VIVEKACHUDAMANI TAMIL DISCOURSE : CHAPTER 1 : SLOKA 56 : FEB 28-2014
Om Namasivaya nama:
ATHMA GNANA MAHATHWAM / KNOWLEDGE OF THE SELF AND ITS BUEATY:
Sloka 56:
Neither by Yoga nor Sankhya, nor by Ritual nor by Learning is liberation possible. Acharya says Only by the realization of the one's Self identity with Brahman liberation is possible. not by any other means. Whatever we do, at the end of the day, our goal should be "i must realize brahman for which i need to put forward efforts and achieve the goal" should be the slogan in life.
Acharya specifically pointing out here that Yoga mean Hatha Yoga although all Yoga will lead to the same goal through different approach. In Indian philosophy we have 6 main school of thought which was dated back to 6000+ years and later 3 philosophies (Darsanas) were added by the modern generation having an age of around 2000 years old. They are:
1. Yoga (By Pathanjali Maharshi - Ashtanga Yoga Soothram. Basically practical methods for direct experience of the eternal center of consciousness.
2. Sankhya (by Sage Kapila Maharshi - basically Gnana Yogam). Framework of all types of manifestation / Revealing Prakruthi and Purusha conjoined with 23 elements. From smallest to biggest manifestations.
3. Vedantha (revealed mainly through Upanishads) They say more 1008+ upanishads were existed then later shrink to 108 and now confined to mainly 10 commentated by Sri Adhi Sankaracharyar. This is also known as Uthara Meemasa. Contemplative methods of self inquiry.
4. Vaiseshikam (By Sage Prasashtapaada) - Physical sciences especially Chemistry, exploring Pancha Bhoothas, time, mind and soul etc.
5. Nyaya (By Sage Gautama) - exploring everything through Logic/Reasoning.
6. Mimaamsa : (By Sage Jaimini) - Free through action. It tackle ritual, worship and ethical conduct etc,
7. Buadha (By Sage Budha) -
8. Jaina (By Sage Mahavir)
9. Charvaka (By Sage Charvaka) - An atheist approach!
Indian philosophers tried to realize Brahman through these practices then later shared with everyone through their disciples.

Om Namasivaya nama:
Sloka: 36
The seeker humbly submit his supplication to his Guru that, i am being roasted in the blazing fire of Samsara (again and again born and dead), on top of that to add the flame my bad karma comes as wind to increase the flame! due to which i am very much scared of this life. Therefore please help me to over the fear of death and save me. When i surrendered to you, i am sure you will receive me due to your compassionate nature. Oh Guru i have no one other than you to surrender.
Athma Gnanam gets polluted due to Agjaana and eventually meet its death therefore Agnaana itself is death. As a realized soul you alone can give absolute Gnanam to me and remove all illusion around me.
Sloka: 37
There are peaceful and magnanimous saints who live like/cherish like spring season for the benefit of humanity and to their credit they have already achieved the task of crossing the Samsara chakra (Wheel) because of this reason they also help others to cross the dreadful samsara chakra, keeping this in mind i am requesting you to shower your blessings on me.

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.

Om Namasivaya nama:
Today Bhagawathpadar explains further as how a seer should lead his life, so that he could be a most competent Vedanthi.
The Seer should have keen memory with enough knowledge of the world outside and inside too. Who should be able to handle the questions raised out of mind on account of scriptures. With these qualities he can be eligible for Aathma vidhya.
Unless you have the qualities of discrimination, detachment, calmness and burning desire for liberation, one cannot realize the supreme reality.

Om Namasivaya nama:
Today we discussed Adhikari Niroopanam: Bagavath Padar says, ultimate success in spiritual en-devours depends upon the degree of fundamental qualifications in the Seeker. Time and place is not everything it is only secondary support for the seeker to attain spiritual success. The seeker's fundamental duty is to search for the right Guru and seek his instruction and follow.
Therefore, a true seeker of the self should learn to inquire and meditate after duly approaching a Guru who is already experienced the self. Such Guru should be an ocean of kindness and compassionate towards all his disciple irrespective of their caste and creed or class.
