Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Sri Krishna Parabrahmane namaha! Srimathe Ramanujayanamaha!! They left the mundane bodies made of sathva rajasthamogunas. There were some who enjoyed him with their bodies and felt the bliss. There were some others who experienced him in their meditation and felt the bliss. In which ever way they had experienced him, it led to their release from this prakrithi and resulted in the attainment of ‘a:nanda’. On listening to this Parikshit got a doubt, and asked “Gopikas are not jna:nis. They do not know that Srikrishna is the Parabrahma. They loved him for his enchanting soundaryam. He is the ‘parama purusha’. They went to him leaving their people. This shows that they were thamoguna dominated. Then in that stage, is it possible for one to get released of this prakrithi bandham and attain moksha? It looks they went with desire but not look like the thatva vettas went with the brahma jnana. How would they get moksha?” Sukayo:gi:ndra answered him thus, “Rajan! You know that during the Rajasuya yaga Sisupala who hated Krishna since his childhood attained Krishna. Then Yudhishtira also got a similar doubt-‘How come one who detested Lord so much had attained Bhagavan !’ Narada answered this way: ‘Love and hate would affect one’s mind depending on the thing that is loved or hated. If we think of men or women or substances of this earth who abound in rajas and thamas then those rajas and thamas would only stick to our manas and give rise to grief. If the thing that is meditated on happens to be of ‘Suddha sathvam’ and of ‘jnana a:nanda’ then in the manas that meditates on that thing - only the ‘sathvam’ would enhance and give a:nanda. This attachment will be released. Sri Krishna has the body of suddha sathvam. His body’s soudaryam and ma:dhuryam are not earthly . They are divine. He is the one with jnanam and a:nanda. When we think of him with aversion or desire; with love or friendship; with attachment or any other feeling - since the thing that is meditated on is - the One with A:nanda – ‘it gives only Ananda’. If pepper is eaten knowingly or unknowingly it is spicy, a sugar grain is sweet only. It may be either jnana or ajnana. It is the ‘vastu nishta’. The difference in our thinking would not bring any difference in the result. Sisupala hated and attained mukthi; Gopikas desired him and attained mukthi.The reason - Because He was Lord KRISHNA! O:m Haraye: namaha!O:m Haraye: namaha! O:m Haraye: namaha! Jai srimannarayana! Ramanujamma Ramanuja Dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
