Viveka Choodamani – Sri Shankaracharya Virachitham – I am that ‘Sadhashiva’/Shivoham - I am that Poornanandhaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam

 



Chapter – 49 – Viveka Choodamani  - 481 – 490

 

Preceptor speaks “ Oh! Mune, listen to the enthusiastic speech of that Yogi who woke up from the ‘Athmarathi’ “Oh! It is miraculous! It is impossible to describe the splendor of that supreme Bhramam which is the essence of nectar-like Akhanda Paramanandhaswaroopa, I have experienced that Athmanubhoothi, like the berry fallen on the ocean, I have experienced a drop of Paramananda Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam, I am contented, and completely out of trepidations. It is astonishing that the Universe and the diversified nature of Prakrithi, infinite Nama and Roopa/living, and non-living things disappeared from my sight, all that I could experience the eternal bliss the Akhanda Chaithanya Paramthma Parambhramam. I have experienced a drop of that Akhanda Anandha Peeyusha Poornna Bhrama of a vast ocean of nectar, there is nothing other than the supreme Bhramam in this Universe. That ocean of nectar-like Bhramanandha erased all my qualms, attachments to Prakrithi, Jadavasthu, and the infinite Nama and Roopa before my eyes. I shall repeatedly prostrate before the preceptor, Mahathma, Vimukthasanga/saintly men and ascetics, who are free from worldly matters and bondage, I shall prostrate before that supreme Bhramam which is eternal and Adhvaya/lack of duality. I shall prostrate before the preceptor whose compassionate grace removed the miseries and sorrows of worldly existence/Samsarathapa in me, like the cool rays of Chandra removes the exhaustion of the day’s long heat of the blazing sun. I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor who enlightened me with the knowledge of supreme Bhrmam resides as soul, which is eternal bliss, indestructible Paramathma Paramapurusha resides as a soul in the Jeeva and enthused me to experience that Parambhramam Paramathma, although for a second. I am contented/Dhanyoaham,  Krithakrithyoaham/satisfied, Vimukthoaham/I am completely out of miseries and sorrows of worldly existence, with the compassionate grace of my preceptor. I am that supreme Bhramam free from worldly matters and bondage/Vishayasanga, I am not that body or the Karma, Gnaendhriyas, I am not woman, man, or Napumsaka, I am that Prashantha/serene, Aparichinna/indestructible, Nirmalaswaroopa/pure Paramathma Parambhrmam. I have achieved union with the Shudhdha Bodhaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam which is Akarththa/free from action, Abhoktha/free from consumption, and Vikararahitha/free from emotions. I am that ‘Sadhashiva’/Shivoham. I am not Dhrashta/viewer, Shrotha/hearer, Vaktha/speaker, Karththa/doer, or Bhoktha/consumer, I am beyond those experiences. I am that supreme Bhramam which is Nithya/indestructible, Niranthara/eternal, Nishkriya/inactive, independent, unrestricted, Sangarahitha/ free from afflictions of Karma and Gnanendhriyas, I am that Poornanandhaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam.”
