Sri Yogavashista Saram – Nirvana – 10 - The abandonment of interest in the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya is Moksha - The attachment to the Dhrishya/vision is Bandha, and the detachment to Dhrishya is Moksha

 

Chapter – 1 – Sri Yogavashista Saram – 1 – 10

Sage Vashishta speaks “ Oh! Rama, Manonasha is Parampadha/supreme state, the abandonment of Dhrishya Dharshana, interest in worldly matters and bondage/infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya cannot provide continuous happiness, the eternal bliss derives from the contemplation and meditation of Paramathma Parambhrmam resides as the soul which is free from afflictions, pure, changeless, and bliss. The attachment to material matters, richness, wealth, fame, money, possession, people, etc. has impermanent nature, the attachment to those Anathmavasthu pushes the Jeeva into extreme agony in the absence of them. The Dhrishya and Dharshana Sambandha/interest in the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya fastens the Jeeva and hurls into the worldly existence of miseries and sorrow. The abandonment of interest in the infinite Nama Rooopa Dhrishya is Moksha. Oh! Rama, do not get attached or abandon the Prapanchavasthu, stay impartial to Sath/indestructible Purusha and Asath/destructible Prakrithi. Oh! Rama, always depend on the Paramarththa Thaththva, while witnessing the Jada Ajada Vasthu/Anathma and Athmavasthu. Oh! Rama,  you are that supreme Bhramam vast like the sky, free from specific appearance, and those haze and clouds like emotions in the sky are momentary, therefore always fix your mind and intellect in that Paramathma Parambhramam.  Oh! Vathsa, the knowledge of self, indestructible Purusha, and destructible Prakrithi/ Bhramajjanam would destroy the concept of Dhrishya and Dhrashta. The attachment to the Dhrishya is Bandha, and the detachment to Dhrishya is Moksha. Oh! Rama, abandon the Triputi’ that is  Dhrashta, Dhrishyam, and Dharshana. The supreme Bhramam is all-pervasive, resides as soul/Athman, which has subtle nature, Nishkalanka, pure,  Nishchala,  and Bahyantharvyapi/omnipresent, leave interest in the Prapanchavasthu/Anathma, worldly matters and bondage, and contemplate upon that Anadhaghanaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam. The supreme Bhramam is omnipresent, like the vastness of air in the Bhramanda.  The Paramathma is Sarvabhoothahitha, leave interest in the Prapancha and contemplate upon that Akhanda Sacchidhananda Swaroopa Parambhramam. The supreme Bhramam/Chithth is self-illuminating, like the Earth, sky, radiance in the Sun, living and non-living things, the Universe and its living and non-living things are the essences of that supreme Bhramam. The supreme Bhramam Paramathma is free from Bandha or Moksha, it is free from Dhvaitha,  it is Yekam Bhramam, and omnipresent. Oh! Rama, as I have mentioned earlier, Bhrama is Chith, Bhrama is Bhuvanam/Universe, Bhramam represents living and non-living things, Bhrama is Parampara:/supreme consciousness, Aham Bhramam/I am that Bhramam, the Bandhu/relatives, Mithra/companions, and Shathru/enemies are that Bhramam. The Bhramajjani perceives that all-pervasive Bhramam in everything, achieves the supreme state of immortality, which is pure, Paramapavana, Adhvatheeya Bhramam and immerses in eternal bliss. Oh! Rama, the Mahathma Bhramajjani stands firm between the concept of Dhyava/dualities, /Asthi and Nasthi, they contemplate and meditate upon that Nithya Shudhdha Paramathma Parambhramam resides as the soul that has neither birth nor death, pure, changeless, eternal truth, and supreme bliss. The Bhramajjani contemplate upon that all-pervasive Paramathma Parambhramam/Oneness-in-all, which is the sole source of the functioning of the mind, intellect, Chithth, Ahamkara, Prana, Karma, and Gnanendhriyas. Oh! Ram, the supreme Bhramam is Sarvasankalpa Phaladha/provider of fruits of Karma, it is self-illuminating resides as a soul in the Jeeva, it illuminates the Universe with its presence/Sarvatheja Prakashakam. We worship that Paramathma Parambhramam which is Chiththswaroopa, and source of the Universe and its living and non-living things. Oh! Raghava, the supreme Bhramam resides as soul/Athman, is Anandhadhayaka/bliss, it provides the bliss of confluences of Dhrishya and Dhrashta/vision and viewer. We contemplate upon that Paramathma Parambhramam resides as the soul is self-illuminating, spread its radiance to provide bliss from the infinite Nama, Roopa, Dhrishya. The supreme Bhramam is eternal bliss/Akshayanandha, whoever contemplates the bliss at the end of Jagrathavastha/awakening, and before the Nidhrvastha/sleep experiences that Akshyanandha/eternal bliss.”
