"Poornamadah" - "Nandami" "Nandami" "Nandami"

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

*********************

 

There is a srushti, creation. There are objects, out there. So and so created

this, by such and such way, etc. etc.

 

I am not worried at all; let there be a srushti; let there be a creator; let

there be objects, etc. so what, how does it matter to me.

 

BUT, I am Dukhi, I have fear, I am scared of death, I am limited; my intellect

is limited, I am limited by my mind, by my physical features, by others around

me, by the world out there. I am insignificant. I always lack. I am not

accepted.

 

I have guilt. These and many such are my problems. In short I am not happy and

there is no happiness for me. Yet, I do get glimpses of happiness now and then.

I want to be happy always, and remain in happiness. I have tried and adjusted

and manipulated with all available methods. I have done japa. I have performed

various rituals. I have worshipped varies deities. I have followed various

methods of worships, i.e. time of worship, way of worship, etc. etc., I have

used various types of things for worships as told by others; I have fasted on

particular days. I have done meditation. I have gone for yoga. People belonging

to other “isms” say it is my “ism” that is binding you, that is making me

suffer, so come to our fold, I will be liberated, because I am a sinner, and

only they can wash my sins. Other “isms” say equally same things, but in a

different way. But, I find people belonging to such other “isms” also are

equally unhappy, sometimes more unhappy.

 

So, in short I AM DUKHI, UNHAPPY, LIMITED, INSIGNIFICANT, MORTAL, ETC. ETC.

 

The Upanishads are addressed to people like me who have concluded this, i.e. I

AM DUKHI, UNHAPPY, LIMITED, INSIGNIFICANT, MORTAL, ETC. ETC.

 

Whatever is discussed in the Upanishads regarding creation, Eswara, maya, etc.

are said in a casual way, i.e. “Prasangavasad” only. Such discussions seen in

the Upanishads are not very important. As creation/the creator/how created, are

not my problems. They have a purpose, i.e. to unfold the self knowledge, and

after serving the purpose they do not deserve any analysis. Once I have seen the

rope, I should no more worry how the snake appeared on the rope, who created

that snake, etc.

 

The Upanishads through my Teacher say, rather guarantee that “Tatwam Asi”

 

You are that. It unfolds my swaroopa of that Tatwa to me and now I know “Aham

Brahmasmi” i.e. I am Brahman, i.e. Poornam, nothing can limit me, in fact it is

I only projected other things, due to ignorance of my self and I only created

all my said problems for me. Now everything is dream and the dream continues,

but I enjoy participating in it.

 

The knowledge

 

“Poornamadah . . . . . . .

 

Poornam eva avashishyate”

 

Also has made me to recognize and appreciate…..

 

 

 

“Gnaanam atha, gnaanam idam

 

gnaanaat gnaanam aduchyate

 

gnaanasya gnaanam aadaaya

 

gnaanam eva avasishyate”

 

 

 

OR

 

 

 

“Chit atha, chit idam

 

chittaat chit aduchyate

 

chittasya chit aadaaya

 

chit eva avasishyate”

 

 

 

AND

 

 

 

“Satyam atha satyam idam

 

satyaat satyam aduchyate

 

satyasya satyam aadaaya

 

satyam eva avasisyate”

 

 

 

AND, since IT is “anantham satyam, and anantham chit (gnaanam)” IT is Anandam,

as it is Poornam, or Absolute and therefore:

 

 

 

“Aanandam atha aanandam idam

 

aanandat aanandam aduchyate

 

aanandasya aanandam aadaaya

 

aanandam eva avishyate”

 

 

 

So, “NANDAMI” “NANDAMI” “NANDAMI”

 

 

 

SO GOES THE KNOLWEDGE OF A KNOWER OF SELF.
