Sri Yogavashista Saram – Manolayam – 4 - the illusion caused mind is the reason for the creation of infinite Nama, Roopa, Dhrishya in the Universe/Jagath Karththa - The state of being mindful of the material matters is the cause for the existence of Universe and its living and non-living things

 



Chapter – 1 – Sri Yogavashista Saram – 1 – 10


Sage Vashishta speaks “Oh! Rama, I shall describe the mind and intellect as ‘Manmanan Mana Ucchyathe’, the mind and intellect abandons the Sathya, Gnana, Anantha, supreme Bhramam and gets attached to the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya, with a wrong perception that all those illusions caused interest in material matters and bondage are real and pleasing to sense. The Chiththa  is pure, the  intellect initiated from that supreme Bhramam is Sathya, Gnana, and Anandha, the ignorant Jeeva forgets the real nature of the Chithth and get attached to the illusion caused material matters, possession, fame, richness, wealth, people, etc. that has fleeting nature. Oh! Rama, the intellectuals and learned remain in the association of Mahathma, noble souls, resembles the Sadhusangama Chandrika, the association of Mahatmas are like the cool rays of the autumn moon, they enlighten the souls with the knowledge of Paramarththa Thaththva. The association of the Sadhu Santh Mahathma is nectar-like pleasing to the soul, it removes the impurities like Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, interest in material matters and attachments to people, and introduce to the real nature of Athman which is free from afflictions of worldly existence, pure, supreme bliss unblemished, and has neither birth nor death. The supreme Bhramam is all-pervasive, the illusion caused false notion and differences in the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya, are like the powerful waves in the ocean of worldly existence. Oh! Ramachandra, all those illusions caused infinite Nama Roopa and Dhrishyas comes to an end with the knowledge of self,’ Paramathma Parambhramam resides as soul.   The air is essential to lit the fire, and the air is enough to put off the fire as well. In the same manner, all those illusions caused Nama, Roopa Dhrishya disappears with the knowledge of Athman/Sarvam Bhramamayam’. The interest in Vishayavisha/interest in the toxic poison like material matters, richness, wealth, money, fame, people, etc., get removed with the Nissankalpa of the illusionary visions and the knowledge of Sarvam Kalvitham Bhrama. Oh! Rama, ‘Manayeva Manushyanam Karanam Bandha Mokshayo:’ therefore the mind and intellect is the cause for the illusion of bondage and attachments, like a person, had a dream of his own death. Oh! Raghava, the ignorance in the mind and intellect causes the body and I consciousness/Anathmavasthu, the illusion caused interest in Prapancha/destructible Prakrithi is the cause for the constant miseries and the grief of worldly existence. The illusion caused mind and intellect gets attached to these destructible Prakrithi, the Athmajjana/knowledge of self-removes those false notions of the mind and intellect. Oh! Rama, the illusion in the mind causes the body and I consciousness of destructible nature, undergoes constant transformation and ruin, therefore the knowledge of impermanent nature of Prapancha and knowledge of indestructible Purusha resides as the soul is enough to remove all those misconceptions, as mentioned earlier, Athmajjani consider the infinite Nama, Roopa, and Dhrishya of Jagrathavastha/awakening are the same as in the Swapnavastha/dream that has fleeting nature. In this way, all those redundant thoughts appeared in the mind due to delusion disappears. The abandonment of the interest in destructible Prapancha/Anathmavasthu, possession, richness, wealth, money, fame, attachment to wife, children, relatives, companion, etc. and the acceptance of Athmavasthu/Athman, indestructible Purusha, Paramathama, Parambhramam free from impurities, afflictions, eternal, changeless, pure, unblemished, free from death and birth is the nature of mind and intellect. Oh! Ramathan illusion caused mind is the reason for the creation of infinite Nama, Roopa, Dhrishya in the Universe/Jagath Karththa, the mind reacts completely in different ways while hugging wife, and the children, even though the actions are the same. The state of being mindful is the cause for the existence of the Universe and living and non-living things, interest in worldly matters and bondage, body and I consciousness, feelings and emotions, experiences of shame, grief, respect, honor, guilt, anger, agony etc. that has fleeting nature. The Athmajjani strives to restrict the flow of illusion caused infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya from the mind, following Shamadhamadi, austerities, observance of celibacy, and contemplate and meditate upon the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam/Oneness-in-all, perceives that Paramathma Parambhramam and achieves union with it, remain in supreme bliss.”
