Sri Sanathsujatheeyam – Sri Mahabharath - Sri Shankarabhashyam – Bhashyam –70 - 79 Bhramana, Bhramavithth, & Kavi/ Bhramavithth is the absolute Bhramam

 



Chapter 29 - Bhashyam – 70 - 79   – Bhramana, Bhramavithth, & Kavi/ Bhramavithth is the absolute Bhramam

 

Bhashyam - 70

Sage Sananthkumara speaks “Oh! Rajan, I shall describe the nature/Samachara of supreme Bhramavithth who is absolute Bramham. The Bhramavithth who is Aprayatha/free from all the Karma, Sthithaprajja/calm, contented, wise, is highly honored won’t get over-excited or take pride in it, in the same manner, if he was humiliated, do not get anxious or enraged. The Sthiraprajja Bhramavithth undertakes Goodacharya/living in isolated places, is Aprayatha/inactive, Thooshnibhootha/silent, will have perfect control over sense, great endurance, takes immense pleasure in the ‘Athmarathi’/contemplation and meditation upon the supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva. If the Bhramavithth is Sanyasin or Bhramacharin, will have profound knowledge in Vedanthavijana Sunishchitharththa/eminent in Veda and Vedanta, Parama Hamsa Parivrajakacharya is highly honored and worshiped, they won’t take pleasure in the honor, or take pride in it. If a Bhramavithth is considered as Jada/insane and humiliated won’t get agitated or anxious as well.”


Bhashyam - 71

The respects or disrespects to a Bhramavithth is considered as lightning/ it has momentary life, they do not take pleasure or get agitated on the short-living nature/Asath of Prakrithi/richness, money, wealth, fame, people, etc. They consider respect and disrespect, grief, and happiness, are momentary feelings, which has no permanent existence. So they take pleasure in the contemplation upon that supreme Bhramam which is eternal/Sath, changeless, neither birth nor death, and free from afflictions. These Bhramavithth understands the fact that the Adharmavidhvan/Jeeva drenched in all the Adharmic/immoral activities, soaked in Lokashathravivarjitha/material matters and bondage, are Mooda/ ignorant, do not respect the Bhramavithth.

 

Bhashyam – 72, 73


The Bhramavithth consider the honor from the Dharmavith/Vidhwan/learned and wise people who are engaged in the spiritual and religious rites has the nature of the ‘blink of eyes’, do not last for long, consider them as the nature of Vidhwan/learned respects the Bhramavithth. If the Vidhwan/learned disrespects the Bhramavithth, consider the disgrace as the nature of Adharmavith as Mooda/dull-minded, Lokashasthravivarjitha/soaked in the material matters and bondage, Avidhvan/ignorant, and Aviveki/unwise.

 

Mana/respect, pride and Mauna/ vow of silence

Bhashyam - 74

Sage Sanathkumara speaks “Oh! Rajan, I shall describe the nature of ‘Mana/respect, pride, and Mauna/silence’. The Mana and Mauna do not work like a ‘Sahitha’/close associate; Mana/pride is closely related to Lokavishaya/material world, and the silence/Mauna related to ‘Paralokavishaya’/supreme abode ‘Thath Bhramam’.

 

Bhashyam - 75

 

Mana/pride and Mauna/silence do not live in harmony, impossible to live in the same place. The Mana/pride takes pleasure in the Prathyakshadhigochara/Prakrithi, material well-being, richness, wealth, money, fame, people, etc. The Mauna/silence takes pleasure in ‘Athmarathi’/supreme Bramham is eternal bliss and free from afflictions. The Bhagavan says “ Mauni immerses in the ‘Om Thath Sath’/the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva.” Anugita says “Om Thath Sath Vishnave’ is the sacred syllables provide Sayujya/one of the Apavargaphala.” ‘Thath’ is Bhramam which is the subject of Maunam/silence.  Hence, Mana/pride causes to achieve Samsara/interest in material matters and bondage, and the practice of  Mauna/silence provides Bhramaprapthi. Hiranyagarbha says “ The interest in Anna and Bhoga/grains, richness, wealth, possessions, money, family, children, wife, relatives, companions, etc..Are the results of Mana/pride. The vow of silence/ Maunam provides the Bhramananda Sukhaprapthi/eternal bliss.”

