Bhagavan Manu says “ The highest of the
knowledge is the awareness of the all-pervasive Bhramam resides as soul, it has
neither birth nor death, it is free from afflictions, and impurities, it is
unblemished and pure, hence the Athmajjana is the superior knowledge. The
knowledge of the Bhramam is superior among Sakalavidhya as well, the Athmajjana
provides the immortality/Amrithaththva, the Jeeva crosses the unfathomable
ocean of worldly existence with the knowledge of ‘self’/Athman, get relieved
from interests in worldly matters and bondage, and fear of Mrithyu as well, it
is the Janmasaphalya/fruitfulness of life of the twice-born, without this knowledge a Jeeva does not
achieve the status of a twice-born, none of the Karma or Gnana would provide
the Bhramanathvam other than the Athmajjana/oneness-in-All, it is the only
source for the Paramapurusharththa Prapthi. Therefore the Jeeva should
understand that the supreme Bhramam, that Paramathma Parambhramam resides as the soul is eternal bliss. The Shruthi affirms “The fearless and courageous
Bhramin/twice-born should constantly strive to achieve that Paramathma
Parambhramam resides as a soul in Jeeva, the study and research/ Anusandhana of
various texts and syllables would create false perceptions. The ‘Athman’ has no
duality, it is supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in Jeeva, it is eternal. If the
Jeeva understood the supreme knowledge of that Bhramam, there is nothing left
to learn or understand.”
Bhagavan Vasudeva speaks “The illusion
causes desire, emotions, passions, interest in worldly matters, richness,
money, wealth, fame, and attachment to people and these have fleeting nature.
Therefore retrieve the Indhriyas/sense from the momentary happiness and
pleasures, and invest the mind and intellect in the absolute bliss who resides
as soul/ Paramathma Paramhramam.” It is considered as the essence of all the
scriptures and Veda/ Sarvashasthrasangraham.
