Thus Spake Sri Rama

[Guest guest]

The Atman has no emotions and qualities, but it is supreme bliss

itself. It has no beginning and no end. It is all-pervading,

indivisible, one, non-dual, supreme, devoid of qualities, filling the

whole universe, and formless. It is the paramount truth, not to be

measured by one's intelligence or knowledge and it is untouched by Maya.

 

To experience this directly you should seek the help of a Guru who

will explain this to you from the Sastras. When you experience that

you and every other Jiva are none other than the Paramatman itself,

then you gain Mukti (Salvation). Without Jnana, Vijnana and Vairagya,

it is not possible to attain Mukti. And one who has got it is very

rare in this world.

 

For attaining this state, devotion to Me is most important. Even if

you have got eyes, you need a light to see your steps in darkness. In

the same way, even if you have enough knowledge, you need devotion to

Sri Rama in order to see the right path.

 

If you have it, then what more do you want? My Bhakta will get Jnana,

Vijnana and Vairagya automatically. The sags say like this. Thus at

your request I have explained to you the way of salvation (Mukti

Marga). Whosoever digests this properly and follows it, will attain

liberation.

 

Whoever serves Me at least once, mentally regarding Me as Saguna (with

attributes)as well as Nirguna (without attributes), will be purified

by the sacred dust of My feet, as the three worlds are purified by the

rays of the sun. This advice is not insignificant. This is the essence

of all that is said in the Srutis.

 

What I have advised you is the knowledge that can be obtained only by

the study of Vedanta. He who studies this with great faith and

devotion to Me and My words, will surely attain union with Me.
