Re: Ignorance - an example
Pranam yajvan
yes a reasonable observation... as with words, they seem to get in the way, yes? The 'strive' I wish to acknowledge is that of our intent, our will. This Brahman is
svatasiddha, self proved. It is the SELF revealing itself to itSELF. So what of this word strive then? It is to make the resolve.
Yes you are right the word will always fall short of actual realisation, as the saying goes the proof is in the pudding.
I am not here to rock the boat and I realize, most on this forum follow advaita, please do let me know if I irritate any one, then I would stop.
If I may continue with your permission and ask, what need is there for self to reveal to the self since the supreme self would always be aware of it self.
Sa kratum kurvita, or
one should make the resolve. What is this resolve for us to consider? To realize Brahman, that
'that this is so, not otherwise' That Brahman is our core value and our true nature. I have no doubt of this what so ever, for this I am blessed.
I agree Atatho Brahm Jigyasa. of course our nature is of Brahman because we are part of it.
And I like this bhajan as composed by one of the recent Sankrachrya I believe. one line goes like this Mujme tujme bas bhed yahi me nar hu tum Narayan ho.
It is not turn an apple into horse. It is for me to realized
all along that I am That. And somehow I have found a way to forget this vidya. To this I have the resolve, to remember who I am.
LIke a scuptor that chizels out a statue. They carve away everything that is not the satute, as it lives inside the rock.
LIke that, these kosha's that surround atman, are the parts that need to be transcended to reveal the core of our Being, Brahman.
Again I agree that this covering of material body is to be transcended and thus our true nature will be revealed. As I stated before Brahman has no possibility to forget, it is always sat chit and ananda
So I ask again who is forgotten how did I forgot this vidya who am I?
Yet once this is done, even the shells or kosha's (pieces of rock) that are chipped away are also Brahman. This is even-ness ( sama) of seeing the world with a balanced mind. That a gold coin is the same (essentially) as a stone. How so? Essentially they are expressions of the same Brahman, of pure consciousness , pure intelligence, so say the wise. I am blessed to finally comprehend this and see this possibilty.
Again, I can not but agree, as Lord Narsingh dev proved and makes his appearance from a pillar.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
