Chapter 13 – Vivekachoodamani – 121 – 130
The preceptor speaks “ The Sushupthi/deep
sleep is the state of Vriththishoonya/the three attributes of Maya remains inactive,
is known as ignorance/Avidya. The Anathmavasthu are body, Indhriya, Prana,
Manas, Ahamkara, Kamakrodhadhi emotions, Shabdhadhi Vishaya, the experience of
happiness and sorrow, the essential five elements, is known as ‘Anathma’/not
Athman. The three attributes of Maya,
Mahath Thathva is Anathmavasthu too. I shall describe the components of Maya
in detail, the Mahath Thaththva, Ahamkara, the Trigunas such as Sathva, Rajas, and Thamas, Anthakarana, Manas,
Buddhi, Chiththam, Ahamkara, Shabdhadhivishya/Roopa, Rasa, Sparsha, Gandha,
and Shabdha and the Panchabhootha/fire, water, ether, earth, and air are the
components of Maya.”
The preceptor continues “I shall narrate
the nature of the all-pervasive Paramathma Parambhramam resides as a soul in the
Jeeva, the knowledge of ‘self’ is Kaivalya, it is the only source to get rid of
miseries and sorrows of worldly existence, and the liberation from the vicious
cycles of rebirth. The Athman is self-illuminating, is the source of the
functioning of above-said Karma, Gnanendhriya, mind, intellect, Chiththam,
Ahamkara, remains the sole witness in the three-state of awakening, sleep, and
dream, it is beyond the Panchakosha such as Annamaya, Pranamaya, Manomaya,
Vijjanamaya and Anandhamaya. The Paramathma resides as soul/Athman is wielded
in Maya, causes the ordinary Jeeva not to experience the ‘Paramachaithanya’
Paramthma Parambhramam. The presence of Paramathma is the sole witness in the
three states of sleep, it causes the functioning of the mind, intellect, Chitta,
Ahamkara was often mistaken as ‘I’. The Paramathma witnesses the Prapancha
without the support of anything in the three states of awakening, sleep, and
dream, but the Prapancha cannot experience the presence of it. The presence of Paramathma/soul causes the Jadavasthu/lifeless
into living things, therefore it is
vivid that the ‘Paramathma/soul is self-illuminating does not require any
support of Jadavasthu to brighten it. The supreme Bhramam/Paramathma is omnipresent;
none of the Jadavasthu can survive in its absence. The all-pervasive Bhramam
lighten the Jadavasthu with its presence, due to this the Surya and Chandra
release heat and coolness respectively. Likewise, the human body, five
Karmendhriya, five Gnanendhriya, mind, intellect, chiththam, Ahamkaram are
Jadavasthu/lifeless in nature is functioning with the presence of ‘Athman’/soul
in it, and the Jeeva takes immense pleasure in the Prakrithi, material matters
and bondage due to the presence of Parmathma Parambhramam resides as a soul in it. Once, the Athman/soul leaves the body it is declared as ‘corpse’. Therefore, the Paramathma Parambhramam resides
as a soul in the Jeeva, is the sole source to experience the Sukha, Dhukha,/Dhvandha
Bhava, various emotions and feelings, like mud pot made out of mud, mud pot has
no existence without mud. In the same manner, the Paramathma Parambhramam is
the basis of the Jeeva, and it has no existence without it.”
