Sri Sanath Sujatheeyam – Sri Mahabharath
– Sri Shankarabhashyam
Chapter – 2 – Bhashyam - 1 - Introduction
I shall prostrate before Lord Vishnu who
symbolizes supreme bliss. I shall prostrate before that supreme Bhramam resides
as soul, has enormous brilliance, and is the source of the functioning of the mind,
intellect, Ahamkara, Prana Gnana, and Karmendhriya in the Jeeva. I shall
prostrate before the supreme preceptor who imparts the knowledge of
all-pervasive Bhramam.
The Athman is Chithananda Swaroopa, it is
Adhvatheya/has no duality, and the Athman is supreme Bhramam resides as the soul is
pure and free from impurities. The Jeeva
soaked in the powerful Maya of that Bhramam due to utter ignorance, considers
all that seen and heard as real, forgetting the real nature of the Bhramam,
eventually, it completely forgets the Sathya/truth, Gnana/wisdom, Anandha/bliss
Roopa of that supreme Bhramam. Thus, the Jeeva due to the over influence of
Avidya/ignorance fails to achieve the Purusharththa/Dharma, Artha, Kama and
Moksha, and engages in all those immoral deeds, hurl themselves in to
extreme misery and sorrows of worldly existence engage in the Karma which
could promote the welfare and fulfills the momentary desires, and engages in the
Anishtanivarana/removal of dislikes and Ishtasadhana/achievement of likes. The
Jeeva continues to perform Laukika and Vaidhika Karma and various Sadhanas to
achieve that Purusharththa miserably fails in their attempts. They constantly
gets beaten up by the Raga and Dhvesha/lust, desire, hatred, jealous, anger,
etc. like crocodiles and whales like dangerous aquatic animals that batter the ferry which causes to sink in the middle of the ocean without reaching its
destination of Purusharththa. The Jeeva hurls into numerous yonis of Deva,
Asura, animals, and Manushya, and constantly faces Janma, Jara, and
Marana. After several births, luckily
achieves the birth of human with the piousness achieved in the previous births,
performs all those deeds prescribed in the Veda, and sincerely follows
religious and spiritual rites, and surrender all those deeds to the supreme Lord,
eventually gets freed from the Raga and Dhvesha. This Jeeva with the knowledge of
destructible Prakrithi and indestructible Purusha gets freed from the Aihika/temporary
pleasures, and Parathrika/life after the death of Sukhabhoga. The Jeeva continuously
strive to achieve that Bhramabhava/supreme bliss, free from afflictions and
impurities engage in the Shamam, Dhamam, and Sadhana. In this process, the
Jeeva take shelter at the feet of the preceptor, constantly listening to
the knowledge of Vedantha Thaththva gained from the Guru, the highest of the
spiritual knowledge ‘Aham Bhramasmi’ with this knowledge of Bhrama Thaththva
Gnana, the Jeeva gets relieved from the ignorance and Samsara assumes that
supreme Bhramam.
