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.

Sloka 131:
Know that, this great truth is the inner most Self / Athma. It is known as ancient Purusha who is revealed as constant infinite Bless which is the ever the same irrespective of time and place. It dwells in the subtle body at the same time ever pervading. It constantly get reflected / influenced in different stages of mental modifications and actions. This is the power which commands all Indriyas, Karanas and Pranaas to do their duty / functions without any personal effects on it.
Sloka 132:
Such a Supreme Self residing in this very body in a mind full of Satwa Guna; even though it exists every where but to name specifically it is shining in the secret cave/chamber (Hrudayakasa) of intellects such place is known as "Atmosphere of the Un-manifest". It has the captivating glory and shines like the Sun in the sky to illuminate entire universe. So with the help of Pure and Quite Mind one can search that Paramathma Chaithanyam within us!
Sloka 133:
The Self does not change nor act in the least irrespective of situations that is the beauty of the Self. The knower of the modifications of mind, ego and activities of body, sense organs and the Pranaas which apparently take their form like the fire ball of Iron changing its shape according due to heat. The fire has no shape but it appears as if it has. Another example Sun light has no shape but it appears to be having shape due to the device passing sun light through it. Therefore, the Consciousness illuminates the experiences of the mind but it is not involved in anything, it may appears to be involved, that is sheer ignorance as said by Acharya.
Sloka 134:
Such Athma, neither it is born nor does it dies, neither grow nor decay being eternal it does not undergo any change, Even when this body is destroyed it does not cease to exits. It is like the Space in the Jar that is broken. It is independent of the Jar. Space was existent whether there was a Jar or not however the shape of space was witnessed when the Jar was existent. The Self does not perish even if the body gets destroyed.''
Sloka 135:
Please note that the The Supreme Self is different from the Prakruthi and its modifications. Consciousness is the illuminator of all what we can see in the form of Gross or Subtle this universe.It is absolute and directly manifest the entire gross and subtle universe as the very essence of this steady sense of egoism. It manifest itself as the witness of Intellect, the determining faculty of human. Therefore this Paramathma / Consciousness always express itself as I, I, I but never get involved in the happenings around.

Om Namasivaya Nama:
Sloka 122:
Not-Self / Anaathma - Description:
Basically everything that constitute in this universe is Anaathma / Not-Self. Namely, The body, sense organs, Prana (Life energy), mind and ego and its modifications/changes etc,,Sense objects and organs and its pleasures etc.., the gross elements such as Pancha Boothas (ether, air, fire, water & earth), and the whole universe upto the Un-manifest, these constitute the Not-Self (Anaathma). In other words everything what we see and touch are Anathma
Sloka 123:
Everything is due to the effect of Maya (Avidya/Ignorance), from Mahat down to the gross body. Please note these as well the Maya itself not Self therefore these are un-real just like the mirage-water in the desert. We simply imagine due to illusion without the absolute understanding of real and truth. Therefore to know the Reality one must reject all un-real in other words Anaathman (Not-Self).
Sloka 124:
The Self (Athman) and its Nature:
Now Acharya says, i will tell you the Athman (The Supreme Self), knowing this. man will be freed from the bondage or life cycles (personality) created by his own un-intelligent ideas and attain liberation (Kaivalya Mukthi - Un-afflicted witness-er / motionless observer) for ever.
Sloka 125:
I, is the changeless common factor or consciousness as Individuality in us. This I is everywhere mainly the three states of consciousness such as waking, dream and deep sleep and also beyond the control of subtle 5 sheaths (Kosas - Annamaya/Food, Pranamaya/Vital-Air, Manomaya/Mind, Vignaanamaya/Intellectual and Anandamaya/Bliss). I is the one which is experiencing everything whichever stage the body is.Something that exists in the name of "Absolute Entity" The reason for the existence of eternal substratum is for the very awareness of the Ego, It is the witness of three states and it is distinct from the 5 Sheaths. However, these 3 states and 5 sheaths too are blocking or hindering us from realizing that Chaithanyam (Supreme Self).

Any one who practice these qualities being possessed with better Sathwa than the normal person who is maximum afflicted with Rajas and Thamas.

