Chapter – 40 – Viveka Choodamani - 391 – 400
Preceptor speaks “ The supreme Bhramam is
Advaitha/has no dualities, and it is the eternal truth as well. Shruthi
eulogizes that supreme Paramathma Parambhramam as eternal truth and
all-pervasive. Mahathma /noble souls contemplate upon that supreme Bhramam as
vast sky, that has no specific appearance or color, Akhanda/indestructible,
Nishchala/free from changes, Nirvikalpa/beyond perception, Nirmala/pure.
Shruthi affirms the Universe is the essence of supreme Bhramam, it is
Advatheeya, the Jeeva is that Bhramam, hence the Bhramajjani’s take pleasure in
the ‘Aham Bhramamsmi’, getting rid of all those worldly matters and bondage.
They constantly contemplate and meditate upon that supreme Bhramam, and
achieves union with the Chaithanyaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam. Oh! Mune,
abandon the interest in worldly matters and bondage, and impurities such as
Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha and Mathscharya, and abandon the pride in the
body and I consciousness, and contemplate upon that Anandha Ghanaswaroopa
Paramathma Parambhramam, and take pleasure of Bhramanubhoothi. I shall explain
the Shavakara and Shivakara of body and the Athman. The body represents
‘Shavakara’/corpse in the absence of Paramathma in it, and while alive it
undergoes constant suffering of aging, illnesses, and death, it could give
sufferings in all possible manner to yourself and others, hence the body is
inauspicious. The Nithya, Sudhdha, Mukthaswaroopa Paramathma resides as
soul/Athman is auspicious/Shivakara and eternal bliss, the attachment to the
body and material matters causes constant grief and sufferings, therefore
abandon interest in the inauspicious body and related matters, and get attached
to the Nithya Muktha Anandhaghana Swaroopa Paramathma with the constant
contemplation and meditation, and it is Mukthi. The Maya in the Jeeva causes
the attachment to Prakrithi/material matters, richness, possession, wealth,
fame, money, people, etc. the abandonment of interest in worldly matters and
bondage would make the Jeeva perceive that Adhvatheeya, Poornna Pramathma who
is sole witness, free from Kriya. Prapancha is Vikalpa/diversity, the illusion
causes the mind and intellect to get attached to worldly matters and witnesses
infinite Nama and Roopa. The mind and intellect fixed on the Paramathma
Parambhrmam, get relieved from redundant thoughts, and the interest in material
matters get annulled. Samadhi/meditation is the process of getting rid of
Dhrishya/Nama Roopa, and redundant thoughts, and fixing the mind and intellect
upon the supreme Bhrmam resides as soul. The Prapancha is Maya/Vikalpa, which cannot
be true. The supreme Bhramam is Adhvaitha/no dualities, is Nirvikara, and
Nirvishesha, all those Nama Roopa Dhrishya has fleeting nature. Bramham is free
from changes, Nirakara/free from emotions, cannot be Dhrishya, Dhrishtya,
Dharshana. The supreme Bhramam is changeless
as the vast ocean where all the living and non-living things submerged at the
time of deluge in the Kalpantha, it is Poornna/flawless, Yeka/no duality,
Nirvikara/changeless, Nirakara/no forms, Nirvishesha/beyond comparison, Bhramam
without any attributes or Vikalpa/diversity, manifoldness.”
