Chapter 9 – Vivekachoodamani 81 – 90
Preceptor speaks “The Jeeva who is not
freed from impurities, like Kama, Krodha, LObha, Moha Madha, and Mathshcharya,
continues to chases after the Vishayavisha/interest in worldly matters and
bondage is constantly followed by the ‘Mrithyu’/fear of death. The
Paramarththa/eternal truth is the Jeeva who constantly listens to the speeches
of Mahathma, Sathguru, and Sathjana,
achieves the knowledge of ‘self’/Paramathma Parambhramam resides as a soul, undertake austerities, vow, celibacy, with the
Theevravairagya/sense of abandonment achieves the fruitfulness of life. The
Jeeva who yearn for Mokshaprapthi should practice the following 1) get rid of
interest in worldly matters and attachments to wealth, money, fame, richness,
people etc. are Vishayavisha/toxic poison 2) undertake austerities like Dhama,
Shamam, Shanthi, Dhaya, and Arjjava, and get freed from miseries and sorrows.
It is rare to achieve human birth; hence the Jeeva should practice getting
rid of Avidhya Bandham/ignorance and attachments, and constantly strive to
achieve the state of serenity, getting freed from redundant thoughts, miseries, and grief. The birth is followed by death, the human body undergoes constant
transformation, aging, illnesses, and death, and therefore it is illogical to
make an effort to protect it. It is certain that the Prarabdhakarma would
protect the body from the ruin; hence the body does not require any protection, the purpose of human birth is to achieve Mokshaprathi, getting rid
of interest in worldly matters and bondages. The Jeeva who protects the body,
enjoys the comforts and luxuries of life, and simultaneously strive to achieve
the Paramathma Parambhramam, are like the traveling on the back of a crocodile
with the wrong idea that it is a ‘wooden plank’, and making an effort to cross the
river, sadly the traveler cannot escape from the mouth of the crocodile. The ‘Mahamrithyu’/pathetic death is body
consciousness and ‘I’ consciousness/me, mine and myself, the Sadhaka who is
freed from the pride of body or possession/ Abhimana is Mrithyu/ deserves the
Mokshapadham. The Mahamrithyu is a feeling of pride in family, children, wife, wealth,
possession, fame, etc... Without getting rid of the pride, it is impossible to
achieve Mukthi, the ascetics, Rishis, and Sages, undertaken extreme austerities
and penances and got rid of this Mahamrithyu, and achieved the Paramapadha that
is the lotus feet of Lord Vishnu.”
Preceptor continues “Oh! Fortunate one, I
shall describe the nature of ‘Sthoolashareera’/human body is the bundle of
secretes, it comprises skin, muscles, blood, Snayu, Medhass, Majja, and Asthi,
and deposit of secretes and urine, does not deserve any respect. It is a
component made of Panchabhootha/air, earth, water, fire, and space, was
initiated due to the Janmantharakarma/accumulation of Karma/Poorvakarma/ takes
pleasure in the Shabdha, Rasa, Roopa, Gandha, and Sparsha. The Jeeva takes
pleasure in the material things and matters with these Panchendhriyas and body.
Therefore, the human body is like a house, and the householder performs all the
tasks living in it, engages in all the activities. The Sthoolashareera/human body is an important tool, it is impossible to perform any task or take
pleasure in its absence, hence the human body is a vital instrument to take pleasure
in the Shabdha, Rasa, Roopa, Sparsha, and Gandha.”
