Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: "Get rid of Asdhyaaropa. Understand clearly the Adhishthana. O man! Aropana (imposition)born out of Ajnaana (ignorance) will cause Moha (delusion). Give it up! Give it up! Aropana causes you to perceive an object as something although it is not that thing (it causes you to think that this strange world itself is Paramatma). If one somehow comprehends ths Adhishtana that is the basis (substratum) for Aropana, all strange superimpositions will immediately vanish. When you comprehend a rope, where will be the illusion that it is a snake? If you realise that it is a bush, where will be delusion that it is a hiding thief? If you are able to comprehend Sat-Chit-Ananda, where will be the illusory world? (It means, one who had mistaken a rope to be a snake in darkness, will get rid of that illusion once there is light. Then there will be no thief. Similarly, when Sat-Chit-Ananda becomes clear, then the world will not be there anymore.)" In Sanskrit: Aadhyaaropana mapaakuru Adhisthaanam sphuteekuru Ajnaanodbhava maaropam Jahi jahi maanava! Mohakarm Na hi te kurute tadbuddhim Nityamatasmin bahuchitre Kenachidapyatha maargena Spaashtam jnaatedhishthane Chitra vichitraa aaropaa Statkshana nashtaa bhavanti hi Jnaate rajjou kuha sarpo Jnaate sthaanou chorah kva Arere! kvedam jagadakhilam Jnaate Sri Sachidaanande Sri Swamiji Journey In To the Self (Lessons in Vedanta) Volume 2 Bhajan pp.3 - 4 Sri Guru Datta, Swamiji Says _____ WIN a first class trip to Hawaii.
