Chapter 14 – Vivekachoodamani 141 – 150
The preceptor speaks “The ignorant Jeeva
drenched in Tamasik and Rajasik qualities, get fastened with the crocodile-like
material matters, possession, wealth, fame, money, richness, attachment to wife, children, relatives,
companions, etc. constantly undergo grief and sufferings in the absence of
any one of the above-said/Vishaya Visha/toxic poison like material matters.
They neither get the opportunity to listen nor to get close in the association of
Mahatmas, in this way the Jeeva completely keep it afar from the
Vidhya/Athmajjana hence the Jeeva hurls into vicious cycles of repeated births.
The Rajasik and Thamasik nature of the Jeeva drive them to adopt immoral ways
of living and belief continues to sink in the unfathomable ocean of worldly
existence. The Viveka/intelligence/knowledge of ‘self’ is the only way to get
rid of sufferings and miseries of worldly existence. The ignorant Jeeva swollen
with the Ragadhvesha forgets the nature of ‘self’/Paramathma in it, like the
Sun covered in the heavy dark clouds, followed by chill winds. In this way, the
Jeeva drove far away from the Paramathmaswaroopa, with the ‘I’ consciousness
/me myself, and mine, and ‘body’ consciousness, undergoes miseries and sorrows
of worldly existence. I shall explain
the Samsaravruksha in detail 1) The Thamoguna is the seed of
Samsaravruksha/tree-like worldly existence, 2) the wrong notion of body consciousness, and I
consciousness and Ragadhvesha are the
leaves in it, 3) the performance of
duties/Karma is the water to the Samsaravruksha, 4) the body, Prana, Indriyas are the branches and
twig of the Samsaravruksha, 5) the Vishaya/interest in the material world is the
flowers in it, 6) the grief earned by
the performance of Karma are the fruits 7) the birds like worn-out Jeeva is the Boktha/consumer of the fruit of Karma.
The ignorance is the root cause for the attachment in worldly matters, possession,
richness, fame, wealth, attachment to wife, children, relatives, companions, etc. and all these have fleeting nature, undergoes transformation/aging,
illnesses, and death. The ignorance caused by the attachments cannot be removed
with the Astra, or Shastra, or Vayu or Agni or performance of various
religious or spiritual rites. It can be get sieved off with the sharp sword
like the knowledge of ‘self’/Paramathma, Athman with the compassionate grace of
the supreme Lord. The person who has profound knowledge in Shruthi, scriptures,
and Shastra follows strict austerities, perform religious and spiritual rites
prescribed in the scriptures as Eshwararththa, get rid of impurities like the Kama,
Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya, eventually attain ‘Athmajjana’,
it is the one and only effective method to uproot the tree of Samsara. The
‘Athmaswaroopa’/Paramathma resides as a soul in the Jeeva gets pale due to the
influence of Panchakosha, attributes like Rajasik and Thamasik nature, like the pond filled with the algae that ruin the purity of the water. The learned practice austerities and get rid of impurities/Ragadhvesha, achieve the
knowledge of Paramarththa Thaththva, undertake the practice of constant
meditation and contemplation, perceives that all-pervasive Bhramam.”