VIVEKACHUDAMANI TAMIL DISCOURSE : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 114 TO 116 : OCT 31-2014
Om Namasivaya nama:
Thamo Guna Continued....
Sloka 114:
Even the wise and learned, proficient in the vision of the highest subtle meaning of the scriptures are over powered by the Thamo Guna/Effects and difficult comprehend the truth, even though it is explicitly explained in detail. Even such learned one will be trapped due to its veil power (Avarana Sakthi) and consider as truth what is simply superimposed by delusion and get into the attachment issues and get stuck. This is the super power of the Thamas (veil). Therefore, even after possessing all superior achievements in life it is difficult to over the Thamo Guna, may be, if one possess the highest level of "Discrimination" power can make some change to it, whereas others don't even go near to free themselves from this Avarana Sakthi.
Sloka 115:
Thamo power is connecting with us through these four important strings/actions viz; Abavana, Vipareetha-Bhavana, Asambavana and Viprathipathi. The effects of them are : Absence of right judgement (Abaavana), Contrary judgement (Vipareetha Bhavana), Lack of belief (Asambavana) and Doubts (Viprathipathi). It is very difficult for any one to conquer the effects of these and come out clean. These effects follow through Vikhepasathi of Rajoguna to Avarana sakthi of Thamo Guna and control the entire universe and its living beings. This gives endless pain and sorrows to the body and life whereas realization of Athma or its vichara (seeking) alone gives nithya ananda (ever blissfulness).
Sloka 116:
In this sloka, Acharya gives the 6 attributes of Thamo Guna viz: Agnaanam (Ignorance), Aalasyam (Laziness), Jadathwam (Dullness), Nidra (Sleep), Pramadham (Inadvertance/Carelessness), Moodathwam (Foolishness/Stupidity etc). One is in the influence of these cannot comprehend anything not only that one remains like asleep always or block of stone or stump of wood or like an Idol. So, those who posses these qualities are under the influence of Thamo Guna. Be careful and make efforts to over come these even though it is very difficult.

Om Namasivaya nama:
Title : Thamo Guna Nature and Effects (Lethargic stage)
Sloka 113
The Veiling power (Avruthi or Avarana) is the greatest string of Thamo Guna, which is nothing but make things appear to be other than what it actually are; a kind of illusionary projection in one's own mind. It creates repeated transmigration and initiate the action of the projecting power known as Vikshepa sakthi. Rajas will grow and take the position Thamas in other words Rajas will create agitation in mind and Thamas will veil the reality these are the two important plays of Maya (Rajas-Vikshepa/Projecting and Thamas-Avarana/Veil). Therefore the student of Vedantha must understand the power of these Gunas and apply discrimination accordingly to over come Gunas (Qualities).

Om Namasivaya nama:
MAYA / AVIDHYA (Delusion, Ignorance, Casual body etc) - Revealed
Sloka 108:
Nescience (Avidhya or Maya) is Maya and it is the "Un-manifested Gross Energy" in other words the secret power of God. It is without beginning and consists of three Gunas (Qualities) and also superior to its effects too (Gunaa-thee-tha). It can be known or understand by only an intelligent with absolute discrimination power. The effect of this Maya is the projection of universe. You can also call it that i has everything in it at the same time nothingness. It is neither a form nor formless. This Omnipotent is also known as Parameswara who dwell in it. In total, It exercise its duty through three forces such as Jnaana sakthi (Power to Discriminate), Icha sakthi (Power to Desire) and Kriya sakthi (Power to Strive). Maya is nothing but Brahman or God.
Sloka 109:
It is neither existent nor non existent; nor both. Neither same or different nor both; Neither made up of parts (angas) nor whole or both; Most wonderful it is and it is beyond description and words. The best way to describe is that is is non describable by words or imaginations! (Anirvachaneeya!) It is WOW (wonders of wonder). Even with all limitations of human brain it can be realized through absolute discrimination but can;t be explained in any manner, therefore it is there as well here. In other words it is every where like within us. God created this universe and its activities through this Maya Sakthi.

