VIVEKACHUDAMANI TAMIL DISCOURSE : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 87 & 88 JUL 18-2014

Om Namasivaya nama:

Gross Body Explained as condemned :

Sloka 87:

The constitution of our physical body is considered to be the most offensive due to its composition made out of Skin, Flesh, Blood vessels, Fat, Marrow, Bones (7 ingredients / Saptha Dhathu) and also it is ever filled with Urine and other discharged matter. Therefore don't be too much proud of your body to exploit by seeking worldly pleasure. This body is mainly meant for realizing the Athman than pleasure seeking activities.

Sloka 88:

This physical body is the seat of experience for the Self / Athma rather than anything else. Please note the this body is made up of gross 5 elements and its subtle elements based  to the result of past Karma (actions of good and bad)  to conduct day to day affairs purely to gain right experience to realize Brahman. The state in which it perceives gross objects is its waking condition (Jagrada-avastha. The next stages are Swapna-avastha, Sushupta-avastha, Thurya-avasatha beyond which Thurya-theetha-avastha). Past actions are the reason for this birth, such Karma is known as Sanchitha & Prarabdha.

VIVEKACHUDAMANI TAMIL DISCOURSE : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 83,84,85 & 86 JUL 11-2014

Om Namasivaya nama:

Today is the first anniversary day of Viveka Choodamani discourse! to coincide with Vyasa Poornima.

Fascination for human body being criticized in this sub-chapter:

Sloka 83:
God has given this body to realize Him (Paramatma), instead of doing that if one keep nourishing the body for the sake of accomplishing material comfort and pleasures will never get a chance to realize God. Besides, that ignorance will keep increasing and eventually dooms his own life. Nobody will come to rescue once you fall into the web of false pride that I and Mine. Many other religion and beliefs promoting that the body itself is everything and nothing beyond that...this is where Sanathana Dharma reminds human beings that something beyond our naked eye.

Sloka 84:
Whoever is making an attempt to realize the Self by not sacrificing the pleasure and comfort will not attain the ultimate realization, in fact it is being compared to just like a person decides to cross the river, by holding the shark/crocodile which one has mistaken for a log of wood. Eventually he will be killed on the way because these sharks the by product of our ignorance and illusions.

Sloka 85:
For a student seeking liberation, infatuation with the body is the main tragic death (Maha Mruthyu). Those who totally conquered this attachment deserves the state of liberation. These Maha Mruthyus are in and around us in the name of Vasanas and some of our accumulations. They are mainly known as Six in numbers. Own Body, Spouse, Children, House, Family and Wealth. One of this would kill a person if too much bonding or attachment is kept with any one of them. So, be careful and use your vivekam to handle these comforts.

Sloka 86:
Conquering these infatuations for body, childre etc i.e Maha Mruthyus, the Muni/Maharsthis attained the Supreme state of Lord Vishnu. In other words one can become God himself by practicing virtues (Godliness) and get rid of vicious help to achieve Godly-hood. The one who control the mind and over come desires and meditate are called Muni/Rishi.

VIVEKACHUDAMANI TAMIL DISCOURSE : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 80, 81 & 82 JUL 04-2014

Om Namasivaya nama:

Sloka 80

The one who has destroyed the shark of Sense Objects with the sword of mature and discrimination alone crosses the ocean of change (Samsara) without any hindrance. Many others do not cross the Samsara due to false discrimination / vairaghyam. Where Viveka is steady and firm there desires can't attack and succeed.

Sloka 81

Mortality will over take the person who is succumbed to desires and sense objects i.e. Yama Dhama follow him/her.Whereas the one stick to the path of Divinity, listening to well wishers, noble Gurus constantly walk the path of divine (Dharma) and helped by his own reasoning faculty (self inquiry) will eventually meet the end i.e. Moksha. My dear disciple, please listen to this carefully that this is the truth.
Sloka 82

If you have indeed a craving for Liberation (Mokha), avoid sense objects from distance, just as you avoid things known as poison and with most respect, cultivate six important virtues (Amrutham) viz:  Contentment, Forgiveness, Patience, Straightforwardness, Calmness and Self Control from sense objects so that achieving Mukthi will be an easy task.
