Khandam X :

Siva Jnana Amrita Upanishad : Mantram - 6 to 10.

Post-30.

==============================================================



Mantram-6 :


omityeùa praõavo brahmaõaþ pratãkaþ | vãryavaccaitasyoccàraõaü

oükàràdeùa prapa¤caþ saüvçttaþ | oükàre pratitiùñhati | oükàre ca

pralãyate mahàpralaye | oükàre pratitiùñhati | oükàre ca pralãyate

mahàpralaye | oükàra÷caturõàü vedànàü sàrabhåtaþ || 6 ||


6. Om or the Pranava is the symbol (Pratika) of Brahman. It is the word of power. From Om this world is projected; in Om it exists and in Om it is involved during cosmic Pralaya. Om is the essence of the four Vedas.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mantram-7 :


yo.asau prayatamànaþ sàdhanacatuùñayasaüpannaþ nirastacittadoùaþ

sthirãkçtacittavçttiþ sàttvikaguõavi÷iùñaþ sa eva j¤ànayogamarhati || 7 ||


7. That aspirant who is endowed with the four means, who has removed impurities and tossing of the mind, who is equipped with Sattvic virtues is only fit for the path of Jnana Yoga

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mantram-8 :


jàgratayà prayatnasàdhitena dãrdheõàvicchinnena dhyànena yathàkramaü

bhåmikàþ samàrohet | apràpya ca bhåmànaü nàbhiyogàdviramet |

savikalpasamàdhimàtreõa santoùàbhàsamupalabhya na

sàdhanamapahastayet || 8 ||


8. By careful, diligent, protracted and unceasing practice of meditation gradually ascend the steps (Bhumikas). Do not relax the efforts till you attain the Bhuma (Highest). Do not stop the Sadhana when you get some false contentment from the Savikalpa Samadhi.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mantram- 9 :


sànubhavaü sàrthànusaüdhànaü ca praõavamàmreóayan |

adhyàtmamàrge tarati sarvanantaràyàn | hrasvaþ praõavaþ

sarvapàpanodanaþ | dãrdho muktipradaþ | pluto.akhilamiddhihetu || 9 ||


9. Repetition of Om with meaning and Bhava will remove all obstacles in the spiritual path.The Hrasva (short) Pranava destroys all sins. The Dirgha (long) Pranava gives Mukti, the Pluta gives all Siddhis.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mantram- 10 :


tattvamasi'-mahàvàkyasya

lakùyàrthanusandhànamàtmabodhasyàtitvaritaþ panthàþ || 10 ||


10. Meditation on Lakshyartha (indicative meaning) of Tat Tvam Asi (That Thou Art) Mahavakya (great sentence) is the direct means for attaining Self-realisation.

INTRODUCTION : 24 24. ILLUSTRATIONS IN VEDANTA  : 7,8, AND 9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Padmapatra-Nyaya This is the analogy of the lotus-leaf and water. Rain water often falls on a lotus-leaf but the water drips down and the leaf does not get stained by or attached to the water on it. In the same manner, this Atman or Brahman is untainted, though there are countless worlds rolling in it, and countless bodies are seen to be put on by it. 8. Vatagandha-Nyaya The wind carries whatever scent is exposed to it and spreads it everywhere. But the air is pure and is not defiled by bad scent or ornamented by a good scent therein. This is similar to the illustration of the lot

======================================================================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23/01/2020. 1. Introduction -7. 7.The Mind And Its Works  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mind is Jagat. The mind moves the senses, the Pranas, etc. Mind is the cause of bondage and  liberation. A keen study of the mind and its works is necessary for the study of Vedanta.  The presiding deity of the mind is Moon or Soma. Moon is cool. It is formed of Apas-Tattva (water).

They are not the real senses of Indriyas. The real centres or senses are in the brain or most correctly in the astral body (Suk

============================================================= Tuesday, 09  Jan 2024.  05:30. Article Philosophy On Reason and Higher Life -3. ================================================================ We do not 'give' merely because another man's need is identical with his lack of ability. This is not the reason behind giving. We give because thereby we evolve, and there is the end of it. In this world there is always someone who has a larger ability and some other who has a lesser one. There is no point in mentioning it in the interpretation of the psychology of giving. In the performance of duty the result is not the motive. The motive is the psychological process that is going on in the act of giving. What you think and feel is important. The end beyond it is not the consideration. Our philosophy of Karma Yoga, which is the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, is one of emphasis on the essential value of active duty and not the passive existence of its remote end. It w
