Chapter – 3 – Sri Yogavashista Saram – 21 –
29
Sage Vashishta speaks “Oh! Rama, the body
and I consciousness, Ahamkara, interest in worldly matters and bondage causes Chiththa
Vibhrama/false notion and constant grief. The ignorant Jeeva take pride in the
body, swollen with pride, get attached to the material matters and people,
chases after wealth, money, possessions, fame, richness, etc. without the
knowledge of impermanent nature of it, and pushed to constant miseries and
grief. The human body undergoes constant transformation, aging, illnesses, and
death, in the same manner, the attachment to the material matters hurls the
Jeeva into grief in the absence of it. The Jeevamukthi is not Samadhi or the performance
of religious and spiritual rites, Jeevanmukthi is the superior state, the mind
and intellect freed from all the desires. The attachment to worldly matters and
bondage/Anathmavasthu is Bandha, I and body consciousness is Anathmavasthu, the
destruction of Bandha is Moksha. The Nithyamuktha is free from Bandha and
Moksha. The Jeevanmuktha constantly contemplates and meditates upon that
indestructible Purusha/Paramathma Parambhramam resides as soul. The Parama
Nirvananirvithi is the superior state of the Jeevanmuktha, in that the Mahathma
consider the infinite Nama, Roopa, and Dhrishya in the Jagrathavastha/awakening
equivalent as in the Swapnavastha/dream that has fleeting nature, and remain in
supreme bliss. Oh! Rama, the abandonment of accumulated attributes/Vasana, of
Rajasik, Sathvik, and Thamasik nature is Moksha. The Sajjanas believes in getting
rid of all those Vasana with the austerities, vow, celibacy, Shamadhamadhi,
Thaththvavichara and Swadhyaya are the easiest and purest method to get rid of
the accumulated Vasanas of several births, and abandonment of the same is Moksha.
Oh! Rama, Moksha is not vested in the Nabhomandala, or Pathala or Bhoomi/on the
surface of the Earth. The destruction of all the desires and wrong perception
is Moksha. The mind and intellect freed from the interest in worldly matters,
bondage, Ahamkara are Moksha. Oh! Rama, there is no mind, intellect, or infinite
Nama Roopa, Dhrishya other than the supreme Bhramam, all those infinite Nama
Roopa Dhrishya in the Universe, and living and non-living things are the
Mithya/illusion caused, and it has impermanent nature, therefore the ‘Bhrama
Sathyam Jagath Mithya’. The Jeevamuktha constantly meditate upon that Anantha/eternal
Chith/pure, Anandhaghana/supreme bliss, Nirvikalpa Adhvatheeya/lacks duality,
Paramathma Parambhramam thereby gets freed from Bandha and Moksha. Oh! Rama,
Mana: Prashamana is Moksha, the mind and intellect freed from the
Sankalpavikalpa is Moksha. The mind and intellect freed from the interest in material
matters of richness, wealth, money, fame, possession, attachment to children,
wife, relative, companion, etc., the mind and intellect freed from the
above-said infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya of fleeting natures as in the
Swapnavastha/dream is Moksha. Therefore, when the mind and intellect get freed
from the interest in the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya, all that remains is Moksha.”
