Talk 146 Verses 540-543The Man of Realisation has no particular distinguishing qualities nor any identification with the body at all, instead he relates with the world of objects in a child-like manner. His choice of clothing is of no consequence to him and the 3 analogies presented liken him to an innocent, unaware child, a madman and a ghost. He lives in isolation and may act in keeping with the prarabdha of the body, but is completely desireless. He may live simply or in a state of

Talk 145 Verses 537-539The Realised Man is neither elated nor grieves; he is unaffected by all sense contacts. ‘aham’ and ‘mama’ do not plague him and he is oblivious to body identification. Attachments, insistence on results of our actions and ego-centric desires bring worry, but the disciple is satiated with the bliss of Brahman. Realized mahatmas have no concern or anxiety about their basic necessities, but live free, independent and joyously, revelling in Pure Consciousness.Please

Talk 144 - Verses 530-537The valid means of knowledge are the shastras and for that, the knower must contact the known appropriately. Direct perception of the Truth is not possible. The Absolute Truth is not dependent on time, place or outward purity, it is effortlessly known in a purified mind and a subtle intellect. Just like the Sun illumines the world, Consciousness illumines the world of waking, dream and deep sleep. Through the continuous practice of nirvikalpa samadhi, the knower of

Rudra: rud means sorrow and the reason of sorrow - Ignorance & attachment. Lord Shiva drives it away and hence he is known as Rudra. The Lord is also named Rudra because he makes us cry and also drives away pains. We have already studied about the limitless compassion and kindness of the Lord but he also punishes us to correct our mistakes so makes us cry. Rudra as the destroyer is also referred here. He destroys the worlds and gives death to the beings. There are many other meanings

Talk 143 Verses 526-530The Guru continues to advise his disciple that having attained the bliss of the Self, live in silence without getting extroverted. As the mind abides in the Absolute Peace, there is the quietude of egolessness that pervades him. Free of vasanas this Man of Realisation lives unencumbered and untethered, drinking the Supreme Bliss. He is not bound by place, time, posture, direction or moral disciplines; he has risen above all kinds of rules having transcended Jiva

Talk 142 - Verses 522-525For a man with a spiritual vision there is nothing except Brahman. All sense of separateness and duality have been transcended. To reach this pinnacle, there are various sadhanas for different personalities. Who will settle for paltry temporary pleasures when one can experience the Supreme Self? That highest state is not one of blankness, rather the fullness of the Spirit, Pure Bliss, referred to as tripti. The Guru again advises his disciple to revel and enjoy the

He acknowledges the countless modifications in Prakriti, knowing himself to be beyond all ,while negating what He is not. He declares himself to be the non dual substratum and illuminer of the entire gamut of names, forms and multiplicity, as the Supreme Reality.

Vyomakesha - One who has space as his long locks of hair. In the vishvaroopa of the Lord, the space is visualized as his hair. Space is invisible and subtlest of the 5 elements. It accommodates everything, yet remains unaffected. This indicates that the Lord is also formless. Another meaning is the One who expanded his hair like the space to catch and hold Gangā.Please support this podcast by pressing the follow button and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai projects taken up by Swami

Talk 139 : Verses 507- 510 We have seen how the disciple expresses his experience of realisation to the Guru, with no ego sense. He has no sense of doership, nor enjoyership, nor the bhav of the seer, rather has the sense of Pure Self alone. He acknowledges the foolishness of the jiva who identifies with the reflecting medium out of the sense of dehatma bhav and gets further deluded. This Man of Realisation is no longer affected by the conditionings, modifications or the dharmas of the

Talk 138 : Verses 503 to 507 'I am that unaffected, all pervasive, homogeneous Pure Consciousness, without any differences' - this is the realization of this student. We may use this as a sadhana for as - how much can I remain unaffected? At the mental equanimity is important to remain unaffected by the pairs of opposites in the world, so that I can detach from the mind also and realize I am Pure Consciousness and which has nothing to do with the BMI, nor the world. There is no body

Devaasuraguruhu: This is another name of Lord shiva in the sahasranamavali. He is the preceptor of both the gods and demons. He is prajapati, the essential guru of devas and asuras.

The verses assert that the dharmas of the body do not affect the Pure Self, which is like the clouds have no connection with the sky.The verses remind us that the Jiva is the enjoyer and the experiencer who will go from one life to another. Pure consciousness is like the mountain without movement or change.The Self is the same homogeneous nature at all times, there is no engaging, there is

Talk 136 : Verses 498-500This talk begins with denying the gross body, subtle body, causal body as they are mere superimpositions. As seekers, the challenge is to drop this superimposition which we consider very real to us. This can be done by applying, internalizing the vedantic axiom that the superimposition can never contaminate the substratum. In these verses Shankaracharaya ji pointedly tells us that for a realized person there is no sanchita, agami and prarabdha karma, hence
