Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 THE ESSENCE OF RIBHU GITAThe following verses constitute the teachings of Siva to Ribhu,who in turn transmits those teachings to his disciple Nidhaga Rishi.The treatise goes by the name Ribhu Gita.The Videha Mukta17. The Videha Mukta* is free from the least trace ofthought; he abides all alone in his effulgent pure-Awareness-Self in intense unbroken bliss, totally oblivious of limited forms,in a state of Maha-Mounam (stillness of body, speech and mind).(Ch.9, v.1)* The term literally means the `disembodied-liberated person'. He is thematured adept, who at the moment of death, abides as the pure Sat-Chit-Ananda-Self.Figuratively the term means mature liberated being who, while still alive,abides as the pure Sat-Chit-Ananda-Self without awareness of body andthe world around him.