 

Bhashyam - 76

 

Sage Sanathkumara speaks to Dhritarashtra “Oh! Rajan, Oh! Kshatriya, the interest in the Manarththa/pride and material matters would definitely provide wealth, it is ‘Paripandhini’/causes attachment, but the Bhramavithth who is Prajjaheena/immerses in the ‘supreme consciousness’ leaving the ‘body’ and ‘I’ consciousness, earns the ‘Shri’/wealth which is difficult to achieve and it is permanent.”

 

Bhashyam – 77

 

Sage Sanathkumara speaks “Oh! Kshatriya, the Jeeva soaked in the worldly matters, with the excessive influence of Mana/pride, and interest in wealth, take interest in material possessions, takes pride in it, they perform rites/Karma to achieve the heavenly pleasures, possession of an abundance of cows and grains is Vishayavishandha/blind completely drenched in the toxic poison like material matters and bondage without the knowledge that it has a temporary existence. The wealth earned by performing rites to achieve fruitful results are a hindrance to the Shreyomarga/achievement of the greatest of the wealth Mokshamarga.  Mokshadharma says “The learned/wise live in the material matters and chase after sensual pleasure would get fastened by the noose of bondage, the Sukrithi/fortunate ones brilliantly cut off the noose of bondage with the knowledge of all-pervasive supreme Bhramam. The Vidhwan who immerses in the Kriya and enjoys the fruitful results fails to cut off from the interest in worldly matters and bondage.” The ignorant Jeeva who is drenched in the pride of possession of wealth, chases after the material well-being, etc. he is Prajjaheena/lack of supreme consciousness and Vidhyaheena/lack of wisdom as well. These kinds of Jeeva fail to achieve ‘Bhramanandha’/supreme bliss. The Hiranyagarbha describes “The supreme Bhramam is the eternal wealth, is permanent, Chidhagnandha/eternal bliss, Gunaroopavivarjitha/free from attributes, miseries or fortune, happiness or sorrow, Anandhakhya/essence of bliss, Para/beyond comparison, and it is Shudhdha Shri/pure wealth.” The Shruthi says, the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam is extremely difficult to achieve, it is even impossible to hear it.

 

Bhashyam - 78

 

I shall describe how to achieve that extremely difficult ‘Bhramalakshmi’/permanent wealth. The intellectuals have beautifully described the ways to approach that inaccessible Bhramam which is extremely difficult to achieve. The six techniques such are 1) Sathyam/truthfulness, 2)Arjavam/free from wickedness 3) Hree/absence of shyness to perform the righteous deeds, 4) Dhamam/perfect control over sense 5) Shaucham/purity 6) Vidhya/wisdom, these are the supreme tool to break the Mana/pride, Moha/desire, etc.

 

Bhashyam – 79

The Mahathma beautifully describes the gateway to the Bhramalakshmi/the supreme Bhramam which is considered as the greatest wealth of the Jeeva. The techniques to approach the inaccessible Bramham is extremely demanding with the strict following of truthfulness in conversations, free from wicked and immoral activities, free from the shyness to perform the righteous deeds, the practice strict control over sense, purity of mind, and learning scriptures, are the prime tools for Antha: Karana Shudhdhi/purity of mind and intellect. Shaucha is Kalmashaprakshalana/free from the impurities like ego, pride, jealousy, anger, etc, Vidhya is Bhramavidhya/the knowledge of the all-pervasive Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, that has no birth or death, it is free from miseries and grief of worldly existence, it is unblemished, pure, and eternal and it is supreme bliss. The practice of these six techniques such as 1)Truthfulness, 2)practice of control over sense/do not get attached to material matters, people, possessions, wealth, etc. and perfect control over Anger, lust, desires, jealousy, pride, etc. 3) purity of mind and intellect 4) keeping away from all the immoral deeds 5) keeping away from unwanted shyness to perform the righteous deeds and 6) strive to achieve the knowledge of the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam, being in the association of noble souls and ascetics,  listening and reading scriptures and Shastra etc. The practice of the above six methods to achieve the Bhramalakshmi would remove the Manamohaprathibandha/pride, desire, lust, greed, jealousy, anger etc..that are the main hindrance in achieving the Moksha.
