Chapter -20 – Jeevanmukthi
King Janaka speaks “Oh! Guruo, I am that
supreme Bhramam and I have understood
the splendor of the all-pervasive Bhramam which is beyond appearances,
Prakrithi, body, Indhriya, mind and intellect, Shoonya/emptiness, free from
desires. Oh! Guro, I am that supreme Bhramam which is beyond Dhvandha/duality,
Shastra, Athmajjyanam, and contentment, free from worldly matters and bondage
and Thrishna. Oh! Guro, I am that supreme Bhramam which is free from Vidhya/knowledge,
Avidya/ignorance, ‘I’ consciousness, body consciousness, Bandham/bondage and
Moksham/liberation. The supreme Bhramam is beyond description, that has no
appearance or specific forms, free from all those I have mentioned above. Oh!
Guro, the supreme Bhramam is beyond description, it is free from
Prarabdhakarma, Jeevanmukthi, and Vidhehakaivalyam/union with the Bhramam. Oh! Guro, the supreme Bhramam which is free
from attributes, is beyond Kartha/doer, Bhoktha/consumer, free from the absence of
thoughts or thoughts, Aparokshanubhoothi, and Vishayajjyana. Oh! Guro, the supreme Bhramam which is
Adhyava/non-dual is beyond Loka, Mumukshu, Yogi, Jjyani, Bandha, and Muktha.
Oh! Guro, the supreme Bhramam which is Adhvaya, is beyond Shrishti/creation,
Samhara/destruction, Sadhya/aim/feasible, Sadhana/instrument, Sadhaka, and
Siddhi. Oh! Guro, the supreme Bhramam is pure, it is beyond Pramatha/knower,
Pramana/instrument to know, Prameyam/the fact to know, Prama/knowledge, and
hence the supreme Bhramam is beyond existence or non-existence. Oh! Guro, the
supreme Bhramam is Nishkriya/free from Kriya and it is beyond Vikshepam/lack of
attention, Ekagratha/, ignorance, dullness/foolishness, Harsha/happiness, and
Vishadha/grief. Oh! Guro, the supreme Bhramam is free from thoughts, is beyond
Vyavaharika/Practical, Paramarththika/spiritual, Sukha/happiness, and Dhukha/grief.
Oh! Guro, my mind and intellect is already merged in the supreme Bhramam is pure;
it is beyond Maya/illusion, Samsara/worldly existence, Preethi/contentment,
Virakthi/abandonment, and Jeeva. Oh!
Guro, the supreme Bhramam is serene, Kootastha/resides as a soul in living
beings, indivisible, and changeless. Hence, the supreme Bhramam is beyond
Pravriththi/activities in the worldly affairs, Nivriththi/spiritual practices,
Mukthi, Bandhanam. Oh! Guro, I am the part of that supreme Bhramam which has no
body-consciousness, free from afflictions; it is the essence of auspiciousness.
Hence, it is beyond Upadhesha, Shasthram, Shishya, Guru, and Purusharththam. Oh! Guro, Jjyani does not feel the presence
or absence of anything is beyond Dhvaitha and Adhvaitha.”
