Mantra 1-3-11

from  Kathopanishad reads as follows :

 puruShAnna paraM

Beyond the PuruSha

there is nothing;

This is the end, The supreme goal.

 Mantra 6-1 and 6-2 from

PraSnOpaniShad read as follows :

  Atha hainaM

sukESA BAradvAjaH papracCa Bagavan . . .

taM tvA pRucCAmi

kvAsau puruSha iti || 6-1

Sukesha asked : Where does that Purusha

dwell?

ShODaSakalAH

praBavatIti || 6-2

He (Pippalada) said : That Purusha-He

from whom these sixteen parts arise – is verily HERE

WITHIN THE BODY.

 

How this Purusha

who is within one’s body can be realized HERE and Now?

I, a mumukshu, seek the guidance from the

learned scholars

of this august group.

Shloka (verse) 22 in chapter13 of Bhagavadgita reads as

follows :

upadraShTAnumantA ca BartA BOktA mahESvaraH

| paramAtmEti cApyuktO dEhEsmin puruShaH paraH || He who is he Witness, the Permitter, the Sustainer, the

Experiencer, the great Lord, and who is spoken as the transcendental Self is

the supreme Person in this body.

The great Lord/puruSha is within this body. How to

cognize/realize this puruSha who is within

this body? The problem is how to know HIM tattvataH ?

Namaste.

 

To your above question and a similar one asked a few days ago quoting the

Prashnaopanishat, the reply is as follows:

 

Acharya Shankara has made it clear in several places that the Purusha, Brahman,

Atman Consciousness is experienced by all in their bodies as: karta/doer,

bhokta/experiencer/enjoyer/, jnAtaa/knower, mantaa/thinker, etc. The Acharya

has said that the 'pravesha (entering)' of Brahman in everyone is to be

understood by recognizing His/Its presence in the above manner. The One

Consciousness behind all the above functions of doer, enjoyer, knower, etc. is

Brahman, none other than Atman. There is no other Consciousness/Conscious

entity apart from this one. By separating/viveka all these 'actions' from the

consciousness as mere aupAdhika/Agantuka/adhyasta (superimposed/incidental), the

Pure unlimited Consciousness is discerned/realized as the Self, Atman/Brahman.

This is what amounts to 'tattvataH jnAnam' (realizing 'as it is') of the Purusha

within one's body.

Dear Sri Subramanian,

I thank you for your reply .

From your reply can I conclude that when the senses are fully active, when the

mind is fully active, one has to realize that one's true nature is that of

Upanishad Purusha who is the Witness of all the activities of the psychosomatic

apparatus? A reply is requested.

Namaste,-"He who is he Witness, the Permitter, the Sustainer, the Experiencer, the great Lord, and who is spoken as the transcendental Self is the supreme Person in this body." 'his' above 'bhavas' are experienced continously. While doing wrong things 'he' is just a 'witness', good things 'he' 'permits', better things 'he' 'sustains, still better things 'he' 'experiences', improve further one should feel 'him', as the 'great lord' and as the 'supreme' as one steps up the knowledge vistas finally letting one 'know' the 'self' & the 'SELF' were the same. -" The great Lord/puruSha is within

this body. How to cognize/realize this puruSha who is within this body? The problem is how to know HIM tattvataH ?" train to listen to the inner voice. By 'abhyasa' and 'vairagya' one can benefit.RegardsBalagopal

Namaste.

 

The sadhana part will involve different methods, depending upon one's

disposition. For a beginner it would not be possible to get that realization

when the senses and mind are 'fully active'. A certain level of quietening them

is advocated by the Upanishads, Gita and the Acharya. It is only when the

practice is well developed that one will be able to hold on to the 'Witness'

thought even when the senses and mind are fully active. The Kathopanishad, the

Gita VI chapter, etc. contain methods for engaging in this sadhana. The

'Nirvana shaTkam', 'Maneeshaa Panchakam' etc. are other texts that could be

studied.
