When ENLIGHTENED, just as when one gets up from the dream state and realises that all that was seen in the dream was indeed false and non existent,this vyavahara and all that is seen to exist in this vyabaharika stage get dissolved This is the Supreme Truth where nothing whatsoever is created. "Bhidyate hridayagranthihi Chidyante sarva samshayaahaa Ksheeyante chaasyakarmaaNi tasmin dhrishte paraavare" By beholding Him who is high and low, the fetters of the heart are broken,all doubts are solved and all his karmas (activities and their effrects) wear away. --\ ------------------ Or could there be something more that he plans? --\ ------------------- In Mandukya Karika Shri Vimuktatman states: "Bhogaartham srishti ityanye kreedartham iti chaapare Devasyaishaswabhaavoyam aaptakaamasya ka spruhaa?" Some consider that the creation was for the Lord's own enjoyment,yet others consider that He created all this as a play ground for himself. Actually, this is the Lord's very NATURE,Where is the question of desire for the self fulfilled ONE? With warm regards, Swaminarayan Send instant messages & get email alerts with Messenger.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2000 Report Share Posted September 26, 2000 Dear learned members: Namaskars. I read with interest all the discussions that have been going on the issue of moksha and its relation to sanyasa and further the type of sanyasa that is needed to attain the goal. There is one perspective whereby we perform our duty as a offering to the divine and rejoice this life thanking the divine for providing the opportunity to appreciate him. But here the problem is maya catches up with you fast and you never really get out of the adhyaasa as such. So now the second perspective addressing this problem puts forth the jyana marg. With the knowledge that the divine is within you, make an effort to perfect that, jump out of the adhyaasa in all the possible ways you can ie starting with a physical sanyasa, move towards the goal in persuit. From most of the discussions we could make out that this is THE only method if you want to reach all the way upto the goal unless you have all the traits of Krishna within you. The issue that puzzles me is, going by this second stand, moksha for all would mean end of human population on this earth. I find this a bit difficult to digest. Is that what the divine has been aiming for with all his marvels? Or could there be something more that he plans? with best regards, Surjit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hari Om! sadananda --\ - Dear Shri Sadananda, Come to think of it, I merely put down the slokas from memory.Since I do not have all my notes with me here I am not able to give you the source text off hand.While the basic ideas in the slokas in my posting are relevent to the subject therein,this sloka could also be in the Mandukya karika.I am not very sure! In case other members are able to to throw some light on the same I will stand corrected. With warm regards, Hari Om !
