the game of leela: how to play it and win

[Guest guest]

the Vedas tell us, "all this is brahman."

the Particulars within It, as we commonly allow

them to captivate us to the point that we forget

about their source in brahman, is how all the trouble

began. such an occurence [which may be termed a

'primal disconnect'] is the thing that thwarts us

and is also the thing that must be disabled.

 

the significance as to the reality of the jiva or

ego is itself infinitesimally relevant. as well as

what other jivas might judge of [one's own] jiva,

is equally infinitesimally relevant.

 

what is the implication of the term 'infinitesimally

relevant'? plugged into the Whole or the Totality

of What Is [as the brahman Self], it becomes thus

relatively insignificant as it's absorbed back into

the source of Being. thus the jnani is *constantly*

connected to the brahman Self...so that anything

projected out from It can really have no sway over

his own primal Essence. this is the implication of

moksha [or freedom from the exclusive sting of the

Particulars]. as such, the Particulars are yet

considered part and parcel of the Reality; however,

they'll no longer have any significant impact on the

individual. the impact they had *prior* to this

[shift into jnana] was intense because of his failing

to realize their source in brahman. it's really just

as simple as that.

 

what is paramountly important to understand in all of

this, is that for the jnani *the connection to the

source* in brahman is never lost, regardless of whatever

Particulars are confronted/encountered in the course

of Life's events.
