Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Namaskaram to all while Shri Sreenivasa Murthy could be right, I am afraid that one important thing that is missed may be: in a class, the teacher is teaching every student the same thing. But then why is it that each student's understanding is different from the other? Some students score highest marks only after listening the teacher and then without even reading the subject, spending time chatting with others- not allowing them to study- etc..and some struggle so hard to get pass marks that could be the reason for telling us all these steps. and even if one understands " aham brhamasmi" due to the delusion that "I" identifying with "mine" and that becoming a habit, the tendency to make similar mistakes cannot be ruled out and that warrants all these steps. well this are my feelings i wonder if my understanding is right? also can any one explain "vyavaharika- prathibhasika-parmarthika ...in as simple terms as possible please? namaskaram with prayers sreenivasa murthy <narayana145 (AT) (DOT) co.in> wrote: From : H.N.

Yes. We need four fold qualifications (sAdhana chatuShTayam) to inquire and to assimulate the truth 'aham brahmaasmi'. All though one understands the truth by listening to a teacher, that understanding does not get crystallized until the mind is pure from the pressure of vasanasas. Hence nidhidhyaasana is recomended to internalize the teaching that has been received. > also can any one explain > "vyavaharika- prathibhasika-parmarthika ...in as simple terms as > possible please? These aspects have been treated exhaustively in the Notes on Mandukya Upanishad and Karika. ------------------ > sreenivasa murthy <narayana145 (AT) (DOT) co.in> wrote: > In the light of the above, where is the place and necessity for > Nirvikalpa Samadhi which is adventious.

Yes, It is the realization that I am there in all the three states and yet I am different from all the three states - like gold saying I am there in ring, bangle and necklace but I am different from the ring,bangle and necklace. That is the turiiyam described in Mandukya. Hari OM! Sadananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
