The Pinnacle

[Guest guest]

I see that the Ajatavada view of Gaudapada (the uncausal view or non-

creation view saying there is no soul,no world,no sadhana..no nothing

and that we are already THAT)is quite popular ..owing to its

inherently simple and elegant nature.

 

Those who truly feel themselves upto it can refer the Mandukya

Karika.This is the gloss written by Gaudapada on the the Mandukya

Upanishad and further there is a commentary on it by shankaracarya.

 

all this some thousands of years back.....match your wits against

it ..it wud be rewarding....some paras attached below-

 

(Causation is the Result of Attachment to a Causal View)

IV-55. As long as there is fascination for cause and effect, so

long do cause and effect come into existence. When the fascination

for cause and effect ceases, there is no further springing up of

cause and effect.

IV-56. As long as one is completely absorbed in cause and effect,

so long does transmigration continue. When the absorption in cause

and effect ceases, one does not undergo transmigration.

IV-57. From the relative plane (of thinking) everything seems to

be born and is not, therefore, eternal. From the absolute plane (of

perception) everything is the unborn (Self) and there is, therefore,

nothing like destruction.

IV-58. The souls that are thus born are not born in reality. Their

birth is like that of an object through Maya. And that Maya again is

non-existent.

 

but its like enjoying it by BEING IT....wot joy is there in

talk...????

 

 

another great work which is somewhat akin to Mandkya Karika is the

Astavakra Gita.....this also says that what effort can be made to

reach it ?/since we already are IT.
