Yogi
speaks “I am that all-pervasive Bhramam resides as soul/Athman, therefore I am
freed from Pravriththi and Nivrithththi as well. It is vast, Yeka, Aparicchina,
Akhanda Ananda Paramathma Paramambhramam, free from Karma and results of the Karma
as well. I am that Nireendhriya, Vriththishoonya, Nirakara,
Akhandasukhanubhoothi, Paramathma Parambhramam eulogized by Shruthi, I am free
from Karma and Punya Papa as well. I am that supreme Bhramam resides as the
soul, the body is the Prathibimba/mirror image is free from Sheethoshna/heat
and cold, good and evil, therefore the feeling of heat or cold, grace or disgrace,
good or bad, happiness or sorrow, does not affect the Paramathma resides as
soul/Athman. I am not that body that undergoes constant transformation, aging,
illnesses, and death, I am that eternal Paramathma Parambhramam resides as
soul/Athman. The supreme Bhramam resides s soul/Athman is the sole witness of
the Jeeva, therefore the diversified nature of Nama Roopa will not create trepidations
in me. I am the Sakshiroopa Paramathma, and the mind, intellect, Karma,
Gnanendhriya, Prana are Upadhis/tools to take pleasure in the Dhrishya, like the
earthen lamp lit spread light, remains free from the Karma taking place in the
home. I am that Nirvikara, Nireeha, Paramthma Parambhramam free from Karma and
Karmaphala. I am that Kootastha, Paramathma Chidhanandhaswroopa, is the sole
witness like the Adithya/sun is the sole witness of the Universe, does not get affected
by the Karma of the living beings in it. I am not Karththa/doer or Karayitha, I
am not that Bhoktha or Bhojayitha, I am
not Dhrashta or Dharshayitha, I am that
Jyothirathma is the sole witness. The movement of reflection of the sun in
the water gives out the appearance of movement of the sun to the ignorant, but the
intelligent easily makes out it as the movement of water. The ignorant believe
the miseries and sorrows, Janana, Marana, Jara, Vyadhi, affects the ‘Athman’,
Oh! Mooda, I am not that body, I am that all-pervasive Paramathma Parambhramam
free from Janma, Jara, Marana, and Vyadhi, I am free from happiness, grief,
sorrows, pain, etc. I am that Nishkalanka, Nirvikara, Nishchala
Sacchidhanandaswaroopa Paramathma. The sky is pure, as same as the space inside
the Ghatam/mud pot. The body is Jadavasthu, do not take pride in it, because it
constantly undergoes transformation, aging, illnesses, and finally meets its death.
The Shareeradharma does not affect the Athman, therefore it is definite that
the body will meet ruin in either way in the land or water, the Athman is pure,
Shudhdha Chaithanyaswaroopa and imperishable. The Vikalpa of the intellect
perceives the diversified Nama, Roopa in the Universe as Karththa, Bhoktha,
Khalathva, Sathguna, Jadathva, Unmaththam, Bandhdham, Muktham, etc. The
Adhvaitha Paramathma Paramachaithanya resides as soul/Athman, is free from the
above-mentioned divisions. I am that supreme Bhramam which is Athmaswaroopa,
Nithyashudhdha Mukthaswaroopa. The Maya/illusion causes the infinite Nama, Roopa,
that won’t affect the Athman like the Sky remain untouched by the clouds in
it. I am that Nithya Muktha Chaithanyaswroopa Paramathma Parambhramam, those
emotions of diversified nature will not affect me.”
