Limitations of Self or soul

[Guest guest]

The existence of God is experienced by yourself due to the will and grace of

Lord. Therefore, you are able to get that much information about God. Without

His will and grace even that much information cannot be experienced by you.

Beyond that, there is no will of God to realise His real nature. For this, the

reason is that as long as you are having some deficiency, you will not be proud.

If you know the real nature of God, you will catch the hair of God in no time

like the demon Bhasmasura. By this you will fall in the spiritual effort. To

save you from this fall God is keeping that one secret in His hand. The preacher

of Marshal Arts keeps one type of shot as secret in his hand so that if the

student fights with the preacher due to egoism, that one secret shot can be used

to defeat the student and to destroy his egoism.

 

A good student realises this and keeps silent about that shot and he praises

the preacher for his love on the student. An egoistic student tries to know that

one secret shot. After some time, the student claims that that one secret shot

is also known to him by his self-discovery. But the other student condemns the

egoistic student and says that the secret shot discovered by him is already the

known shot preached by the preacher. Thus, he proves that the secret shot is

always with the preacher and that every student must be humble before him.

Similarly the Advaita scholar claims that he has discovered God as the pure

awareness, which is the soul. But the real Vedic scholar condemns him by saying

that pure awareness is one of the imaginable items of the imaginable creation

only. Thus, the secrecy of the real nature of God is maintained and every human

being must be humble before the God.

 

If you can succeed in proving that the soul is not God, the king is defeated

and the war ends. The soul is the king of all items of the creation and it is

almost unimaginable. In fact, realisation and achievement of soul by limiting

yourself within the boundaries of pure awareness always is a very great

achievement and should be highly appreciated. Realisation of soul is called as

Brahma Jnana because the soul is Brahman or the greatest item of creation, which

is also called as Atma Jnana or Jnana Yoga or Sankhya Yoga or Buddhi Yoga or

Yoga. By this achievement (Yoga) one gets full liberation (Moksha) from all the

worldly bonds and tensions. One will attain perfect mental health, which is the

basis of physical health. Thus, Yoga is very much followed by even doctors. It

is an important topic of medical science. It is Pravrutti only, but it is very

important requirement for entering into Nivrutti. It is like the rank in the

entrance examination to get seat in professional

college. Sankara stressed on this first step, which is the basis of the other

steps. If the first step is removed, all the other steps will fall down.

Liberation from all worldly bonds (Moksha) is strictly the last topic of

Pravrutti and first topic of Nivrutti. When you are detached from gross body,

all the family bonds disappear. When you are detached from subtle body all the

qualities disappear and therefore the jealousy and egoism which are the

strongest qualities of the soul will disappear.

 

Then only you are eligible to recognise and serve the human incarnation and

please the Lord, which is the final goal of spiritual effort. Some people say

that attainment of God is final goal. But it is not correct. Going to the office

and finding the officer is not the final goal. To please the officer and by that

getting your work done is the final goal. Ofcourse, in the case of God there

should be no aspiration of any selfish work, in which case only all your works

are done in a fraction of second.
