Chapter – 1 – Sri Yogavashista Saram – 1 – 10
Sage Vashishta speaks “Oh! Raghava, the
Athmajjani performs the Vyvahakarika Karma, all the duties and responsibilities
like an ordinary Jeeva, without getting attached to it. They are free from the
Vasanas performs the tasks without expecting the fruit, these Mahatmas
explore the world without getting attached to Prapancha. Oh! Raghava, Mahatmas
are free from Raga and Dhvesha, free from desires, ego, anger, jealousy, and pride,
/is Veetharagi, perform the duties like the ordinary Jeeva. They are free from trepidations
and anguish, these Mahatmas do not grieve over the past or worry about the
future, all they feel the serenity and supreme bliss in their lives. Oh! Raghava,
abandon Ahamkara/body and I consciousness, get rid of all those attributes
earned in several births by austerities, vow, celibacy, Shamadhamadhi, Athmavichara
and Swadhyaya, the abandonment of Triputi/Dhyatha, Dhyeyam, Dhyanam, provides
the Ahamkararahithavastha, perceive the supreme Bhramam /Oneness-in-all, and
explore your journey as a Jeevamuktha. Oh! Rama, Athman is Eka, Vishudhdha, it
is supreme consciousness, destroy the body and I consciousness like the dense
wood in the fire of Gnana/wisdom of all-pervasive supreme Bhramam, the
Universe and living and non-living things are the essences of Paramathma
Parambhramam and there is nothing other than Paramathma in this Universe,
contemplate upon that Adhvatheeya Anandhaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam and
get rid of Dhvandhabhava/dualities and Vishayavisha/toxic poison like interest
in worldly matters and bondage, and live in supreme bliss/Sukhibhava. Oh! Rama,
the body and I consciousness/me, myself, and mine, Abhimana
Pashabandha is the root cause of the sufferings, it fastens the Jeeva in the
worldly existence which is nothing other than miseries and sorrows. Destroy
the body and I consciousness with the sharp Khadga/dagger of wisdom/Athmajjana,
and live-in supreme bliss. Oh! Rama, abandon the interest in the
Anathmavasthu/material matters, wealth, richness, money, possession, fame,
attachment to children, wife, relatives, and companion, and live like a dispassionate
Jeeva, do not concentrate on the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya that has momentary
life, and contemplate upon that supreme consciousness/Athman, the
indestructible Paramathma, Parambhramam resides as soul. Oh! Rama, the
all-pervasive supreme Bhramam is beyond the three states of awakening, sleep, and
dream, it is Nithya Chaithanya Swaroopa, pure, unblemished, free from
afflictions and duality, it has neither birth nor death, hence contemplate upon
that Paramathma Parambhramam and achieve union with it, and live like that Parambhramamswaroopa
Paramathma/Aham Bhramasmi. Oh! Rama, ‘Bhramabhootho Bhaveth’, Oh! Mahabhaho, you are that all-pervasive
supreme Bhramam, free from impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha and
Mathshcharya, and always be that supreme consciousness. Oh! Rama, you are
neither Grahya nor Griheetha, you have no
interest in the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya in the Universe and you are free
from all those impurities, you are that supreme consciousness, and continues to
remain that incomparable Bhramam. Oh! Mune, get rid of Sankalpa/ideas of
worldly matters of destructible nature, with the Sankalpa/idea of Bhramam of
indestructible nature, and get rid of Anathmavasthu/interest in worldly matters
and bondage, with the Athmavasthu/Athman, and contemplate upon that supreme
Bramham is a simpler method to achieve serenity.”
