CHAPTER - XI

LIFE DIVINE (Realisation of self)

In Gita Lord Krishna said, “O Dhananjaya, Arjuna, I have shown you the

divine Cosmic Form, My diminutive forms, and the light of my devotion.

Partha, adore Me, surrender to Me, Merge in Me. The absolute dedication

and surrender will enjoin you to Atomic knowledge of realization. That body

is the field of my sport, where the five senses, mind, Prana and bodily

intellect are playing a game of lust and desire. The dream of the Jiva

state abides in this field (Kshetra). The relationship between Jiva and

Shiva is forgotten”.

In the commentary on Gita, Dhyaneshwar has said that the mind is a link

between senses and the discriminative intellect. It is of the material of

Vayu and is fickle. The mind resides outside the intellect’s sphere and

controls ego. It fans the desire, inspires hope and follows up fear. It

pushes the senses in sensory pursuits. It feeds the Sankalpa to create a

world of its own and vanishes its own creations. It makes the Jiva to be

extrovert and restless. It drives the senses after objects. It covers the

intellect with ignorance and fans the hope that one can derive happiness

from the vanishing objects.

The mind rejoices in multiplicity. In the knowledge for Yoga Sadhana effort

is made to put an end to the play of mind. However, this very mind has its

own divinity, because it can join the senses to the self. In the devotional

path the stream of mind is tended towards God. In the Dhyana way, taking

resort to truth and philosophy ends the fiction of mind. The intellect is

made to prevail upon the mind. In Yoga, the mind is made to vanish. The

human mind is thus fickle but can be controlled and steadied. It is divine

in its substance and can join us to the cosmic mind and can bring its

qualities in the individual mind. When the mind turns into itself, it has

a magical effect. It abandons the sensory objects and merges in the body.

It crosses the portals of the waves of consciousness and retires back in

Self. When the mind vanishes, the Sansar or the external world evaporates.

The duality ends. The God oriented mind expands itself to its cosmic

shape. It embraces the universe and gives the realization, which God

resides in our inner being. But it takes the help of devotion, knowledge

and yoga to reach this type of experience or understanding. The working of

body, mind and speech come to a standstill. The mind with tendencies of

senses merges in the heart. The consciousness merges in self. The motions

of breath also become slow. The intellect merges into the being. This

state of happiness, equilibrium and self-based contentment is the state of

bliss. The individual being transforms into ecstasy and stabilizes in the

proximity of cosmic consciousness.
