Talk 106 - Verses 369-372Mind and sense control lead to Brahma gyan gradually in stages, each leading to the other. These stages are, living in solitude, sense control, mind and intellect control which help in dissolution of the ego and Self Realisation. Speech control through mind control and alertness of the intellect as a witness is advised in the Kathopanishad. On the other hand, when we identify with the modifications of the body, mind, intellect we devolve to become that, hence we

Giridhanvaa - One who has the mount meru as his bow. This name is in the vedas रुद्राय स्थिरधन्वने गिर : & नम : स्थिराय च स्थिरधन्वने च The significance is just as a mountain is steady and still, our body is the bow in contemplation. Our mind is the arrow which can contemplate steadily on the Truth only if the body is still.

Talk 105 - Verses 366-368 It is in only in the state of nirvikalpa samadhi that saguna Brahman is realised, when the mind is steady and withdrawn from all conditionings of the BMI and the ego. Nirguna Brahman is realised when the identifications and the upadhi are transcended completely. Hence focus on the goal of Brahman and with all the senses controlled, immerse the purified mind in the pursuit of Realisation. The seeker is guided towards samadhi yoga through various steps in this

Talk 104 - Verses 363-365 This talk emphasises the importance of purushartha and constant practice for purification of the mind in preparation for samadhi. Gradually the state of savikalpa transforms to one of nirvikalpa samadhi, the state in which the triputi is transcended. Through this practice all the knots of the heart are destroyed along with the unmanifested vasanas and the Sanchit karma. The importance of reflection over mere listening and of meditation are explained. Please support

Talk 103 Verses 358-362Through the conditionings of the BMI, the upadhi, the Pure Consciousness appears as though diverse. However once the false identification has been dissolved, the wise man transcends duality and realises Brahman in the state of nirvikalpa samadhi. Single pointed, steady contemplation in a mind, devoid of all extrovertedness is essential for the mumukshu to gain liberation. The pure subtle Truth is imperceptible through all organs of perception and can be realised in a

Talk 102 - Verses 354- 357The dvaita bhav is created by the dosha of the buddhi and this false identification is removed in samadhi avastha through the effulgence of the non-dual Self. When the deluded intellect is propelled by the vasanas to act, the sense of I ness and my ness arise, further projecting the ego centric world of plurality, in which the Jiva is hopelessly bound. The personality adjustments required for the mumukshu to attain liberation are also discussed. Please support this

With the advaita bhav, both non apprehension and misapprehension end along with the destruction of the illusory jivabhav and the sorrows of samsara. Created through the combination of matter and spirit, when the buddhi rises, the ego sense and the PFT arise resulting in jivabhav.

Durdharsha: Dreadful & Invincible. Lord is said to be dreadful not due to his nature but due to our nature. When we do wrong karmas, then the Lord appears dreadful to us. Also, we do not want to let go of our ego and experience the limitless Truth. We have a natural fear towards the limitlessness. The Lord is also invincible due to His great qualities, strength and wisdom. The vedas say न तत्समश्चाभ्यधिकश्च विद्यते na tatsamaṡcābhyadhikaṡca vidyatē no one is equal to him nor
