Om Namasivaya Nama:

Moksho-paya: (What is Liberation and how to achieve)

After hearing so much about Self and Non Self, the seeker (Sishya) post a humble question to his Master. Next 2 slokas are about his question for clarification.

Sloka: 192

Sishya Uvacha (The Disciple asked!)

How can you say the beginning less can have an end since the Supreme Self has come to consider as the Jeeva (Life) since both have no beginning nor end in other words the Jeeva-hood of the Self must not have an end too. Therefore where is the question of liberation for Self? Please clarify.

Sloka 193:

Therefore, there is no end for the Supreme-self that reflect as Jeeva-hood (Jeeva Bhavathwam) at the same time no end for the transmigration of the Jeeva too. If this is true, then where is the question of liberation for whom?

Realization of Self: (Self Knowledge gives Liberation:)

Guru Uvacha (Guru Said)

Sloka 194:

O learned one, listen to me carefully and i will remove the confusion within you. Delusion cannot be accepted as facts, therefore once delusion disappears the reality will be understood. Supreme Self never had the Jeeva-hood, because everything Supreme Self itself. Due to the delusory misconception, imaginations were created by individual and got in to the net of confusion.

VIVEKACHUDAMANI TAMIL DISCOURSE : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 188 to 189 - MAY 08-2015

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Sloka 188:

Identifying with the attributes of the order of life, duties and functions that actually belongs to the body but it considers them as its own,  Even though Vignaanamaya Kosa is extremely radiant due to its nearness to Supreme (Paramathma) Self, when it identifies with it suffers transmigration through delusion and no escape from the birth cycle. Therefore it looses the status to be a Self/Athma.

Self Unattached (Athma Asangaadh)

Sloka 189:

The Self is nothing but knowledge absolute, shines within in the Pranaas in heart as Koodathan (Immutable)  and it become the doer and experiencer! because of its superimposition on Vignaanamaya Kosa (intellectual sheath).

All ups and downs, birth and death are due to these vasanas enjoyed through this intellectual sheath.

Nice Story with good philosopy

Dear Friends

Today, i received an email narrating this good morale story. I thought sharing this story will generate brother/sister hood among us. Kindly note i am not the author of this story therefore i the full credit goes to the real author. Thanks for reading. Email dated 05-1-2015.

In an ancient temple, a number of pigeons lived happily on roof top. When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple feast the pigeons relocated themselves to a Church nearby. The existing pigeons in the Church accommodated the new comers very well.

Christmas was nearing and the Church was given a face lift. All the pigeons had to move out and look for another place.

 

They were fortunate to find a place in a Mosque nearby. The pigeons in the Mosque welcomed them happily. It was Ramadan time and the Mosque was repainted. All the pigeons now came to the same ancient temple.

One day the pigeons on top found some communal clashes below in a market square. The baby pigeon asked the mother pigeon "Who are these people ".

The mother replied; they are "Human beings". The baby asked, "but why are they fighting with each other". The mother said "These human beings going to temple are called 'Hindus' and the people going to Church are called 'Christians' and the people going to Mosque are called 'Muslims'.

The Baby pigeon asked, "why is it so? Look, when we were in the Temple we were called Pigeons, when we were in the church we were called Pigeons and when we were in the Mosque, we were called Pigeons. Similarly they should be called just 'Human beings' wherever they go".

The mother Pigeon said, 'You and me and our Pigeon friends have experienced God and that's why we are living here in a highly elevated place peacefully. These people are yet to experience God. Hence they are living below us and fighting and killing each other".

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Sloka 136:

Self and Mind Control to realize Paramathma Chaithanyam:

With a regulated mind and a purified intellect (Budhi), one should realize the Self while in this body (before death of the body). Acharya says, one should identify yourself with it because That is what you are!. This will help you in crossing the shore-less ocean of birth and death cycle (Samsara). Such birth and deaths are considered as waves of the ocean. Be blessed by getting established firmly with Brahman because that is what your own essence. Controlled mind means purified intellects (Sudha Sathwam, not general Sathwa). As we know the quadruple principle viz Mana, Budhi, Ahankara and Chitham supplement each other to function day to day life, in reality they are one and the same.  One can control or regulate the mind by doing Upasana and Meditation. First to start with Upasana and then practice Meditation is the easy way of establish knowledge of Brahman.
