Chapter 2 - 7 - Bhashyam – Sathyasthuthi
- Who is contented in life? - The characteristics of an outstanding Bhramin/twice-born
– Sathyam Gnanam Anantham Bhrama
Sage Sanathkumara speaks “Oh! Rajendra,
the supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva is the absolute truth, and
these fourteen worlds initiated from that supreme Bhramam, are the faces of
that supreme Bhramam, it is immortal therefore contemplate and meditate upon
that supreme Bhramam and attain union with it.
The supreme Bhramam resides as Athman is the cause for the functioning
of the mind, intellect, Ahamkara, Panchaprana, Karma and Gnanendhriyas, once the
Athman leave the body, it would be declared as a corpse, hence contemplate upon
that supreme Bhramam/Paramathma resides as a soul in the Jeeva and achieve
Amrithaththva/immortality. You are that Sathyathma which has no dual forms, it
is all-pervasive, pure, absolute truth, and eternal and it has no birth or death
and free from afflictions. Oh! Rajan, get yourself free from all the sins
accumulated,/Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Madha, Moha, and Mathshcharya, and engage in
Thapovriththi/austerities, it is the wealth of a Mahathma/Sadhu, that was
earned from the supreme Bhramam. Oh!
Rajan, the ‘Kevala Thapas’ is free from impurities, it is the collection of
virtues, and constant meditation and contemplation upon that supreme Bhramam is
‘Kevala Thapas’. It has no place for impurities or false perceptions, the
collections of virtues/Bhakti, Gnana, and Vairagya is the Kevala Thapas. Oh!
Rajan, it is Papahara/it removes all the sins, it is pure, it removes
Janma/birth, Mrithyu/death, and Jara/aging and illness. ”
Who is contented in life?
Sage Sanathkumara speaks “Oh! Bharatha,
the Jeeva who is free from the Panchendhriya/interest in worldly matters and
bondage/Jeeva who has no interest in the things that have seen, heard, perceived,
tasted, enjoyed,/ and free from redundant thoughts is ‘contented ’ in life.
Oh! Bharatha, the Jeeva who is not drenched in the destructible material
matters like wealth, money, family, children, wife, fame, relatives,
companions, possessions, etc. person with
the thorough knowledge of the happiness that derived from it has fleeting nature,
all the material matters have to undergo constant transformation and ruin, is ‘contented’
in life. The Jeeva who is not chasing after material welfare lives without
get attached to any of the material matters and bondage is ‘contended’ in the
life, he/she is free from miseries and sorrows. The Jeeva who is free from
Indhriyasukha/pleasures from sense are ‘contended’ in life. The ‘Jeevamuktha’ do
not fall for the Indhriyasukha or material matters which has to meet definite
ruin, they constantly contemplate and meditate upon that indestructible
all-pervasive supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva.”
The characteristics of an outstanding
Bhramin –
Dhritarashtra speaks “Oh! Mahamune,
kindly describe who is Bhramana Shreshta/illustrious Bhramin/twice-born? Veda
is Sanathana/eternal, Aparusheya. The Brahmin who is profound in Vedic
knowledge is known as Chaturvedi, Trivedi, Dhvivedhi, Yekavedhi, and Anrik/has
no knowledge of Veda as well. Kindly describe the characteristics of an
illustrious Bhramin.”
Sage Sanathkumara speaks “Oh! Rajan,
Akhyanapanchama is Veda and Purana, the
Chandhokhyaupanishadh says ‘Ithihasapuranam Panchamam’, the person who has
profound knowledge in Panchamaveda/Veda, Ithihasa and Puruana are revered as ‘Panchavedhi’,
there are Chaturvedi, Trivedi, Dhvivedhi, Yekavedhi as well. There are
Anrik and people who have discarded all four Vedas too. I shall describe the
nature of an Uththama Bhramana/excellent Bhramin to you. Veda is the essence of
the supreme Bhramam which is Sath/indestructible, Chith/pure, Anandha/supreme
bliss/eternal, Adhvatheeya/has no dual forms. Hence, the twice-born who are
profound in Veda, constantly take pleasure in the recitation, contemplation, and
meditation upon that supreme Bhramam is an outstanding Bhramin. He understands
the Bhramam is the eternal truth, and the Prakrithi is Maya/ which is destructible.
The Ekaveda is Idham and Anidham/basic lessons, Vedhanam/knowledge is Veda.
Yeka and Adhvatheeya Veda become Samvithroopa is Gnanaswaroopa. The Yekavedha
is Bhramam, due to the influence of Maya, it becomes Rigvadhiveda, and assumed
various forms. These Rigvadhivedhas are taught methodically to achieve that
supreme Bhramam, hence it has achieved the name ‘Veda’. In other words, these
Rigvadhivedas are supreme Bhramam, learning and practicing the same to achieve
union with that Bhramam/Bhramalabdhi is Veda. The Shruthi says the Veda is ‘Sathyam
Gnanam Anantham Bhrama” Oh! Rajendra, understand the truth and achieve the
union with that indestructible supreme Bhramam with the practice of meditation
and contemplation upon that supreme Lord.”
