5."HAVING SEEN GOD THE MAN ENDS BY BECOMING GOD"

-

Chapter-2.

Mantram-5.(last of this chapter).


Iha   ced-avedid-atha   satyam-asti

na   ced-thavedin-mahati   vinastih

Bhutesu   bhutesu   vicitya   dhirah

pretya-smallokad-amrta   bhavanti.


Meaning:-

"If one knows ( That Brahmam )  here, In this world, then the true end of all human aspirations is gained. If one knows not ( That/ Brahmam) here, great is the destruction. The wise, seeing the  ONE ATMA  IN ALL  BEINGS, rise from  sense-life and become immortal. "


Explanation:-

Without renunciation, no enduring successes  can ever be gained by anyone, at any time, in the annals of human endeavour.

Examples:- Nature herself is roaring this Truth. 1. The fish must renounce their capacity to swim if they were to gain the greater glory of gliding through the space on their wings as birds. The birds must surrender their power of flying if they were to rise higher in evolution and reach the instincts of animals. The animals must slowly  give up their hardness and gross physical capabilities if they are to gain the subtler power of a blossomed mind and intellect. The ape-man, if he were to renounce his tail and the jungle life, we have our Politician or Film star. The last stage is God-hood!

========================================================================= Monday,  January 02,  2023. 07:30. SECTION -TWO :  THE PHILOSOPHY OF YAKSHOPAKHYANA : (Continued) Post-12. ========================================================================= MEDITATION ON BRAHMAN : The story teaches us that everything is despicable except the knowledge of Brahman. The glory of this world is less than a straw. The greatest of the gods are nothing before the Brahman. Even the king of the gods is nothing before it. The story also shows that it is very difficult to realise Brahman, as even the best of the gods failed in their attempts to comprehend it. It further shows that Agni, Vayu and Indra became great through the knowledge of Brahman alone. Brahmajnana is supreme greatness and glory. It is vain to think that any individual has the power to act or to enjoy. It is Brahman that is, and nothing else.  Brahman is the embodiment of all qualities, powers and existence. It is possible for anyone

THE PHILOSOPHY OF YAKSHOPAKHYANA : 2. Post-19. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another instruction that this story gives us is that Brahman does exist. If it does not exist, then, something else must exist. What is that something else? It may be held that the universe or the world exists. Because the universe is a collection of individuals, it means that the individual is real. But this individual is a stress of the ego. If the ego is real, it must succeed in all its attempts. The very fact that it attempts at something constantly, shows that it is not real.  Moreover, the ego is subdued every moment either through external or internal agencies. One day or the other, all the egos shall be smashed. The grief of this world is the experien

 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= Tuesday, September 20, 2022. 07:00. SECTION TWO MANTRAM 4. Post -7. ======================================================================== MANTRAM 4 : Consciousness should be realised as the fundamental basis of all mental experiences. It should be realised in every state of our life in waking, dreaming and deep sleep. All thoughts are heterogeneous in their nature. They are not connected with one another. But they are experienced as belonging to one person because of the unity of the Self within. Our body, senses and mind are all made up of scattered parts that appear to be a unified whole because of the underlying indivisible essence. If only the Self were not there, our personality would be thrown away into the condition of atoms, disconnected and varied. There is no difference at all between the building bricks of one body and of another
