Subj: Subj: Perception of the Absolute

[Guest guest]

Bramhan (pure awareness) reflects as consciousness and Bramhan's reflection

in the consciousness is called chitta. Through each chitta, the source Bramhan

reflects as Jeeva.

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 how one's chitta 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 the state of one's chitta. Everything (every Vyavaharic scene)

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."
