Chapter – 4 – Sri Yogavashista Saram – 31 –
43
Sage Vashishta speaks “Oh! Rama, the
Athmajjani/Bhramavithth do not take pleasure in the Anathmavasthu/body, wealth,
money, richness, fame, possessions, and attachment to people, they get rid of
interest in worldly matters, bondage, body and I consciousness, all those
impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya, like the
serpent shred its outer skin effortlessly which was considered as ‘body’. The
ignorant get attached to the material matters, richness, fame, money, wealth, possession,
people etc. and undergoes constant miseries and grief, the permanent loss of
wealth or people, aging, illnesses, and death, would make realize the
misconception about the fleeting nature of the same, ultimately, they abandon
the interest in the worldly matters and bondage like the serpent shred its
outer skin. The Yogi undertake strict austerities, disciplines, Shama, Dhama,
Sathyam, Shaucham, Dhaya, the vow of silence, observance of celibacy, immerses in
the Athmavichara, and Swadhyaya, contemplation and meditation upon the supreme
Bramham resides as soul, and get rid of impurities/Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha,
Madha, Mathshcharya, body and I consciousness, interest in worldly matters and
bondage becomes GunaDhosharahitha/neither impure nor pure, roam around freely
and fearlessly like a child. Oh! Raghava, The Universe and it's living and non-living
things are the essence of that supreme Bhramam, it is omnipresent, like the
fire in the wood, statue in the rock. The universe and its living beings initiated has no existence without that supreme
Bramham. The Jeeva vested on that supreme Bhramam, and the Athman is
self-illuminating spread its radiance/energy so that the functioning of the
body, intellect, mind, Chithth, Ahamkara, Karma, and Gnanendhriyas takes place.
Oh! Rama, the Jagath/Universe and the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya are an illusion, is Kalpitha/imagined, as the small waves in the pond have fleeting
nature, the waves keep appear and disappear, in the same manner, the
Jagath/infinite Nama, Roopa, Dhrishya keeps appear and disappear is Sankalpa
Vikalpa. Oh! Raghava, the supreme Bhramam is all-pervasive, Chithdhroopa/pure
intellect, Chidhabhasa/bliss, Sarvabhoothavabodha/supreme consciousness,
Paramashantha/serene, Sarvathravasthitha/omnipresent, therefore ‘Sarvam
Bhramamayam’. I am that Chithdhroopa Paramathma Parambhramam/Aham Bhramasmi,
the all-pervasive Bhramam is Sarva Vikalpa Nirmuktha Parameshwara Paramathma. Oh!
Rama, the Maya/illusion is Jagathroopini, is all-pervasive like that Purusha,
like the Jala Budhbudha/water bubbles, that has fleeting nature. The Raga,
Dhvesha/Kama, Krodha, Madha, Moha, and Mathscharya are like the venomous
serpent living in the hole, as long as it is in the hole it does not harm
anyone. The Yogi and Mahathma get rid of these toxic poisons of Ragadhvesha
with the austerities, Tapasya, the vow of silence, meditation, and contemplation
upon that Bhramam. Oh! Rama, the fury is like Badavagni/colossal fire, the body
is like the vast ocean, the Jeeva who has perfect control over anger get freed
from the intensity of it, and win over the Mrithyu. The lust and desires inflict
excruciating pain in the Jeeva, finally hurls into Mrithyu, like the Til/sesame
seeds crushed under the wheel. The Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya
destroys the purity of the intellect and hurls the Jeeva into complete
darkness. The Athmajjani/Bhramavithth, get rid of these impurities following
the austerities remain free from the hellish tortures of the above. Oh! Rama, I
shall describe the evilness that takes away the serenity of mind and push the
Jeeva into hellish tortures 1) Dhurarththa/the wealth earned in immoral ways,
wealth confiscated forcibly, wealth and possession obtained in crooked ways 2)
Dhurarambha/the treacherous plan to obtain wealth or plotting against the
innocent to abduct wealth, fame, richness, etc. or putting others into trouble
and make a profit out of it or employ evil-minded to abduct the wealth of others 3) Dhurguna/wicked nature, finding means to steal
others wealth, money, richness, fame, etc. or finding pleasure in other’s fall
4) people who follow immoral ways to take away the wealth and possession of
others, cannot achieve serenity of mind, ultimately pushes into Mrithyu. The
Mahathma and Bhramaviththa are free from the above evilness, achieves serenity
of mind and immerses in supreme bliss.”
