Viveka Choodamani – Sri Shankaracharya Virachitham – The human body is achieved as a result of Prarabdhakarma is to feed the fruit of Karma - Gnana/wisdom is the knowledge of ‘life is full of miseries and sorrows and the experiences of it have fleeting nature’

 


 



Chapter – 42 – Viveka Choodamani  - 411 – 420

 

Preceptor speaks “Whoever abandons the interest in worldly matters and bondage, and constantly contemplate upon the supreme Bhramam resides as the soul is Sacchidhanandha Adhvyaya, Paramathma Parambhramam would not return to the Samsara, gets freed from the vicious cycles of rebirth. The Mahathma discard the body consciousness like Trina/grass, the human body is achieved as a Prarabdhakarma is to feed the Karmaphala, hence they discard it like a corpse and contemplate upon that supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in it, did not come back to worldly existence.  The body is a bundle of secrete, the Mahathma discard it with the constant contemplation upon the Anandhaghana Sacchidhananswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam, and do not look back for the requirements of the body, or chases after to please the sense, they abandon it as a ‘Vomit’. They burn the body and I consciousness in the blazing fire of Athmajjana/knowledge of impermanent nature of  Prakrithi/material matters, people, possession, fame, richness, wealth, money, etc. and the indestructible Paramathma Parambhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva. They immerse in the constant contemplation upon the Nithya Vishudhdha Bodhathma Bhramam and continues to be in the Nirvikalpasamadhi, ultimately achieve union with it. The Mahathma do not get anxious about the body that was achieved due to the Prarabdhakarma, they do not worry whether the body exists or not, they consider it as the garland adorned on the neck of the cow, continues to take pleasure in the ‘Brahmaleenavriththi’ transcendental state. The Athmajjani who has perceived the Akhanda Anandha Sacchidhananda Swaroopa Paramathma as himself/Aham Bhramasmi’, do not get anxious about the existence or non-existence of the body. The sign of Jeevanmuktha and the fruit of ‘Athmasidhdhi’ is eternal bliss, free from grace and disgrace, happiness and sorrow.  The fortunate Jeeva achieves Athma Gnana/wisdom with the practice of Vairagya/abandonment, eventually, Uparathi/lacks the interest in worldly matters and bondage, ultimately achieves Athmanandha/bliss and Paramashanthi/serenity of mind. The Yogi who has achieved that Athmanandha and Paramashanthi would not search for anything else. These Gnana/wisdom, Vairagya/renunciation, Uparathi/lack of interest in worldly matters, provides the Athmanandha and Paramashanthi, therefore the Gnana/knowledge of Athman that was not used to put into practice of Vairagya and thereby to achieve the Paramanandha is futile, the supreme bliss and contentment are beyond words. The nature of worldly existence is full of sorrows and has a fleeting nature. The Gnana/wisdom is the knowledge of ‘life is full of miseries and sorrows, and the experiences of happiness and sorrows have fleeting nature’, the intelligent do not get over- excited or anxious in both the state of happiness and sorrows. The pure wisdom keeps the Jeeva away from dullness, and foolishness, do not prompt to commit unwarranted deeds.”
