Talk 120 Verses 431-432The Jivanmukta is one who has permanently gone beyond body identification and his mind is free from worry, attachments and anxiety. Furthermore, he no longer has concerns about the world and lives in advaita bhava transacting all while with the body till it completes its prarabdha karma. All ego sense of I-ness and my-ness have been eliminated. The Jivanmukta's relation with his body is like that with one's shadow and this state of Realization is known as

Talk 119 Verses 425-430Concluding the Science of Reality, this talk explains that when the lure of sense objects is gone vairagya has served its purpose. The dissolution of the ego and desires completes the fulfilment of knowledge. The Realised Master is entirely absorbed in Brahman and is unaffected by all acts with no sense of doership. He enjoys everlasting Bliss and his pure mind is brightly illumined, fully rooted in pure Consciousness. This is a Jivanmukta.Please support this podcast

Talk 118 Verses 423, 424Actions and attachments are prompted because of the ignorance of the Self; with knowledge one is no longer deluded and should withdraw from the unreal temporal world. One who seeks the Absolute Truth sees things as they are, transcends the body and the mind with all its impurities, transcends the intellect, practices Sakshi bhava, cultivates tivra mumukshutvam and turns within to contemplate steadily. When the 3 knots of the heart - avidya, kaam, karma are completely

Talk 117 Verses 420-422This talk on the Science of Reality discuss the benefits of sadhana practice for a seeker, in a logical sequence. The practices of satsang and viveka lead to vairagya, and the dispassion is followed by the shatka sampatti of mind and sense control and withdrawal from extrovertedness is essential for the experience of Supreme Bliss. Vairagya is strengthened further with knowledge and vasanas can be exhausted through pratipaksha bhavna. On detachment from the body, mind

Talk 116 - Verses 416-419Having gained the Knowledge, one should destroy body identification with the root cause of vasanas and ignorance in the nirvikalpa samadhi avastha. And thereafter revel in the Bliss of the Self. The body is used as a tool for sadhana practice and functions according to the prarabdha karma but the knots of the heart are permanently destroyed in the fire of Knowledge, jnana agni. The knower of Brahman becomes Brahman, akhanda ananda atma. Please support this podcast

Talk 115 Verses 412-415Having experienced the Supreme Glory in samadhi avastha, the seeker is encouraged to end the bondage and vasanas collected over multiple lifetimes. He is encouraged to strive incessantly to fulfil the goal of the human birth which is the biggest blessing. The bondage has to be ended in 2 ways - destroying bhoga asakti and karma asakti. The next section deals with surrendering body identification, so the sense of incompleteness goes and the mind is available for steady

Talk 114 - Verses 407-411Now starts a discussion on Contemplation, atma vichara. Through wisdom one realises that the superimposition is the same as the substratum, and the reason for the misapprehension is delusion due to ignorance or non-apprehension. The extroverted mind propels us to act so one has to transcend the antahkarana and turn the contemplation inward. Through the samadhi avastha one will realise the pure Consciousness in his spiritual heart, incomparable, never bound, beyond

Talk 113 Verses 400-406This talk speaks about the non-dual Self, which is purnam, advayam, akriyam. It explains the one non dual Reality which is changeless, formless, Absolute with no diversity. The world of names and forms with all the different living species is one of duality. By contemplation on the Self, one can detach from the not-Self through the stages of sapta jnana bhumika, with the final stage of realisation of turiya. Finally the scriptures declare that all duality is nothing

Talk 112 - Verses 395-399Shankaracharya ji reiterates that, as much as one may study or read the scriptures, the truth is that Brahman is our real nature and Brahman alone pervades everywhere. Masters who have realised this have become Brahman and this is the essence of all the shastras. The biggest obstacle to our experience of this state of Brahman is our body identification. Dis-identify from this impure bag of filth with all its modifications to know the Supreme Reality in the state of

Krittivaasaah: One who wears a skin. One who killed the tiger and elephant who were sent by the ascetics of Daruka forest to attack him. Lord Shiva also once killed a demon called Gajaasura, who came in the form of an elephant and harmed the tapasvins in Kaashi. Lord killed him, peeled his skin and wore that elephant skin. This story is narrated in Skanda purana. This form of Shiva is called Gajaasura-samhaara-moorthy. Elephant is the symbol of pride for physical strength or lust and

Talk 111 Verses 390 - 394After seeing several analogies describing the pointers to the Self, here the discussion is about the delusion, where we see the superimposition but not the substratum. This false perception has to be removed by relentless discrimination. By removing the conditioning of the upadhi, can the state of pure Consciousness be realised. To see the oneness of the homogeneous all pervasive Absolute Truth in and through all the names and forms, there is nothing more to be

In a quiet mind the intellectual understanding is transformed into an intuitive experience, gradually with continuous effort. Mind preparation and integration are of vital importance.

Abandon anxieties for the body and identify with the source of illumination, the Pure Consciousness. Thoughts of the temporal world make us extroverted and bring sorrow. Instead establish the mind in the Bliss of the Absolute which is eternal, self-effulgent, the witness as the means to

Talk 108 - Verses 376-378 The repeated practice of samadhi avastha can lead to the state of Realisation and freedom from bondage, in a seeker with extreme dispassion. The supreme state is one of permanent enduring eternal Bliss, independent of any internal or external factors. This total state of abidance in Brahman comes about through vairagya as well as self-control, hence both are just as important for the mumukshu. Dispassion arises from a well developed sense of discrimination or

Such a man of extreme dispassion is described as one who is yoked to the Lord with extreme devotion and he goes beyond all desires, attachments and the ego sense. Viveka or discrimination leads to dispassion or vairagya and the two are the most important qualifications for an Uttam adhikari seeking