Om Namasivaya nama:
Sloka 103:
The Ego - Ahamkara
Actually reflection of the Atman on the sense organs is what expressing everything in us. It is known as "Aabhasa-Thejas",. When this Aabhasa-Thejas reflected through the Antha-Karanas (Viz Mana, Budhi, Ahamkara & Chitham) it is known as Jeeva / Life Energy (Absolute conscious). Therefore, with the presence of Jeeva, all those Antha Karanas becoming active and doing its functions by taking the pride of I and ME through Pancha Karmendriyas and Gjaanendriyas and its subtle functions such as sound, touch, see, taste and smell, and we say I am seeing, I am enjoying, I am touching etc.. this means the Ego who is responding through devises (Upadhi).
Sloka 104:
Know that it is the Ego that identifying with the body and becomes the doer and experiencer. The same Ego is experiencing the three Avasthas such as Jagrath (Active), Swapna (Dream) & Sushupthi (Deep sleep). When Rajo guna is active, at the time, Ego enjoys Waking stage, during Sathwa, dream stage and while Thamo guna it enjoys deep sleep stage. Therefore, without Ego nothing exists nor you can identify something happening.
Sloka 105:
When the sense objects are contributing favorable situations we are happy and non favorable situation lead to unhappy and sorrowful. Happiness and miseries are the Dharma of Ego and do not belong to the Atman which is always blissful and never attached to anything. Ever living happiness to be enjoyed only by realizing Atma and its un-attached existence.

Om Namasivaya nama:
Sloka 100
Please note subtle body is the instrument for doing all activities of Atma which is knowledge absolute (pure Gjnaana /consciousnesses). Like a carpenter use instruments to complete his job the Atma uses subtle body to complete its vaasana related karma and completely un-attached to all activities. For example if any damage happens to the instruments of carpenter, the carpenter himself does not get damaged because the damage happened to the instruments at the same time without those he can;t complete his work! like wise Atman and its subtle body work together however un-attached.
Sloka 101
Another set of explanation to differentiate subtle body and limbs of the gross body. Example Blindness, weakness, keenness are the conditions of the eyes. Like wise, deafness, dumbness, hearing well are the duties of the ears. The gross imperfection of the organs belongs to the respective parts of the gross body and it will not any manner effect the Atma, which is absolute consciousness in its nature.
Sloka 102
FUNCTIONS OF PRANA (Manifested Life Energy) - The bridge between Subtle body and Paramatma.
According to the advise of Mahathmas 7 important functions are allocated to Praana, (Psychological activities such as - inhalation & exhalation, yawning, sneezing, sweating / secretion and belching). (Functional activities such as - hunger and thirst) are the most important 7 functions / Dharmas of Praana. Since Atma is changeless awareness non of these function would affect Atma. Therefore, all functions are helping the gross body as well as subtle body only whereas any damage to any of those limbs or function would not effect absolute Atma.

Listen carefully! This subtle body is also called Linga Sariram. This Sarira is made out of subtle elements of possessed out of inclinations (Vaasanaas) and it causes the individual body to experience the fruits of past deeds / actions (Fruits of Karma). It is the state of beginningless state on the Self due to its on ignorance (Agnaana). In other words there is no beginning nor end to this Self because time does not exists at the time of its beginning.
Sloka 98 & 99:
Further to the Gross body explanation (where this can be realized while on Awaken state / Jagradavastha) now Acharya explain the state of Subtle Body (Sookshma Sariram). Easy way to see the subtle body is during the Swapna (Dream state) avastha, it will be distinctively expressed in its own. Intellectual (Budhi of Anktakarana) is the agent for these experiences gathered during waking state. In this condition / situation the Supreme Self witness the happening and shine its own glory as unattached to the experience undergone by intellectual. Since it is un-attached it is not getting tamed by any action that it apparent conditioning may perform. The Paramatman is absolutely unattached and only witness as onlooker neither it get involved in joy nor sad. The link for Atma to the Jeeva which lives inside the body (actually body lives in Atma..just like a tree live inside the small seed, may be in real life difficult to believe) is through its Intellectual.
