Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Namaste, all In my last post I by mistake put a wrong subject, it should be " Re: FORMAL SANNYASA IS IT PREREQUISIT TO JIVAN MUKTI?? " Sorry for the mistake, which I always make Warm Regards I repeat my last post below: Namaste all, Again in my IMVVHO Jeevan Mukta continues to perceive but the difference is he does so through Gnana Drushti, whereas we perceive through Agnana Drushti, agnana janita, i.e., Mithyagnana, Drushti. Jeevan Mukta continues to do vyvahara, but not with a motive of gaining anything/losing anything, i.e. for happiness/avoiding unhappiness. He does so out of happiness, as he rests always in peace and happiness, which is never disturbed, as he knows any cause that appears to disturb is itself happiness. Happiness cannot take away/disturb happiness. He knows that “while answering any call, it is the call of his immortality”. (Sri Nairji, pardon me for quoting from your very pertinent poem). It is only for us Pravurthi and Nivrurthi, (AMF there is no Nivrurthi as that is also Pravurthi only) and for a Jeevan Mukta both are meaningless as far he is concerned, as he does not gain/lose anything from both. He is above Dharma and Adharma i.e. about the notions attached to Dharma and Adharma that adhering to them is a prerequisite for Moksha. He is no more interested in Moksha, because he knows he was, he is, he will be never bound (“That never can be Other than You, my Immortality”. Sri Nairji, again Pardon me). Such a Jeevan Mukta can be a brahmachari, gruhasta, vanaprasti and sanyasi. The Ashramas or style of life, and the different paths (?) such as karma yoga, bhakti yoga, hatha yoga, gnana yoga, etc, has no meaning for him, (because he knows “There You are! Mother! My own Immortality!” Again from Sri Nariji’s super poem) but the way he lives, i.e. how and why he interacts, how he does vyvahara is all that he is interested in, and his such interest is spontaneous and not a reaction to any situation. He has already renounced all Dharmas/adharmas i.e. the notions attached to Dharmas/adharmas, and he always abide in Him, i.e. the ultimate Knowledge and it is through that Knowledge he continues to live and do vyvahara in the world (“Sarva Dharman Parithyajya Mam Evam Saranam Vraja). He has nothing to renounce because what is there to renounce or not to renounce, and even if he renounces anything what will get out of it? There is no more conditioning for him as all conditioning are result of mithya-gnana. He can be a worker, a social worker, an office employee, and a professional, etc. that does not matter. The only “nyasa” if at all he has done is that of ignorance about him, about the world and Eswara, although there is no nyasa involved, as there is no special effort in knowledge taking place. Such a Jeevan Mukta is very rare very rare to be found, although we can find so many sanyasies/yogies, because he does not appear to us in no way different from us. Even he does not know whether he is a Jeevan Mukta as for him he was never a Jeevan Bandha, i.e. bound by the jeevanness, which is the result of mithyaagnaana. Any repetition/any confusion/any ambiguity in my post may kindly be pardoned. Warm regards May I quote some of the Upanishad Vakyas on Jeevan Mukta (Please do not ask me in which Upanishads they appear.) “Yadha thishtanthi Brahmaadyaa: sanakaadyaa: shukaadyaa:” “Adhyatmarathi: aseena: nirapeksha: niraashisha: “Sarva dwandwai: vinirmukta bhramani eva thishate “Bhaava abhaava kalaa vinirmuta: sarvasamshayadhwasth: poornaahambhava: kruthakruthya: “Nirmaana: cha anahamkaara: nirdwandwa: chhinnasamshaya: “Smruthwaa sprusthtwaa cha bhuktwaa cha drushtwaa shubhaashubham “Na hrushyathi glaayathi ya: sa saantha: “Apraptam hi patithyajya sampraapte samathaam gatha: “Adrushtswed aswaada: ya” santhushta iti kadhyathi (These quotes are (there are many more) from “Jeevan Mukta Vakyaani” as collected and written in a small book “Mahavakyarathnaavali” by Sri Panduranga Javaji (of Mumbai). These Vakyas are for Manana leading to Nidhidhyaasana) Read only the mail you want - Mail SpamGuard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
