Bhashyam - 38
Sage Sanathkumara speaks “Oh! Rajan, in
this way the Paramathman/supreme Bhramam which has no duality, assumes various
forms with the union of Anadhimayayoga, the supreme Lord personifies on the
Earth with the union of that Maya. The Veda describes Paramathma Parameshwara
Parambhramam which is all-pervasive with the Vikarayoga/passionate Yoga,
creates the Universe and its living beings.
Bhashyam – 39
The supreme Bhramam, Paramathma which is
pure, unblemished, and free from afflictions, flawless, eternal, and changeless,
has no birth and death, that Parameshwara in Vikarayoga/passionate Yoga,
creates the Universe and its living being with the Ekshanadhi/Puthraishna,
Viththeshana, etc, therefore the Maya who is the female Shakthi of Paramathma
is all-pervasive as supreme Bhramam. Hence, I understand it is not
Apoorvadhilakshna/incomparable Paramathma who is Chith Anandha Adhvatheeya does
not have any ‘Karana’, creates the Universe and its living beings with the
influence of Maya, I shall explain them with the Pramana. The sacred Veda
initiates from the union of Parmathma with the JagadhupadhanaKaranabhootha
Maya, hence the Veda is the Pramanam/proof. Shruthi says “ Lord
Indra/Paramathma, with the influence of Maya assumes various forms and carry
out the tasks.” /”Indro Mayabhi:
Pururoopa Eyathe”/” Asyan Mayi Srijathe Vishwamethath”/“Universe and it's living
beings are created with that Maya”/ “Mayinam Thu Maheshwaram”, the Parmathma
Parambhramam remains unblemished and dispassionate even after the passionate union with the female
Shakthi/Maya.
Bhagavan Vasudeva says “ Oh! Parththa, the
Devi Maya of mine is extremely difficult to conquer, I am Aja/unconquerable,
have no birth, Avyayathma/eternal, I am the Lord of the living beings, creates
the Universe and its living beings with the influence of that powerful Maya of
mine. I am the sole Adhyaksha/commander; Prakrithi gives birth to that
Charachara Prapancha.”
“Oh! Bhagavan Vasudeva, your Maya is the
essence of Ajjathapadharththa/not understandable, and stunningly gorgeous, due
to this Maya even the ignorant who was drenched in this worldly matters and
bondage achieves the ‘Athman’. The Supreme Lord Krishna who is Vishwambara
bears the Universe and his Maya is highly confidential, extremely difficult to
perceive. Aho Adbhuthamayam Thvam Maya! The
dull-minded get soaked into the worldly matters, money, people, family,
children, relatives, companion, wealth, richness, fame, etc. that has fleeting nature and
hurl into extreme grief and sorrow. These dull-minded Jeeva fails to understand
the Parameshwara who resides as a soul in them is the sole witness.”
I strongly state that “Pramadha/Mahamoha,
lack of knowledge of that all-pervasive supreme Bhramam which is pure, free
from afflictions, eternal, changeless, has no birth and death, is the ‘Mrithyu’.
The ‘Mrithyu’ has Jananam/ ‘birth’, so the vicious cycles of rebirth continue,
the wise/noble/learned Jeeva with the knowledge of Paramathma Parambhramam who
is the sole witness resides as ‘Athman’, do not get anxious about ‘Mrithyu’, gets
freed from the cycles of Mrithyu. Hence, the knowledge of ‘Athman’/Paramathma
Parambhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, which is the Abhayaprapthi/ultimate
shelter. Thus, Sage Sanathkumara cleared all the qualms of Dhritarashtra.
Dhritarashtra speaks “Oh! Mahamune, why
the Jeeva follows Dharma and Adharma? Does that Jeeva with the observance of
Dharma remove the results of Papa? Or Dharma nullifies the Papa?
Bhashyam – 40
Further Dhritharashtra raised a question
to Sanathkumara, some Jeeva perform various religious and spiritual rites with
utmost reverence, like the Agnihothradhi Karma, and in the same manner, some of
the Jeeva follows the Adharmic rites as well. Do the Dharmic activities destroy
the Papakarma performed earlier? Or the performance of Dharmic rites nullifies with
the effect of Papakarma? Sage Sanathkumara replies that there will not be any
nullifying/cancellation effects of Papakarma with the performance of Dharmic
rites. The Vidhwan/learned as well as the Avidhwan/ignorant should go through
the results of their Papa and Punyakarma’s definitely. The performance of
Dharmic rites won’t destroy the Papakarma performed earlier. The
Vidhwan/learned one burns out Punya and Papa in the flames of
wisdom/Gnanagni/Athmajjanam.
Sage Sanathkumara speaks “Oh! Rajan, the
learned one destroys the Punyapapa Karma in the Gnanagni, the dull-mined/
ignorant Jeeva go through the Punyapakarma taking several births and go through
sufferings, miseries, pain, agony, illness, happiness, material welfare, etc.”
