Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 D. How can I escape from samsara , which seems to be the real cause for making the mind restless ? Is not renunciation an effective means to realize tranquility of mind ? Maharshi - Samsara is only in your mind .The world does not speak out saying , 'Here I am , the world' . If it did so , it would be ever there , making its presence felt by you even in your sleep. Since , however, it is not there in sleep , it is impermanent. Being imparmanent , it lacks substance . Having no reality apart from the Self , it is easily subdued by the Self. The Self alone is permanent . Renunciation is the non-identification of the Self with the not-Self. When the ignorance which identifies the Self with not-Self is removed , not_Self ceases to exist , and that is true renunciation. D. Can we not perform actions without attachment even in the absence of such renunciation ? Maharshi - An atma-jnani alone can be a good karma-yogi. D. Does Bhagavan condemn Dvaita philosophy ? Maharshi - Dvaita can subsist only when you identify the Self with the not-Self. Advaita is non-identification.
