Chapter 18 - Bhashyam – 30 - 31 How to win over the Mrithyu? The Mrithyu can win
over only with the knowledge of
‘Athmajjanam’/Bhramajjanam
I shall describe how to win over the ‘Mrithyu’,
that has repeated cycle. The learned does not get anxious about ‘Mrithyu’, they
constantly engage in the process of learning ‘Athmajjana’ and becomes the ‘Athman’
which has the nature of supreme bliss and free from afflictions. The ignorant
Jeeva takes shelter in the interest in the worldly matters and bondage, which
is the darkness of ignorance, approaches miserable ‘Mrithyu’, they constantly
undergo miseries and sorrows of worldly existence. On the other hand, the Aththmajjyani with the
knowledge indestructible Paramathma Paramabhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva,
loses interest in the Vishayavasthu, get relieved from the ‘Mrithyu’, hence the
Ajjana is the ‘Mrithyu’. The lack of knowledge of the all-pervasive Paramathma
Paramambhramam resides as a soul that has no death or birth, sinless, pure,
unblemished, eternal, changeless, and supreme bliss is the ‘Mrithyu’.
The learned/wise/intellectuals,
understands the absolute cause of ‘Mrithyu’ as ‘Pramadha’ born out of Kama,
Krodha, Lobha, Madha, Moha, and Mathshcharya, which is the Beeja of Sarva
Anarththa/all the absurdity. They
discard interest in the worldly matter and bondage which has a short living
nature/money, wealth, people, richness, fame, etc. They strive hard to achieve
perfect control over sense, and earn the highest of the virtues/endurance,
discipline attains union with the supreme Bhramam which is Chith/pure
intellect, Sadhanandha/eternal bliss, Adhvatheeya/lack of duality, Bhramam
resides as a soul in the Jeeva, hence they do not get anxious or frightened of ‘Mrityu’.
The Shruthi strongly affirms “The Jeeva who immerses in the Bhramanandha/eternal
bliss with the constant meditation and contemplation upon the supreme Lord won’t
get scared of ‘Mrithyu’.”
I shall describe how did the Athmajjyani
get rid of the fear of Mrithyu? The Jjyani/learned one achieves the knowledge of
the supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, is all-pervasive, unblemished, pure,
changeless, eternal bliss and it is the single source of the functioning of
Prana, Ahamkara, mind, intellect, Panchaprana, Karma, and Gnanendhriyas of the
Jeeva, hence the learned takes shelter in the supreme Bhramam resides as soul
which is none other than indestructible Purusha, eventually he loses interest
in the destructible Prakrithi /material matters, wealth, possession, fame,
money, attachment to people, etc. In this way, the learned get rid of
ignorance/Ajjana, and achieve the state of perpetual bliss/Amrithaththva/immortality. The Namamahodhadhi describes “The learned
one, with the profound knowledge of destructible Prakrithi and indestructible
Purusha, attains union with the supreme Bhramam/Purusha and remains
Vajra/unconquerable keeps away from the interest in worldly matters and
bondage, and courageously fight against the impurities like Kama, Krodha,
Lobha, Madha, Moha, and Mathshchaya, he is famously known as ‘Mrithyuhantha’ ‘Mrithyughathaka’/killer
of Mrithyu.
