I am not sending this mail to vms-philosophy , since

Sri Vasu Murthy indicated that it could be in use starting on

Sri narahari tIrthara ArAdhana day or Sri gOpala dAsara ArAdhana

day.

 

Sri Gopal avare,

Namaskaragalu.

 

I am trying to make some points which could provide answers to

some of ur questions.

---------------------

 

 

jIva could either be sAtvik, rAjasik or tAmasik which doesnot change.

A sAtvik jIva is by default jnAna - Ananda pUrNa.

A tAmasik jIva is by default ajnAna - dukkha pUrna.

A rAjasik jIva is by default mishra.

 

Every jIva in asrujyAvasta (before being brought into creation)

from anAdi is bound by linga dEha which is triguNAtmaka. But

this linga dEha would not have any binding on jIva whatsoever.

 

To give an anology, lets consider kajji seed (I do not know

what it is called in English). When this seed is dry, if u

shake the seed, u would feel & hear the sound of actual seed

within it. When u soak this seed in water, the outer cover

get expanded and gets attached with actual inner seed.

 

Thats what is the case when the jIva is brought from asrujyAvasta

to srujyAvasta.

 

linga dEha is outer cover &

jIva is actual inner seed.

 

In the commentary to Srimad harikathAmrutasAra, Sri sarkarshana

wodeyaru says, that when the jIva is brought from asrujyAvasta

to srujyAvasta, he is soaked in sri harIs sweat and then makes

linga dEha get attached with jIva who was unbound till that

point. This is the starting point for births & deaths which

depend on anAdi karma, which is present in linga dEha.

 

We shall discuss now wrt to sAtvik jIva :

 

Even though, a sAtvik jIva is jnAna - Ananda pUrna, since jIva

is bound by linga dEha, jIva unknowingly (definitely with sri

hari ichcha)makes friendship with its most hardcore rivals -

" aham " & " mama " . In kannnada, " nAnu " & " nannadu " .

 

jIva should be having " aham " which should be " aham dAsajIvaha "

& jIva should be having " mama " which should be " jnAna & Ananda

are mine & sri hari is mine (nannavanu) " , but due to linga dEha,

it becomes the other way round.

 

sri hari cannot at once bestow mukthi to jIva since jIva is

associated with its hardcore rivals. Disassociating oneself with

sri hari kAruNya from hardcore rivals is sAdhana which results

in Self Realization & Indweller/bimba/sri hari realization (aparoxa).

 

So jIva is anAdi, linga dEha encapsulating jIva is anAdi & karma

associated with jIva is anAdi.

 

sri hari is like a garderner, who nourishes them using the above

ingredients.

 

Hope the above points could clear some of ur doubts.

 

Pl. excuse for any mistakes and pl. let me know of them.

 

I request learned people to contribute to this.

 

Thanx

 

In Hari Guru Seva

Prasanna Krishna
