Preceptor
speaks “ Oh! Mune, the knowledge of self’ would remove the body, and I
consciousness and ignorance in the Jeeva. Shruthi describes the Pranali /intrusion of
Prarabdhakarma in the life of Mahathma, to enlighten the Jeeva about the Prarabdhakarma
and how to get rid of the same with the knowledge of ‘self’, to get relieved
from the interest in worldly matters and bondage, and thereby remove the qualm,
why the Athmajjani undergoes sufferings even after achieving the Bhramajjanam. Shruthi sheds light on the eternal truth, it encourages
the ignorant Jeeva to stop chasing after worldly matters and bondage, perform
deeds to satiate the sense and get fastened by the miseries and sorrows of worldly
existence, and ultimately throwing to the vicious cycles of rebirth. The
Athmajjani cut off the Samsara and Prarabdhakarma with the knowledge of self.
The Prapancha/Prakrithi is the essence of diversified matters of infinite Nama
and Roopa, caused by the Maya, therefore Jagath is Mithya. The supreme Bhramam
resides as soul/Athman is Paripooornna/flawless, Anantha/eternal,
Adhimadhyantharahitha/neither birth nor death, Aprameya/immeasurable, Avikriya/changeless,
Yeka, Adhvaya/free from dualities, is all-pervasive. The Jeeva witnesses
infinite Nama Roopa Prakrithi/living and non-living things with the influence
of Maya. The Supreme Bhramam resides as the soul is Sathghana/indestructible, eternal,
Chithghana/pure, Anandhaghana/bliss, is Eka Adhvayam, therefore the
Nanathvam/diversification in the Prapancha is Mithya. The supreme Bhramam is
Prathyagathma, Paripoornna, all-pervasive, Eka, and Adhvaya, hence the
diversification in the Prapancha is Mithya. The supreme Bhramam resides as the soul
is pure, unblemished, changeless, independent, Yeka and Adhvaya, hence the
Prakrithi is illusion/Mithya. The supreme Bhramam is Nirguna/free from Triguna
Sathvik, Rajasik and Thamasik nature, Nishkala/unblemished, it is beyond words,
mind and intellect, Eka, and Adhvaya. It is free from diversification. The
supreme Bhramam resides as the soul is free from attributes/Vasana, all-pervasive,
eternal truth, supreme consciousness, it is beyond perception, Eka, and Adhvaya
as well. Therefore, the diversification in the Prapancha is an illusion. The
Mahathma and Yathi, undertake extreme austerities, vow, observance of celibacy,
and the practice of Sathyam, Dhamam, Shamam, Shaucham, etc. achieve perfect
control over sense, get rid of impurities like Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha,
and Mathscharya, and perceive that supreme Bhramam and achieve union with it,
immerses in the Athmabhramaikhyanubhoothi, and remain in supreme bliss.”
