Chapter – 278- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – ‘Bhrama Sathyam Jagath
Mithya’ – The Maya/illusion is
inseparable from the Jeeva, but the supreme Bhramam is free from the illusion
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “ Lord Sriman Narayan describes
the Chathusloki Bhagavath/the glorious scripture Srimad Bhagavath in four
verses to Lord Bhrama “Oh! Bhrama, there
was nothing at the beginning of this Universe, I was the only one who existed,
listen to me carefully, the supreme Bhramam is pure, free from dualities,
eternal, unblemished, primeval, bliss, etc. Oh! Bhrama, I am that supreme
Bhramam indivisible, yet visible in the infinite matters of this Universe. The
infinite worldly matters comprise of Sathvik/nobility, Rajasik/demonic, and
Thamasik/dullness, hence if these three attributes disappear, there will be
only ‘Me’/supreme Bhramam that remains. I am that supreme Bhramam/Paramathma,
and it is my unconquerable Maya/illusion that persuades the Jeeva to experience
all the worldly matters of infinite sound, appearance, touch, smell, and
passion are ‘Real’, in fact, there is nothing real in this Universe. It is my
Maya/illusion that makes to believe the Jeeva the eclipse occurs, I am impenetrable,
free from all the illusions. The Universe was created out of the Panchathaththva/five
essential matters such as Air, Earth, Water, Space, and fire, and all the
living and non-living things formed out of these Panchathaththva is an illusion,
even though it reflects as the mirror image/Paramathma is Jeevathma. I am that
all-pervasive supreme Bhramam free from illusion, and free from the three
attributes, I am the creator preserver, and destroyer of the Universe, as well.
Oh! Bhrama, my Maya/illusion is inseparable from the Jeeva, like the vital air/Prana
in the body. The fish cannot live without water, but the water can exist
without fish, in this way, the Jeeva is dependent on the Maya, and Maya is not dependent
on the Jeeva. This magnificent nature of the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam is eulogized
as ‘Nethi Nethi’ /incomparable/Na: Ithi, Na: Ithi, by the illustrious Sage
Sanakadhis.” Oh! Mortals, so it is essential to have 1) Jjan/supreme wisdom/the
knowledge of absolute truth/knowledge of self / 2) Vijjan/practical knowledge/all
the material matters are destructible, finally the Jeeva achieves the pure love
and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. Oh! Mortals, the all-pervasive
supreme Bhramam personified as Lord Sri Hari/Sagunaswaroopa Paramathma
Parambhramam, therefore contemplate and meditate upon that Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa
Paramathma Parambhramam to achieve the fruitfulness of life.”
