Vivekachoodamani Sri Shankaracharya Virachitham – The splendor of Bhramam - Jagath Mithya - Universe is the essence of Athman/Paramathma /Viratroopa of supreme Lord

 


Chapter 24 – Vivekachoodamani  231 – 240

 

Preceptor speaks “The Atharva Veda state the supreme Bhramam is Vishwam/Universe, it reveals the all-pervasive nature of Bhramam, if the Jagath is separate from the Bhramam, it would lose the permanent nature of Bhramam, and the verses that confirm the Bhramam becomes untrue, and the description of Mahathman would become invalid, hence the Jagath is ‘Abhinnam’ from the Jagathpathi.  Bhagavan Krishna reveals the all-pervasive nature/Viratswaroopa of Bhramam/ Paramathma, there is nothing other than that supreme Bhramam in this Universe.  I shall explain the nature of  the Jagath that cannot be experienced while in the Sushupthi, because Jagath is an illusion and it is similar to the Swapnadhrishya/whatever seen in the dream has fleeting nature, hence the Jagrathdhrishya/whatever seen while awakening is like the Swapnadhrisya has fleeting nature reveals the impermanent life of Prakrithi. The illusion/Maya in the Jeeva causes to visualize the Jagath/Universe different from the Parmathma, there is nothing other than Paramathma Parambhramam in this Universe, the illusion causes due to the influence of Thriguna/Sathvik, Rajasik, and Thamasik nature in the Jeeva. The supreme Bhramam is all-pervasive and eternal, it is changeless and has neither birth nor death,  that all-pervasive supreme Bhramam is addressed in infinite names as ‘This’/Thath with the influence of Triguna. The supreme Bhramam is  Adhvatheeya/lacks duality, Vishudhdha/pure, Vijjanaghana/wisdom, Niranjjana/unblemished, Prashantha/serene, Adhyanthaviheena/neither end nor beginning, Akriyam/free from Kriya, Nirantharam/eternal,  and Anandharasaswaroopa/supreme bliss. The Bhramathaththva is beyond Maya/Prakrithi, it is Atheetha/not perceivable, Nithyasukha/permanent bliss, Paramanishkala/stainless, Apremaya/immeasurable, Aroopa/lack forms, Avyaktha/invisible, Anakhya/beyond description, Avyaya/indestructible, and Jyothiswaroopa/supreme radiance. The Mahathma perceives that all perceive Bramham as Jjatha/, Jjeya, Jjana/wisdom, Anantha/eternal, Nirvikalpa/beyond perception, Akhandachinmathra/indestructible, and permanent bliss, Paramathathva. The Mahathma perceives that Bhramam beyond Vak/word, Manas/mind, is Adhiantharahitha/has neither beginning nor end, resides as a soul in them and remains in supreme bliss.”
