Chapter 19 - Bhashyam – 32 - How did the Karma become Bandhahethu?
Sage Sanathkumara speaks “Oh Rajan, “Gnanena
Thishtan Na Bibhethi Mrithyo:”, the Bhrama Gnana is the only source to achieve ‘Amrithyu’/immortality. In the earlier verses, I have described the ‘Pramadha’
as ignorance/lack of knowledge of the supreme Bhramam which is all-pervasive,
pure, unblemished, eternal, changeless, and free from afflictions, has no death
or birth. The ‘Mrithyu’/ignorance is the
interest in worldly matters, attachments to families, relatives, children,
possession, money, richness, and fame which have momentary lives, hence the ‘Bhrama
Gnana’, is the knowledge of destructible Prakrithi/money, people, wealth, richness, etc. and the indestructible Bhramam resides as soul/Paramathma, only could
provide ‘Moksha’/free from afflictions to the Jeeva.”
Dhritarashtra speaks “Oh! Mahamune, Veda
strongly recommend the Vedic rites performed by the honorable twice-born, the
performance all those righteous deeds of spiritual and religious rites without
yearning the fruitful results, are Paramapurusharththa. Why they do not get attached
with the performance of Karma?”
Sage Sanathkumara speaks “Oh! Rajan, I
shall describe how the Karma became Bandhahethu/reason for the attachment. The
Veda strongly affirms that the Karma like Jyothishtoma, and various sacrificial
rites performed without yearning the fruitful results, by the Sadhus/noble
souls who are Dharmarooda/symbolizes Dharma, the places where these righteous
deeds are carried out by these noble souls are considered as pious, Pavithra,
Sanathana, are known as Pararththa/ Karma performed for the welfare of The universe and its living beings and Paramapurusharththa. The intellectual/learned who has profound
knowledge of the welfare of the Universe and its living beings which could
provide Paramapurusharththa, how did they keep remote from the performance of those
righteous deeds? A Bhramavithth who constantly takes pleasure in the ‘Athmarathi’,
take shelter in the supreme Purusha/Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, and
discard all those material welfare, attachments to people, money, wealth,
richness and fame etc. that has fleeting nature. Hence a Bhramavithth sincerely
follows Sanathanabhootha Karma for the welfare of the Universe and its living
beings.”
