Chapter 26 – Vivekachoodamani – 251 -260
Preceptor speaks “The mud pot made out of
mud have no existence without mud, and it has to merge with it after a period
of time, in the same manner, the Prapancha initiated from the supreme Bhramam
merges with it. The Universe and its living beings initiated from supreme
Bramham, hence there is nothing other than Bhramam, thus Shruthi affirmed
‘Bhrama Sathyam’. The supreme Bhramam is
pure, unblemished, free from afflictions, changeless, and serene, likewise the
Athman/ Jeevathma initiated from the supreme Bhramam is pure, with the
influence of attributes/Triguna/Rajasik, Sathvik, Thamasik, the Jeeva get
attached to the material matters, wealth, richness, fame, money, possessions, people, etc. undergoes constant miseries and
sufferings of the worldly existence. The Desha/region, Kala/time, Karma/duties,
Karththa/doer, witnessed in the Swapnavastha/dream disappears in the Jagrathavastha/awakening,
the same with the things witnessed in the Jagrathavastha/awakening too. It
reveals the Mahath Thaththva as ‘Jagath Mithya Bhrama Sathyam’. The learned
perceives the supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in them with the strict
austerities, and Tapasya, and understands the Bhramam as the source of the
functioning of Karma and Gnanendhriyas, Mana, Buddhi, Chiththa, Ahamkara, Panchakosha, etc. They contemplate upon the Nithya
Shudhdha Bhramam free from afflictions, changeless, pure, has neither beginning
nor end. The learned Mahathma perceives the Nirguna Bhramam/free from Sathvik,
Rajasik, Thamasik,/ resides as a soul, is beyond Jathi/Varnna, Neethi/laws, Kulam/clan,
Gothra/sub-sect, Nama, Roopa, Desha/region, Kala/time, Vishaya/matter. The supreme Bhramam is pure, Chaithanya, Shudhdha
Ghana Anadhi Swaroopa, beyond word and perception, the learned perceives that
pure Bhramam and remain in supreme bliss. The Shadoormi are Kshudha/hunger,
Pipasa/thirst, Jara/aging, Nara/visible sign of aging, Shoka/grief, and Moha/desire,
these are the six types of powerful waves in the worldly existence. The Yogi perceives
that supreme Bhramam is free from afflictions, beyond Indhriyas, mind,
intellect, or words. The Yogi perceives that supreme Bhramam which is free from
illusion, pure and the essence of the Universe and its living beings cannot perceivable
with the Indhriyas. The Yogi perceives that all-pervasive supreme Bhramam as
the creator, preserver, and the destroyer of the Universe and its living beings,
is beyond Janam/birth, Vridhdhi/growth, Vyadhi/illness, Nasha/destruction, and Change, etc. The Yogi perceives that
supreme Bhramam as Nithyamukhtha, Akhanda Paripoornna Chinmayaswaroopa as
serene, free from changes, invisible, beyond Triguna, like the calm ocean. The
Yogi perceives that supreme Bhramam, as Yeka/single, Adhvatheeya/lack of
duality, is the cause for all the causes, free from all the Karma, beyond Karya
and Karana. The Yogi perceives the supreme Bhramam which is Vikalpa, Nirvikalpa/changeless,
Anantha/eternal, indestructible, Avyaya/imperishable, Nithya/ eternal,
Niranjana/unblemished and remains in supreme bliss.”
