COSMIC EGO AND INDIVIDUAL EGO ARE POLES APART, .OCEAN AND BUBBLE.
SAKTHY IS 'SENSE OF PRESENCE' AND. SHIVA IS PRESENCE.
BALANCING OF THE MIND AND INTELLECT, (REPRESENTING THOUGHTS AND DISCRETION) IS POSSIBLE ONLY THROUGH WISDOM KNOWLEDGE.
RAJO GUNA. AND TAMO GUNA ARE THE TURBULENT WAVES OF THOUGHTS AND SATVA GUNA IS THE GENTLE. MOVEMENT OF WAVE-THOUGHTS ON THE OCEAN OF I CONSCIOUSNESS. .
I AM. IS. WISDOM KNOWLEDGE - (LIVING IN ITS FULL EXPRESSION,), AND LIFE IS SUPREME KNOWLEDGE. ( I. CONSCIOUSNESS)
IN ANUBOODHY (AWARENESS) THERE IS NO 'THOUGHT', IN ANUSANDANAM THERE IS A SINGLE THOUGHT. .
SALOKYAM,
SAMEEPYAM, SAROOPYAM, SAYOOJYAM ARE DIFFERENT STAGES IN 'EVOLUTION', AT THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL INTELLECTUAL, AND WISDOM LEVEL. BEYOND IS BRAHMANIRVANAM.
"LEEYATHE, VILEEYATHE, PRAVALEEYATHE, PRATHIPRAVEEYATHE, THESE TERMS ALSO MEAN THE ABOVE EVOLUTION.
"I ". IS WITHOUT THOUGHTS," I " STANDS ALONE AS CONSCIOUSNESS, (EXISTENCE OR PRESENCE).
ALL OUR ATTEMPT TO REALIZE " I " IS THROUGH " I AM ".
NO COMPLAINT, PLEASING AND CONTENTED, NO EXPECTATION - WITH THESE ALTRUISM, ONE IS "PRASANTHATMA".
MIND DISSOLVING IN 'I AM' IS "MUKTHY" AND 'I AM' DISSOLVING IN ' I-CONSCIOUSNESS IS "MOKSHA". '.
AS WE GROW OLD, WISDOM ALSO SHOULD GROW, OUTLIVING EGO, MIND AND INTELLECT.
DIVE INTO THE DEPTH OF THE MIND AND REALIZE THE SOURCE, INSTEAD OF REMAINING ON ITS PERIPHERY.
WHILE EGO ATTACHES ITSELF TO THE PHYSICAL EXISTENCE, MIND HAS THE FREEDOM EITHER TO GO WITH EGO, OR ATTACH ITSELF TO WISDOM KNOWLEDGE.
EXPRESS. "WISDOM IN LIVING" ; CONTEMPLATE "LIFE". I -AM. IS "WISDOM LIVING". AWARENESS IS THE SUBSTRATUM FOR LIFE AND LIVING.
SENSE OF EXISTENCE - IS PRIMARY CONCEPT, AND MIND IS SECONDARY CONCEPT.
"I AM" - SENSE OF EXISTENCE - IN IT'S PURITY - SHOULD MERGE WITH, RATHER DISSOLVE, IN EXISTENCE "I".
SO LONG AS WE HAVE 'SENSE OF EXISTENCE, WE SHALL CONTEMPLATE ON "EXISTENCE" WITHOUT DISSIPATING THE SENSE OF EXISTENCE INTO MIND AND EGO.
SENSE OF EXISTENCE CAN BE REMEMBERED WITH THE ANALOGY OF GENTLE MOVEMENT OF WAVES IN A HOMOGENOUS FORM ON THE OCEAN OF EXISTENCE.
' I AM ' HAS NO SPLIT CONCEPTS, WHEREAS MIND - A REFLECTION OF 'I AM' ENTERTAINS CONCEPTS , ALWAYS IN DUALITY -
MIND CAN EITHER SHRINK AS EGO , OR EXPAND AS "I AM". SO ALSO 'I AM'. CAN SHRINK AS MIND, OR EXPAND AND DISSOLVE IN 'I - CONSCIOUSNESS.
WE MAY START OUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY WITH 'PRAYER', AND END WITH 'SURRENDER '.
PREMAM IS THE EXPRESSION OF 'BHAKTHY'.
"AM" HAS NO INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE, WHILE" I " HAS IT.
I - CONSCIOUSNESS NEED NOT MEDITATE . ON WHOM IT HAS TO MEDITATE?
IT IS "I AM THE MIND" THAT MEDITATES.
MEDITATION IS ONLY A 'THOUGHT' WHICH, OF COURSE HELPS TO ELIMINATE OTHER THOUGHTS - ULTIMATELY, IT LEADS ONE TO A 'THOUGHTLESS STAGE.
