'I am' enjoying every word written here. It is enjoyable knowing that all

words (100 percent) have relative meanings. The meaning too is a collection of

words. Here and now words dissolve in the joy. Consciousness is the reflected

awareness of Bramhan and THAT awareness is playing the game of words through

illusions (ie consciousness, mind, logic, philosophy, words and apparent

meanings). When consciousness attains the waking state, the first powerful

illusion of

'I am' appears. The Bramhan is a name for the master of all illusions.Yet

everyone is right from where one is. A word for this is Vyavaharik Drishti, and

that various visions (dristi) appear as the play of illusion to the Bramhan.

Maya is that unknowable force which strings all momentary visions (dristi) and

makes this to appear as an apparent dynamic world. Everyone of us is the

awareness of the Bramhan who is enjoying the human experience here and now.

The beauty of words from Gita 4:24 or Shastra comes with this understanding.

Chittavritti (conditioning) keep the chitta from the understanding. Everyone

is right as per one's state of chitta. Everything happens as per the will of

Bramhan.

Namaste Sri Raghavarao,

       One way of understanding the second line is through 'anvaya'

(syntax):

brahma-karma-samAdhinA tena brahma eva gantavyam |

"Through absorption/contemplation on the objects of actions themselves

AS brahman, one reaches (realizes oneself as) brahman."
