Chapter 29 – Vivekachoodamani – 281 -290
Preceptor speaks “The two major responsibilities
of Yathi are 1) abandon the
Anathmavasthu, interest in material matters, richness, wealth, possession,
money, fame, people, etc. 2) do not indulge in Anathmavsthu and get rid of all
the impurities, engage contemplation upon the supreme Bhramam that represent
the Mahathvakya ‘Thaththvamasi’, would remove the remaining impurities and
brings Bhramaikhyabhava in the Yathi. The Jeeva born with the
attributes/Triguna, I and body consciousness, are ‘Ahamkara’ can be removed with
the regular practice of austerities, disciplines, vow, observance of
Bhramacharya, Swadhyaya, Athmavichara etc. The successful Sadhaka undertakes
strict austerities and Tapasya, and continues to perform the Tapasya until
he/she perceives the Jagath/Universe and Anathmavasthu/living and non-living
things, Prakrithi are Maya/illusion, same as in the Swapnavastha/dream that has
fleeting nature. They do not engage in futile activities like Nidra/sleep or Vishayavyavahara/interest in worldly matters,
immerses in the Athmavichara/Athmarathi, eventually achieve Mukthi. The human
body formed out of the impurities of Matha and Pitha, is a ‘bundle of secrets’,
hence do not take pleasure in it, and do not chase to fulfill its desires, it
should abandon like a ‘Chandala’, and contemplate upon that supreme Bhramam
resides as soul. The learned do not take
pleasure watching the mirror image of the sky in the mud pot, look at the vast sky
and perceive the all-pervasive Paramathma resides as soul, and remain in
supreme bliss. The Universe and its living beings are Mithya/Prapancha is
Mithya, therefore contemplate upon that supreme Bhramam who is the essence of The universe and its living beings illuminates the whole Universe with its
brilliance, and reside as a soul in you, hence abandon interest in the Universe/Prakrithi
and body like secrete, and contemplate upon that Paramathma Parambhramam. The Nithyanandhaswaroopa Paramathma
Parambhramam resides as a soul in you, hence abandon ‘I consciousness, and body
consciousness’, get rid of impurities like Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha,
Mathshcharya, contemplate upon that supreme Bhramam to achieve Mukthi from the
vicious cycles of rebirth. The Universe and the infinite Namaroopa Dhrishya/Prakrithi
is like the mirror image, all that have witnessed in the Jagrathvastha/awakening
state are similar as in the Swapnavastha/dream have fleeting
nature. Therefore, leave interest in the mirror image of the Jagath and
Anathmavasthu and contemplate upon the supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in you.”
