Chapter – 39 – Viveka Choodamani - 381 – 390
Preceptor speaks “Oh! Mune, the Sadhaka
contemplates upon the supreme Bhramam resides as soul, abandoning interest in
worldly matters and bondage which causes to augment the Ahamkara, ego, lust,
desire, jealousy, pride, etc. he undertakes strict austerities, vow, celibacy,
contemplation and meditation upon that Paramathma Parambhramam resides as soul
and achieves Moksha. The Yogi perceives that supreme consciousness/Paramathma,
as Sarvasakshin/sole witness, is the source of functioning mind, intellect,
Ahamkara, Panchaprana, Karma, and Gnanendhriyas, etc. engages in the contemplation
upon that Bhramam and achieve the serenity of mind. The Yogi with the knowledge
of Paramathma/Purusha, and the nature of Prakrithi/body, Buddhi, Prana,
Ahamkara, which has fleeting nature, abandons the interest in worldly matters and
bondage, contemplate upon that Akhanda Sacchidanandha Swroopa Paramathma
Parambhramam that is vast like the sky, immerses in the Bhramanishta. The Jeeva’s
Upadhisambandha/Karma, Gnanendhriyas, mind, intellect, Prana, etc. gives out
the appearance of infinite names and sizes, makes the Jeeva get attached to it.
The Yogi gets rid of visions/Dhrishya, and redundant thoughts, and immerses in
the contemplation of the Supreme Lord, consider those Dhrishya like the mud
pots of different sizes and forms are made out of the mud. The Yogi abandons all
those Dhrishya and its related thoughts and immerses in Akhanda Sacchidhananda Adhvaitha
Paramathma Parambhramam. The supreme Bhramam is all-pervasive, and all those
Dhrishya are mere illusion/Maya, there is nothing exists other than the Akhanda
Satchidananda Adhvaitha Bhramam. Whoever sincerely follows that, won’t get
perplexed, or drown to the Samsara again and again. Whenever the Dhrishya/visions,
dominates due to ignorance in the Jeeva, the intelligent would restrict it with
the knowledge of the all-pervasive Bhramam, and get rid of delusion, like the
rope mistaken as the serpent. The Yogi perceives the permanent truth ‘I am that
Bhrama, I am that Vishnu I am that Indra and Rudra as well. I am that Universe
and I am that living and non-living things as well’. There is nothing other
than the supreme Bhramam, the illusion in the Jeeva forced to believe the
infinite Nama Roopa of that Bhramam.”

Vishwamidham Sarvam Swasmadhanya Na Kinchana||
The Akhanda
Satchidananda Swroopa Paramathma Parambhramam is all-pervasive, and there is
nothing other than Supreme Bhramam, like the waves, foam, bubbles in the water.
In the same manner, the body, intellect, mind, chithth, Ahamkara, Panchaprana,
Pandhendhriyas Karmendhriyas, functioning in the presence of supreme
Bramham/Paramathma as a soul in it. The illusion causes to get attracted to the
Dhrishya/visions, of infinite names and Roopa, there is nothing other than the
all-pervasive Bhramam/Oneness-in all. The Universe/Prapancha is initiated from
the Bhramachaithanya, is beyond words and mind. The mud pot made out of mud has
no existence without the mud, likewise, the Universe and its living
beings/body, mind, intellect, karma Gnendhriyas, Panchaprana functioning in the
sole existence of Bhramam/Paramthma has no existence without it, then why
should the Jeeva take pride in its life? Why should Jeeva take pride in body
and possessions? Is not that utter foolishness?”