.
FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSE, ONE CAN ELIMINATE ALL OTHER THOUGHTS, AND REMAIN WITH THE ONLY THOUGHT "I-AM" (LIFE AND LIVING) REPRESENTING "PEACE" AND HAPPINESS.
'.
PREMAM IS THE EXPRESSION OF 'BHAKTHY'
"SAT-CHIT-AANANDAM" IS THE 'SWAROOPAM' OF 'SENSE OF EXISTENCE ('I AM'). "SATYAM-GNANAM-ANANTHAM" IS THE SWAROOPAM OF "EXISTENCE" ( ' I ' ).
..
AN IDEAL INDIVIDUAL REGULATES 'THOUGHTS ' WITH WISDOM -KNOWLEDGE , AND EXPERIENCES HAPPINESS . ONCE THOUGHTS END, PEACE PREVAILS.
WISDOM KNOWLEDGE IS ABSENCE OF CONFLICT AMONG THOUGHTS AND AN ATTITUDE OF 'ACCEPTANCE'..
ON REALIZATION OF ONE'S OWN SWAROOPAM , ONE CAN EXPRESS ACTIONS IN ANY FIELD WITHOUT REACTION.
KNOWLEDGE DAWNS, ONLY WHEN ONE BECOMES AWARE OF HIS OWN IGNORANCE. .
GOOD AND EVIL, APPARENTLY CONFLICTING CONCEPTS, APPEARING AS DHARMA AND ADHARMA ,ULTIMATELY, MERGE IN SATYAM (EXPRESSION OF ABSOLUTE).
'ISWAROPASANA' IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR TO REALIZE THE 'KNOWLEDGE OF IGNORANCE'. SURRENDER IS THE CRUX OF ' ISWAROPASANA'..
THE INTRINSIC VALUE OF HUMAN EXISTENCE IS " PEACE ", AND THE INCIDENTAL VALUE IS "HAPPINESS". ALL OTHER EMOTIONS LIKE PLEASURE/PAIN, LIKES/DISLIKES, ENJOYMENT/SORROW ARE ONLY REFLECTIONS/DEFLECTIONS OF HAPPINESS.
DO NOT SAY "DOER"; INSTEAD, VIEW ONLY 'DOING" (HAPPENING ) AN APPARENT VIBRATION OF THE COSMOS.
.
'DEHABHODHAM' CANNOT BE DONE AWAY WITH , SO LONG AS' THERE IS 'SENSE OF EXISTENCE'. REMAIN WITH THAT, EXPRESSING HAPPINESS.
GET RID OF AHANTAI (FEELING OF INDEPENDENT DOER AND ENJOYER), MAMATAI (FEELING OF POSSESSION) AND DEHABHIMANAM . THESE THREE VIZ.,' AHANTAI, MAMATHAI AND ABHIMANAM', ARE COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS 'EGO' (AHAMKARAM).
BE A DETACHED OBSERVER OF ALL HAPPENINGS WITHIN AND WITHOUT..
SUFFERING, WHEN DETACHED AND VIEWED, AS A MERE 'HAPPENING', SHALL NOT MAKE ONE A 'SUFFERER'.
APART FROM GOD'S WILL, THERE IS NO INDIVIDUAL'S FREE WILL.
ONLY WHEN THERE IS A FEELING. OF 'DOERSHIP', THERE SHALL BE 'ATTACHMENT TO THE RESULTS THEREON.' . WHEN THE DOERSHIP IS OUTLIVED, THERE SHALL BE ONLY 'DEEDS' .
DEEDS (KARMA) SHALL CONTINUE TILL SUCH TIME. 'BODY' LASTS. NO DOERSHIP, NO ATTACHMENT TO RESULT, NO ATTACHMENT TO BODY, IS WHAT IS AIMED AT.
.
. HAPPINESS IS EXPERIENCED ONLY WHEN BOTH THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EMOTIONS ARE VIEWD WITH "EQUANIMITY"..
PEACE REPRESENTS "I " ; HAPPINESS REPRESENTS "I AM". HAPPINESS GETS FULFILLMENT IN "PEACE".
KARMA IS EXPRESSION OF THOUGHT WHICH IN TURN IS THE EXPRESSION OF GUNAS THESE THREE (GUNA, THOUGHT AND KARMA ARE THE OFF-SHOOT OF "I AM".
"LIFE-LIVING SHALL CO-EXIST LIKE 'DANCER -DANCE'.
ABSOLUTE IS NEITHER A WITNESS NOR WITNESSED, BUT AT THE SAME TIME,IT IS EVER AWARE OF ITS OWN EXPRESSION ON THE SURFACE.
