Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 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 Mukta23. Anything seen as other than Brahman-Self is bound tocause fear and trouble. Therefore, it behoves one to stick to thesingle attitude that everything sensed is Brahman-Self alone. Indue course even this one thought must be given up, in order toabide firmly in the free undisturbed blissful state of the soleBrahman-Self. (Ch.15, v.5)24. The total discarding of the mind is alone victory,achievement, bliss, yoga, wisdom and liberation. The sacrificeof the mind is, in fact, the totality of all sacred sacrifices.(Ch.15, v.7)25. The firm denial of the existence of the mind and thefirm belief in the existence of Brahman-Self, is the sure way tothe conquest of mind, leading to the experience of the soleeffulgent Self. (Ch.15, v.11) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
