query in to the real nature of one's own self is called Bakthi according to learned ones, in other words deep rooted love towards Athma; such seeker should serve a good teacher (Guru) to attain Moksha that is nothing but comes out of birth and death cycle known as samsara wheel.

Calmness and other good practices will definitely bear the fruits only to the person who has intense design for liberation.

Those who don't have the desire for liberation and virakthi it make no sense to simply follow something or the other such as weak determination for not achieving goal.

VIVEKA CHOODAMANI : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 26 AND 27: DEC 06-2013

Om Namasivaya nama:

Sri Adi Sankara said: Samaadhana (Tranquillity) it is a condition whereby the mind is constantly engaged in the total contemplation of the Supreme Reality; and it is not gained through any amount of intellectual oscillation. Self commitment to stay in Reality which none other than Brahman. In other words Ekagratha of Mind in the absolute brahman.

Mumukshuthwa is the highest burning desire to release onself; from the Samsara, by realizing the Real nature of One's Self. This realization is from all bondages from Egoism to the Body. These are created by the ignorance (agnaanam). In sequence it start from Ahamkara-Anandamaya kosa-vignaanamaya kosan-manomayakosam-pranamayakosam-annamayakosam. The Real (life or jeeva or aathma) is residing inside this couch.

VIVEKA CHOODAMANI : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 24 AND 25 : NOV 29-2013

Om Namasivaya nama:

Dear Listeners,
Please have some patience while listening to today's recording as I had encountered some issues while recording.

Today Sri Adi Sankara explained Sradha and Samaadhanam among the Shatka Sampathi. One should have full faith in Sasasthraas and Guru vachanam only by doing self inquiry and conviction. One should always collect all good knowledge from these sources then realize the truth in it through your own analysis with the help of brain (budhi). When you get convinced about the truth, such truth is called Sradha.

Whatever knowledge and discipline we acquired and understood, one must realize the truth and always stick the mind in that absolute truth in other words keep the mind always in ever lasting and undestroyable Brahman.
